Guys that Baker thinks would be good targets. You can’t officially talk to them while they are in college but I’m sure “feelers” are sent out from teams to college FAs during the year.

Livingstone and Blankenburg would add a lot of RHD depth to the organization.

https://www.tsn.ca/insider-trading-chiarelli-to-interview-for-blackhawks-gm-position-1.1754651 Is there a bigger tire fire of an organization then the Hawks right now?😳

And 6’7 195 lbs is not an attractive package. He is not a giant punishing dman. He is gangly as can be.

Per Friedman, Botts was the other finalist for the Ducks GM job.😳

This is just an awful take. The kid is 18 and needs to put on 25 lbs as he matures before anyone knows what kind of player he will be. Can you tell us what kind of player he will be at 22 years old when the Sabres will be looking at him to contribute? People need to stop thinking a player is finished developing when he is drafted. For most, they are just starting to develop as their bodies go from boys to men. He was definitely a projection pick meaning they are projecting what kind of player he will be when he matures and puts on weight in 2-3 years. The biggest part of development is playing at a level that allows you to grow and succeed. This is a step in the right direction.

I just pictured the HR, PR and legal people just dying offstage and looking for an exit to sneak out of.

I will be absolutely shocked if Tuch isn’t named next Captain. Mike Rupp on NHL Network says he fully expects it to happen. I mean Tuch checks every single box Adams could possibly want in a Captain to set the culture in Buffalo.

This is going to be the wildest draft ever. These scouts haven’t got a good read on these kids the past 2 years because of all the stops and starts. Even these draft sites look like they each put the names in a blender.

https://www.google.ca/amp/s/www.cbssports.com/fantasy/hockey/news/golden-knights-max-pacioretty-joining-team-on-road-trip/amp/ Looks like Pacioretty is ready to return too. They have some heavy lifting to do hopefully Buffalo can help and gain assets in return.

I think Levi wants to turn pro and with Michigan under investigation Portillo might be best to sign too. UPL in Buffalo and Levi and Portillo in Rochester. A competition would be great. Biron Noronen Miller The Sequel!!😀

Looking at Vegas on CapFriendly it looks like 2 of Smith, Marchessault and Dadonov will have to go to make room. All 3 make around $5 million so 2 of them would clear enough space. Be cool if Vegas sends Smith to Buffalo for futures, Buffalo retains salary and moves him to the Rags for young assets (Gallant loves Smith) Or move 2 of them to Buffalo and they retain on both players and send them to contenders for assets.

https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/hockey/news/golden-knights-alec-martinez-skating-monday/ Martinez looks like he is almost ready. Adding Eichel and Martinez will be big but removing over 10 million from the roster is going to be costly. I wonder if Adams and Vegas have a back door deal where Vegas kept an asset in Eichel’s absence and then shipped that player to Buffalo when Eichel was ready.

We need to plant the rumour that Tawmy is planning on going into Canton as a Buc.😂

Giselle has officially ended Tawmy’s career. Wonder who will be QB in Tampa next season.

If anything it shows we really don’t know what we are talking about and should chill more on draft days.😁

https://www.tsn.ca/levi-s-improbable-journey-set-to-continue-at-olympics-an-underdog-his-whole-life-1.1752962 Awesome article. I love how his college and junior coaches aren’t “What an honour for him to just be considered for the team”. No they are “ I guarantee you 150% he will be the starter, best player and lead Canada to Gold”.

Off topic but it still blows my mind that Oklahoma St. had Thurman Thomas and Barry Sanders in the same running back room.

Did he have Covid? He is putting up points, just not goals.

I didn’t see the game last night. Was Dahlin allowed to play?

LOL I remember so many people were going to disown the Bills if they took Allen over Rosen. It was super heated. Same with people declaring the Sabres dead and buried when they chose Jack Quinn.

Mitts is like Santa. You get excited for him, he shows up and does cool stuff then you have to wait another year for it to happen again.😁

https://www.collegehockeynews.com/news/2022/01/29_Report-Michigan-Hockey-Program.php Maybe Portillo will be signing this year. Might be sanctions coming.

No wonder McKinnon is getting fake surgery. Scared of the matchup.😛

I am happy we have 1 of them and aren’t spinning our wheels looking for one year after year after year.
