2nd end pick on a teensy? idk

How can anybody judge the draft this soon? That said, Mittlestadt will be a star seems like a great pick atm.

It's a sign of character.. what his values are. Like A. Matthews chasing the money in Europe instead of finishing high school so he could play college. Good on Casey M. for putting the sport he loves ahead of personal financial gain.

The "problem" with these young stud hockey players is their lower bodies are way more developed than their upper bodies. 80% of his body weight is below his waist, which makes pullups a difficult task.

correct. BP f'n A

But he didn't mention Nylander or Kane or Risto... ohhhhh nooooosssss!

yes! steal at 8

West coast trip 3 games in? odd. haven't seen them out here that early in the 20 years I've been out here.

How was NYI special teams?

Looks the same color as the lids in my house with myself and 2 boys.

All draughts are fluid.

The yellow horseshoe collar bothers me. Reminds of when the Bills had that horseshoe collar for a season before they smartly got rid of it.

Interspersed with the awards. A few players at a time. Some of the players (the one's they're going to keep) will be in attendance. I'll be scouring the strip for two overpriced Sabres tomorrow.

Notice the piping is gone from the old Preds jersey.

So all the assistants have officially been dismissed... Terry Murray, Bob Woods, and Tom Ward.

I'll allow it.

Vegas?

This is fun... a total crapshoot. The Knights will have a meet and greet with fans and players (picked in the expansion draft) on Friday afternoon before the NHL entry draft party at T-Mobile arena. I'll be in Vegas early Wed, I'll let you know if I spot any familiar faces on the strip.

They can only take one in the expansion "draft". But they could do a deal immediately after... they "pick" Carrier, then BUF trades them Moulson and a 2nd for Vegas' 3rd or something of lesser value. Based purely on ability, I wouldn't exactly hate the idea of keeping Bogo around. He'd provide good depth, albeit expensive depth. The issue with Bogo is that judging by his body language and the way he talks in interviews... he seems like one of those guys just happy to be in the league that Eichel was referring to. When talking about creating a winning culture off the ice, I think he's a guy that needs to go. Whether or not JBOT sees it that way, time will tell.

Same applies for the defense IMO. They don't have to get under the cap until closer to the start of the season. Taking higher priced guys like Johnson, Vatanen, Enstrom, etc.. would give them some trade ammunition. Of course, other teams knowning they need to unload some of these guys might weaken their position as well.

I'm surprised you had trouble reaching the floor, I went well over the cap.

Why does McPhee owe Buffalo a favor?

So Housley just snaps his fingers and the puck magically exists the zone?
