Crusader1969 Posted September 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 (edited) Here is the play by Widle. I didnt bother to edit it to just the highlite - Unfortunately, it cuts the defensive play he makes out Scroll to 1:30 of the highlite package also, check out his goal around 2:20 Edited September 22, 2017 by Crusader1969 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

French Collection Posted October 4, 2017 Report Share Posted October 4, 2017 Think Dahlin can be projected #1 wire to wire? He's the guy that's been getting press for a couple of seasons now. I think he can do it because he's already played at his current level for more than a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drunkard Posted October 12, 2017 Report Share Posted October 12, 2017 So who's the consensus 4th best prospect? We'll obviously finish last and 3 teams leap frog us in the lottery or is Vegas guaranteed not to drop below 4 or something along those lines (I really can't remember). If that's the case who is the 5th best guy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's the case who is the 5th best guy? Top bracket seems to be Dahlin(cemented as the top guy) followed by Tkachuk, Boqvist and Svechnikov its believed that this is a deep draft and there should be really good players available for all lottery teams(1-15) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the info. Do you know if Vegas has any sort of guarantee not to drop below a certain spot on the board? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heard that they are those reminded of last years #1 pick when watching ZadinaSweet. Thanks for the info.

Heard that they a e reminded of last years #1 pick when watching Zadina I haven't heard that. Cool. I know they couldn't drop below a certain spot last year but wasn't sure about this year. I'll assume I made it up because a google search on my end didn't return anything and I'm sure you would have known about it if it were the case. So we have 4 studs and another quality Moosehead that we should be looking at if Housley isn't able to turn this show around. We'll see how it goes.

Thorny Posted October 12, 2017 Report Share Posted October 12, 2017 I'm hoping we are mid pack in lottery standings if we miss the playoffs. It's said to be a deep draft, and unless we get Dahlin, if we are enough of a tire fire to finish bottom 5 again, the pick won't matter. It'll be systematic of how unfit our current core is.

It'll be systematic of how unfit our current core is. isn't it the draft picks that will replace the rotten core? I was actually excited for the season opener this year, cheered when Kane opened the scoring. Its sad that I'm already looking forward to next season. Hopefully, we will see another 6-8 guys replaced by players whom are younger, faster, more skilled and hungrier. on that note, Svechnikov with another 2G 2A night. He now leads the OHL with 14 points http://ontariohockeyleague.com/video/oct-1217-er-5-bar-7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To supplement the current core, sure. But if we finish right around the bottom, it means our supposed core guys like ROR, Okposo, Reinhart, whoever aren't getting it done. Then we are looking at a lot more replacements and a lot more TIME. The most valuable resource on Earth. I'd be much happier scouting out guys in the 10-15 range that we hope can supplement our progressing core in a few years, than drafting at 1-5 and hoping that guy can fix what's left after another miserable season.

Crusader1969 Posted October 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2017 Rasmussen Dahlin with his 2nd goal in as many games https://mobile.twitter.com/cmoresport/status/919198340322963456 What's interesting here is he picks the top left corner, not just shooting it into the goalies crest as we've seen so far this year with the Sabres Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sabresparaavida Posted October 15, 2017 Report Share Posted October 15, 2017 So basically, the lottery winners get rookie nhlers next season, likely the rest get prospects? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
