Nemec is always there at 9 no matter how many sims and I don’t think he’ll be there in real life. But I guess you never know.
i just hope KA goes bpa at every pick.-

My point is that we won’t get him for free in a year, because we won’t get him at all. He will be moved by then.
He won’t be moved if he doesn’t waive his NMC.

I’ve seen some mocks having Lambert all over the place. But I’d love to see what Granato could do with a player like him. Would be great if we were able to snag him at 16.

I just checked the LVGK page on hfboards. Lehner is out for a 2nd maintenance day. They are running their practises with their other goaltender and an "EBUG", which I presume stands for, "emergency back-up goalkeeper."
Welcome back!

What if Vegas misses the playoffs, wins the lottery, picks 5, and their draft pick becomes an unprotected 2023 1st... now that's something.
But would you rather say the 15th pick this year or Vegas 1st next year? Aren’t the assumptions that they pick will be worse next year as Vegas is just having a down year?

Ok. What is this?

I love Tage. Really do. But I worry he might regress a little next year.

might also be a test for VO. See what he does on the big line. If he can't score (a lot) there, they might want to move on from him or bring that up in negotiations.
Good point. But I like that they are trying new things out right now. Hope the guys that do have chemistry and play well with each other don’t lose it come next year.

I think this is mostly about getting Mitts going and seeing if he can elevate. The rest is just what's left.
This is what I think too. I think this is a big audition for Mitts and to see what they got in him moving forward.

The McAvoy part was great.
For those not listening, Duff and Biron asked him about his biggest regret at the draft table. Forton was a Sabres college scout during that draft who absolutely loved McAvoy, who the industry had pegged as a mid-1st player.
He implies the sabres weren't really considering him in the 5-10 range and he really regrets not pushing harder for him at 8. He also says the team lacked cross-league scouts to compare players in different leagues. He also implies that the current regime has made changes to the way it does its business in order to empower the local scouts to speak up and to better compare players at different levels.
He said he passed McAvoy on the concourse on draft day as he was heading up to the Bruins box and McAvoy said "Jerry, I really thought you guys were going to take me." Forton said he felt sick to his stomach.
Forton comes across well. Looking forward to his preview of the coming draft.
I’d like to know who was pounding the table for Nylander and if he still has a job….

Has anyone heard anything from Johnson? Is he talking at all? Any leads?

Last thing we want is this pick sliding into the top 10 and Vegas sending us their 1st next year.
Or maybe it won’t be that bad? Vegas could suck again next year. We already have two firsts this year. How is the crop of talent looking next year as opposed to this year?-

He could be the Sabres' Josh Allen.
No.

Only one first and we had to give up a 3rd?

Krebs has to be a part of this deal or I’ll be pretty disappointed.
The picks will be late which I don’t like. But I feel like we’re starting to draft better so maybe we’ll actually pull an NHL player out of at least one of those picks.

Well for one my source has been right all along and maintains the stance that nothing is close and Brisson is trying to stoke a bidding war through the media to get his client traded.
Sorry, but your source is wrong about that.

Let’s say this is real. Who would we want, Brisson or Coughlin?
Brisson. All day in my opinion. More upside. Plus his daddy is Jack’s (and a lot of other stars) agent. Might help to be on his daddies good side.

What does everyone think that it means to call this a framework?
This wasn’t a deal that was actually agreed to by both sides because (1) if a deal is actually agreed to by both sides, then it would be done, and (2) the money in the proposed deal doesn’t work for either team.
Because of that, I guess I just don’t know what this framework actually is.
Now, maybe Vegas and Sabres agreed to this as a possibility IF Vegas can find some other way to move salary and IF Buffalo can take on money from somewhere else. Those are somewhat big if’s though and even if the stars do align and the salary moves get done, who knows if one side or the other changes their mind by then.
Basically, it doesn’t actually look that close to me.
Actually I believe it can be agreed on by both sides (GM’s), but hit snags such as an owner who is hesitant.

Just constantly laughing at every "the deal is close except for (litany of crucial things that are not close)" comment from the insiders
“Insiders” have no idea what they are talking about.

Just giving everyone a heads up here in Vegas.
Krebs- going to be a solid playmaker with lots of energy, just don’t expect many goals.
Hague- His Skating has improved since being drafted but don’t expect him throwing his weight around. Has a booming shot when it hits the net. Solid player.
Theodore - Great skater with great offensive skills for a defenseman but needs more work in his own end.
Dugan - Still needs another year in the AHL plus needs to get faster. Needs to bring it shift after shift.
Rhonberg- Don’t know if this kid will ever be an everyday NHLer. Kid hustles but like most minor leaguers he doesn’t really stand out.
Great write up.
But from what I know, there’s a clear leader, and I don’t think it’s Vegas.

I’m “hearing” that there’s a standing offer to Holtby for 2 years.
