Fortsen said his Dad is 6'3" and his Mom is 5'10", so it's likely this kid grow another couple of inches

Moore would be my choice if available at 13. Fastest guy in draft

I sign korpisalo as our 1B goalie i trade Oloffson and our 2nd 2nd round pick for Tanev I trade UPL for a 3rd rounder BPA at #13 and at #39 (I think it’s 39). These draft picks are too far away to target positions. Somebody we don’t expect to fall will fall to #13 and #39. It always happens. kulich last year and JJ the year before are perfect examples.

Have never heard that about him. And with 1 year left on contract (I was corrected when I incorrectly said 2) he wouldn’t be all that expensive. He would help solve the PK problem and the lack of quality defensive defenseman

Tanev shoots right, has 2 years left on a very reasonable contract and is from Toronto. Analytics say he’s elite defensively only behind Macavoy in the entire NHL. He’d be perfect for Powers. He provides very little offensively but that is pretty irrelevant. Oloffson and a 2nd for Tanev is more than a fair offer (maybe too much). CGY needs wingers desperately.

If not Hanafin (who’s really only average in the d-zone) how about Tanev? He has a 10 team no trade but is ELITE defensively, which is exactly what we need. He is 33 but has 2 years left on a very reasonable contract

Something like Rosen, a 2023 2nd and a 2024 2nd May get it done. The 2024 might have to be a conditional 1st. he’d have to be willing to sign an extension with Buffalo, something like 6 years at $7m per. Calgary prob has to trade him as he’s in the final year of his contract and has told them he’s not resigning

Are we trading up in rd 1 to draft Michkov cuz I would be shocked if he lasted past pick 7 or 8?!

I think harts ceiling is very similar maybe below Levi’s. I would rather sign a UFA costing no assets and trade UPL for a mid round pick then pay significant assets for Hart. An extended Hellebuyck is a different story - I’d pay what it takes for him.

I think he can sign a korpisalo type that costs no assets other than $$. And the cap is no issue for at least a few years. Korpisalo would be an huge upgrade over UPL and Comrie and probably an upgrade over Levi is his stage of development. Granted, if you sign him you have to trade UPL and probably hope Comrie clears waivers to Rochester.

Valid points

I don’t see Hart getting a mid first rounder for. An extended Connor H = yes ++ and also yes to the NAS goalie but no way to Hart

Bravo to Buffalo selling out the playoff games!! I remember watching the first championship in year one. My memory may be failing me but I think it was 9-9 or 10-10 with 30 Seconds left in regulation and Geary (I think) saved a breakaway against Philly for Buffalo. It went into OT, Philly didn’t score on the first possession then Tavares scored behind his back to win it. Not too proud to say I cried. My mom came by the tv and said, “why are you crying?” I said “we’re world indoor lacrosse champions.” She said ,”you’re messed up.” I said, “yes I am.” After seeing all other buffalo teams fail in pivotal moments, to see the Bandits win there, it was just crazy. I haven’t followed them as closely since then but will always be so thankful for that moment and Tavares’s incredible goal.

Plan the fkn parade!!!!

Down 2-1, the series is over already? Wow.

Sure looks like a USA CAD final

He’s not allowed to play in the AHL, so probably can t join them either

He won’t win but really should

Determined by pregame warmups, I take it

Good news if true - where was this reported?

Must suck living in such a negative state of mind. My condolences

Correct

Correct plus he said he was very impressed with the Sabres organization and gave no indicaction he wasn’t signing here. plus, if KA knew he wasn’t signing he would have traded him for a 2nd (the same comp he gets if he doesn’t sign)

Even though he’d be 3 years away from playing with the Sabres this would be excellent

You’re 100% right here. For a defensive dman, Joker is way to unreliable is his own zone. For whatever reason, Bryson and him have regressed this season (Bryson much more so than Joker though)
