Sign 19 more undrafted free agents from Sweden or Russia who will add "organizational depth".

This is worse than the Antipin signing. Waste of a contract IMO. There's a reason these guys we're not even drafted. Quantity does not equal quality. We need guys that can play big boy hockey, not undersized skill players.

Kings playoff games.

I think he gets moved. In his locker clean out interview he said that told himself "screw it, I'm just going to play my game" around mid-season. Sounds like a slight on Housley.

I think we all need to pump the brakes a bit on Dahlin. It's getting ridiculous.

Vegas fans are the worst. It's like they won the lottery on their first try and can't stop talking about I after you've lost your life savings on scratch-offs.

Here. we. go.

Dust. Another desperate overhyped move by a bumbling organization. How about you bring in some real life NHL players Mr. Botts. Enough of this throwing at the wall to see what sticks. Let's make a hockey trade for some real hockey players instead of hoping to catch lighting in a bottle.

Put VR cameras all around the arena, then sell virtual season tickets where fans can watch the game from anywhere like you're actually in the stands.

The time to move on was last off-season, but both Botterill and Housley ignored years of film and gave everyone a clean slate. Those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it, so here we are.

Bogo will play with Dahlin, and excel... for 13 games or so, before season ending LBI.

depends on how the team is playing at home that season

prospect camp

I'll make a prediction.

haha, hell yeah! I'll take one of these....

to get back off-topic.... I often wonder about guys like Elway, Marino, Kelly, Montana, Young, Favre... etc... if they had social media, what kind of stuff would've shown up in the media? Makes it difficult to pass judgement on kids these days just because there's a permanent record of the stupid they said as a young teenager.

let's get back on topic.... My breakout candidate (besides Dahlin's forehead) is Justin Bailey. IMO he graduates to full time NHL duty, putting up +20g in his first full campaign... seeing time besides Eichel and Mittlestadt.

I'd take him in Buffalo in a heartbeat.... perhaps with the emergence of Saros, his $7mil/yr price tag, and being 35 years old... they'll look move him. He has one year left at $7mil/yr.... I'd do a Bogo for Rinne deal. They would net $2mil in cap space next season and add a defender with only 2 years left on his deal. BUF rids themselves of Bogo's contract and gets a goaltender that could likely get them into a playoff position.... on a one year deal, which would be attractive to a playoff team at the deadline if BUF is out of playoff contention. That said, Rinne would probably rather retire than accept a trade to BUF.... hahaha. He does have a NTC/NMC.

His peewee team was forced to move him to D because he was scoring too much at F, other teams complained thinking that if they moved him back to D, he wouldn't score so much. It backfired because he played more as a defensemen and it's easier to rush the puck up ice from that position.

prospect camp should be fun

The Process tho...

Have you watched Dahlin play live in person?

This is good to hear. I really hope Ullmark finds success at the next level. Goalies are difficult to project. Even if Ullmark does well in Buffalo, I still think they need an experienced veteran to not only help him along, but be ready to take the reigns if required.

I'd be OK with a WSH or NSH Cup parade. Vegas and their spoiled fanbase... where's the suffering? If they do win Lord Stanley's Cup, the hockey God's will damn them for eternity. Tampa? em'

We live in a day and age where hyperbole in the media is the norm. It's become a contest between media outlets for clicks, and whoever has the most outrageous headline will garner the most visits (ad revenue). That said, we would all be wise to temper our expectations for Dahlin. The enjoyment will come if he exceeds expectations, not just meets them. However, I'm thrilled that we're even having this discussion.... we live in a universe (only 1 in 5) where BUF won the lottery. Let's enjoy it.
