What are you talking about he was outstanding last year and was WHL rookie of the year and 2nd place in the chl for rookie of the year just ost to wright.
Why do i keep talking about MacKinnon beacuse you're saying hes not good because of u18 yet Mackinnon sucked when he was captain but apparently his draft value didn't change
I’m not a fan of Guenther, simple as that. I don’t see this 90-100 point difference maker you keep pimping. I see a passenger on a line, a guy that needs someone else drive the play and get him the puck. Not a guy I want to spend a top pick on.

I dont understand why you're using u18 ? So his success last year and this year are just gone ? He had 7 points in 7 games its Ridiculous that you don't want to draft him because of that?
Real talk so when MacKinnon had 1 point in 7 games his draft year in world jrs where his teamate Drouin had 4 points did you cross him off the list ?
No that was just a Idiotic pick
Real talk, Guenther was no great shakes last year either. He was good, not great. You are taking one 12 game stretch in a very disjointed WHL season to make your basis of a 100 point winger. I don’t see it. He was outplayed at the U18 by guys ranked much lower then him. He should have stepped forward and dominated but instead he was a passenger.
Nothing in Guenther screams top pick to me.
And why do you keep making this MacKinnon comparison? MacKinnon played in the U20 in his draft year, not the U18. Guenther was 7th or 8th leading scorer on his own team while playing top line minutes and top PP time. If anyone watched the games they knew MacKinnon was the better player than Drouin. Especially during the Memorial Cup run.

He wants Guenther in the worst way. Maybe he's right. Maybe he's wrong.
I know he does but:
1) Guenther hasn’t looked that good. His U18 was an eye opener.
2) You can cheer for your guy without baselessly knocking another prospect.

What is a top 20 centre in people’s minds? Is it a guy who puts up 80 points?
Tavares puts up points but I would much rather have Reinhart and everything he does, especially in a playoff series (cue Colts “Playoffs?” Video)
The Drury comparison is pretty solid. Not a top offensive centre but a super important one for team success.

Drew Doughty exit interview recap
https://mayorsmanor.com/2021/05/drew-doughty-pushing-for-kings-changes-this-summer/
Doughty: “I demand we trade for a centre from the east and give up our top prospects and unprotected draft picks in return” Then I woke up😁

Seeing how Jack and Sam are leaving zero chance we dont draft him
Congratulations we drafted a poor mans couturier
Just one time I wish we would go with one player that has more potential its always "safe"
Either you are pushing a narrative or you just aren’t very good at evaluating talent. Just as long as we don’t draft Edvinsson or Guenther I will be good.

Frank Seravelli on WGR just said the view of Sam outside of Buffalo is that he is a leader. It is believed he is well liked in the room and has gotten better every year. Also mentioned there is a big disconnect between how Sam is perceived by local media in interviews and how he truly is behind closed doors.
Says Reinhart may see himself as part of the solution for Buffalo getting better.
Go to WGR and at the 9:14 ish mark of howard and jeremy you can find the audio.
Paul Hamilton dropped of a heart attack on the spot while listening to WGR during this interview.🤣

oh yea... might be added to team Canada*
He has been added to the team. Eklund, Power and Beniers will be there for their countries. Should be interesting to watch.

He’s Canadian, from the Toronto area.

Power, Clarke, Beniers would make me happy.
Eklund and Hughes would be “I guess”
Edvinsson and Guenther would be “F$&k My Life”

For people saying how badly they mishandled Jack’s injury, exactly how so? If Friedman’s story is correct and Jack is determined to get this alternative surgery which might mean he doesn’t play again how many of you would sign off on it?

Jack has a contract folks. He isn't playing anywhere else unless the Sabres agree to it. It would have to be an Eric Lindros type offer. That isn't happening. Next!
Sam is a RFA. His leverage is arbitration and a 1 year deal. Welcome back Sam. Hopefully someone makes an offer sheet.
The depth we want is already here. Granato's young forward groups was scoring over 3 goals a game without Jack. Scoring 250 goals plus puts a team in or very near a playoff spot with even reasonable defense and goaltending. In fact with Ullmark in net they played at a 102 pt pace during his games under Granato (and a 96 pt pace under RK).
Fix the front office, decide on a coach and then get a physical top 6 winger, a couple of good defensive defensemen and 2 decent to good goalies and we'll have a playoff contending team next season.
So then Eichel sits out the year citing his neck. Once his NTC kicks in, he demands he is only going to Boston. Hall return 2.0. Reinhart phones it in for a year and leaves as a UFA next off-season. Sounds great.

Then he shouldn't have signed him. He should have taken that money and found a top 6 RW and a goaltender upgrade for Hutton.
If he wanted to make a deal he should have made sure that the NMC was a limited NMC with at least 5 or more options. A real GM wouldn't have boxed himself that deep into a corner.
If you are pretending that Adams is making the moves on his own you are kidding yourself. Adams was told to sign Hall by the Pegulas and Ralph.

Back when everyone was talking about which vet coach to hire I said wait until the season ends because I thought this scenario could play out. Sabres players jumping of the team like rats off a sinking ship. Rebuild 2.0 incoming. Might as well keep Granato as he has the kids engaged.

Just now, nucci said:
because this has worked so well before.
Because what they have been doing has worked so well. If the players don’t want to be here what is your answer? Keep Risto and his awful game here to drag down the defence. Keep Reino for one year because he won’t sign and let him walk as a UFA for nothing. Let Eichel sulk and demand a trade when his No trade kicks in and get royally screwed. Please tell us more.

BLOW IT UP. All Eichel Reinhart and Risto know here is losing, not coming close to sniffing the playoffs. I really can’t blame them. The amount of coaches and front office mistakes they have been through with nothing to show for it and no light at the end of the tunnel. Absolutely nothing points to this team being a playoff team again.
It absolutely sucks but these guys are done with being here in a losing environment. Tear it down to the studs. Make SMART trades and gain as many high end assets as you can that fit the way you want this team built. Hope you hit on Wright or Bedard.

Maybe he hasn’t followed the team at all and states that he can’t wait to get back to Krueger’s system and playing on a line with Hall next season.😜

I wonder if players like Beniers and Power will get a look at the World Championships? They haven’t played in so long and all looks are crucial this season. Eklund will play for Sweden. I can’t see a ton of NHL guys being enthralled with the idea of going to the Worlds this season with the pandemic so maybe some kids get a chance to step in.

Speaking of Beniers
Basically once you hit round 3, everything starts to be about the same. Round 4 and on... trade down to your hearts content based on your board. It's a crap shoot.
Has Scouching released his Beniers video yet?

Honestly cant believe anyone would be happy with a player that wont get many points in the nhl
Buffalo needs to go Guenther or Eklund
Please sell us on Guenther. I just watched a mediocre player at the U18s. Where is all this offence coming from? He played nothing like a top pick. Was probably the 5th or 6th best draft eligible player on Canada. He is a passenger that needs help to produce offence. Just don’t see it at all with him.
Jack Eichel: Trade rumors and speculation

My thoughts:
1) with Eichel’s injury and this surgery it makes things very murky. It will not lead to full value in return into it is sorted out and he is deemed healthy.
2) the ONLY way you move Eichel to the East is if the offer BLOWS you away, meaning beyond what even the fans dream offers include.
3) there are teams in the West that make much more sense. L.A. And Anaheim as people have mentioned.
4) if he is indeed done in Buffalo then don’t rush this. Make sure he is healthy and maximize return. DO NOT settle for best offer if it is not up to snuff.
5) if L.A. Is interested, see about a package to maximize return: Eichel+ Risto and take Quick’s contract for a haul of Byfield, Turcotte, Thomas, multiple 1sts.
