Wildcard is proud to select with the first overall pick in the SabreSpace Forum Super Draft, from the Tokyo Katanas, Taro Tsujimoto.

For some 3rd party lists, here's: Yahoo Fantasy Hockey Big Board from October 2014 NHL Fantasy Hockey Top 275 from September 2014 (top Sabre: Matt Moulson at #137, but it had Hodgson and Reinhart above Ennis) FantasyPros Rankings (composite rankings from Octoberish 2014 from 15 sources) I know it's not the same, and you'd probably have to separate the goalies from the skaters and weight it to your own liking.

Congratulations on overcoming your 90 day waiting period for user name changes, PA.

Jessie Pegula.

He's got to get good usage to be successful, but he also has to earn that opportunity. I'm hearing he's made good strides over the past year and he's been receptive to coaching. He's got a huge training camp in front of him. I think he has the ability to step up -enough that you don't risk him in waivers or in a throwaway trade- the only question left is if he's ready to take the next step.

Those are really good listens. Buccigross, right out of the gate:

This is old hat. Every year you monkeys have to hash this tired out. From today's article: From the article two years ago: From Ted Black in that same press conference: They operate the team like a business that's interested in self-preservation, not a charity money hole tax write off for the owner.

Yeah, it was introduced in '06, as the shoulder logo for the slugs. And it's still a valid/current logo for us, but I guess we just don't wear it on anything on-ice, as we haven't worn a shoulder logo since the slug.

Nice summary, Cereal.

By the way, if anyone needs to know how to beat this, I can post the technique. Extremely easy. No fraud involved.

Theoretically, the #18, #31, and #48 could get you close to the #6 pick. Maybe it'd be worth it if someone slipped out the top 3-5. Hanifin, Strome, Crouse, Marner, Provorov? Also of note, Edmonton's in a similar position. They hold the #1, #15/16 (from PIT), #33, another 2nd rounder (from MTL), 3rd rounder (from OTT), another 3rd rounder (from STL), no own 3rd, no own 4th. ###### could get wacky.

Congratulations on landing the new ad campaign for KY! Wait.

Well, a #18, a #31, and a #48 is nothing to sneeze at. The #18 and #31 could be a #9-#13 pick. Add the #48, and it could be a #7-11 pick. Maybe we get back some change in the form of a 3rd or 4th if it's 11 or lower, etc. You really want a guy if you trade up three-picks-for-one though; there can be some really good finds in that #31-48 area.

No that's a modern-era hat. With the alternate B with the sword down. And the reason the hat is grey? It's a Sabres beanie you could get for free in a case of Labatt Blue. He just has the Labatt logo in the back. Source: got that hat for free in a case of Blue, then murdered four people.

After reading the the wiki about twelve times, I see the error now. My wrong: I thought the draft order was first determined by which playoff round a team exits, then by the order they finished in the regular season league standings. EG, Pittsburgh lost in the first round, and is the lowest in the regular season league standings among losers in the first round, so they get the #15 pick. Then Winnipeg (#16), Ottawa (#17), possibly Detroit (#18?), then the Islanders (#18/19). Under this premise, the winner of Tampa/Detroit determines if Detroit picks higher than NYI. If Tampa loses, they still pick lower than NYI because their season record was better. The rest of the first round field would have been: Vancouver (#19/20), Nashville (#20/21), possibly Tampa (#21?), St Louis (#22) But that's not right. It's actually finishes by playoff round only for division winners and higher (and then by regular season standing), leaving the #15-26 pick to be determined among the division non-winners (division losers?) by solely regular season standing - not just the #15-22 picks. In simpler terms, a team can win a series, but if they don't win the division, they still get sorted among all losers by regular season points. Or in different terms again: all first and second round losers get lumped together for draft order. Thanks for tipping me off that I'm full of . It also means that when we control other teams' picks, we should generally be rooting for the underdogs in the first two series to improve draft order, unless we own said underdog pick. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pele5vptVgc I still like our draft position and our versatility.

edit: Pardon the derp; also see below. So both the Blues and the Islanders get bounced in the first round, which, among playoff expectations, has maximized our draft assets. So we got that going for us, which is nice. Islanders will be the #18 pick if Detroit beats Tampa, #19 if Detroit loses to Tampa. St Louis will be the #22 pick regardless of outcome. The STL #22 pick will go to Winnipeg from the Kane trade. So we're realistically looking at: 1st round - #2 [Eichel] 1st round - #18/19 (from NYI, from Moulson-Vanek trade) 2nd round - #31 2nd round - #48/49 (from NYI, from Moulson-Vanek trade) 3rd round - none (sent to WSH in Halak-Neuvirth trade) 4th round - #92 5th round - #122 6th round - #152 7th round - #182 This is a really versatile position to be in. The Islanders' zany Vanek trade and their recent season-ending downfall have opened up some really interesting opportunities for us. A lot of other team's 2nd and 3rd rounders have been swapped, which could make for a very fluid market of trading up/down. We could trade up the #48/49 and the #31 into the #20-25 pick. We could trade down the #18/19 into the #25-30 pick and an upper/mid 2nd rounder. (I don't think we'd do this.) We could trade down the #31 pick into the #35-45 pick and a late 2nd or mid 3rd rounder. We could theoretically try to make a run at McDavid with the #2, #18, and a prospect/player. (I don't think we'd do this. I also don't think EDM's up for it- unless McDavid's agent has already unleashed holy terror.) There's a whole zoo of trades possible for anything from picks to elite players by packaging any of the #18/19, #31, or #48/49 picks with any of our players. We could simply select all of our players, end up with Eichel, a mid-1st, effectively a late 1st, a mid 2nd, and a handful of Rochester and goaltending prospects. It'd still end up being nothing short of a great draft.

Worked for me now.

Feel like there's something up with the poll operation. Because OP editted the poll, I had to delete my vote (no biggy), but now I get an error (despite checking the requisite three boxes or any number of boxes): Only one poll question is visible. Also, dem socks: Also the triple-triple stripes from '77-'78 aren't bad either.

Paging IKnowBiology.

He could claim it was an accident avoidance maneuver, as he only accelerated once the Camaro had pushed him outside the lines. Impossible to know the state of mind of the pickup truck or semi drivers.

Camaro's entirely at fault. Doesn't matter what the pickup truck does legally. Pickup truck wasn't going considerably slower than traffic, so he's not legally obligated to move right, especially if he has to accelerate to pass the semi. Camaro shows no patience, tries to cut off, then pass on the grass. Somewhat lucky no one ended up underneath the semi/trailer.
