The top of this draft is reminding me of 2012. There'll be top talent, but it isn't immediately obvious to me who will ascend...

My only Ullmark issue is the injuries... That being said, we're screwed without him.

***** that. Draft position worries are what led us to this nightmare. Win. Especially win when Dahlin, Mitts, Joki, Asplund, and Cozens are leading the charge. I'd rather win out and pick 10th than pick 1st this year.

Give me more experience. This should only be the beginning. More hockey experience, less Pegula's.

I've heard it's multiple injuries. Jack really should be on IR, but he's trying to push through it.

I'm trying to shore up Hutton, not remove Ullmark.

Gotta keep to the system (I'm talking to the free-lancers. Eichel, Skinner) and gotta improve goaltending, and not just slightly. Hutton, Montour/Miller, asset for Fleury. Do it, and we'll be in the playoffs finally.

Before the year, I would've said "Good, because Adams wasn't an idiot and got an Eric Staal." Currently, it could push even further towards "the secondary scoring that ensures us a playoff spot and Cozens a calder shot"

If I'm comparing to Hutton, who I'd have going the other way in any hypothetical deal, then 5 wins at least.

This upcoming season?? Who’s spot is he taking?

Well, fortunately/unfortunately, the can can't be kicked further. 2021 offseason will be a big one.

Man, next year's off season is going to have some real big decisions... Love the AAV, wanted more than 1 year.

Fully agree with this. Quinn pick and Girgensons contract vs what the market ended up being remain my only two issues of the off-season. (I've cooled on disliking the Eakins contract)

Good deal. Glad he's back. Even more glad he's a RFA next year.Love me some Sammy.

If Reider can play center, perhaps. That’s Lazar’s top 12 nod atm. (I think ruotsalainen should have every chance to take that job)

I'll hold off on debating that until I can actually see Tage in training camp and what work he's put in.

If I’m Krueger, I’m parking Tage in front of the net on PP2. It’s all about improving that PK. If they think Reider can do that, than either Okposo or Tage are sitting.

I’m starting to wonder if Okposo has a spot. If they want Reider to improve the PK, and they just shelled out for Girgensons, Girgensons - Lazar - Reider surely sounds like our 4th line. Okposo doesn’t have Larsson anymore, doesn’t do PK, and is likely to lose PP time to Tage or Cozens.

Linus 2.5 - 3 Olof - 3.5 - 4 Reinhart - 6 - 6.5

We'd either need salary retention, or to dump salary back. They'd want the moon for a franchise legend and one of the best of his generation. I can't see a deal that I wouldn't qualify as "Buffalo stealing Patrick Kane"

100% a Rochester signing. Depth Rochester signing at that.

For it, but not option #1.

Plus the draft. They DEFINITELY bought goals at 8.

Disagree. When older prospects perform like top tier talent in top-Europe leagues (SHL, liiga, KHL), they can definitely skip that step. Pilut should've been in Buffalo right away when we got him.

Liiga.
