I think its gonna be a madhouse

Thanks Labatt

I wish I lived closer, does anyone know when training camp opens or when that info is released. I'm making a trip to WNY for Bills v *Pats on 9/20 and I'm hoping to catch a Sabres practice or two then?

I bet Murray picks off Subban from Bruins for 51

Love it

Love it

This is gonna be huge if true

Essentially in this draft alone Murray already has Kane, Lehner and soon Eichel with their 3 1st round picks. Pretty good haul considering all 3 will play and contribute alot immediately.

I'll give Lehner a chance to prove GMTM right before overreacting. He's young and competitive and knows how to win, atleast in the American League where he was MVP of the finals. He could end up a stop gap while Peterson, Makarov and Ullmark et al develop. GMTM said he needed 3 goalies, he just got 1.

Just got back from vacation and picked up the dog from the sitters. Tipped an extra $5 a day and on the way out she snidely remarked "that won't cover the carpet cleaning" well you too bitch, I won't bring him back here then.

Yessssss, bring on a lower pick. See ya Isles

I think McCormick may end up retiring because of his health concerns? Also, Kaleta isn't under contract and might not be resigned. Looking at the remaining players, looks like they could use a little more grit.

Pegula gets the face of his USA hockey programs for years to come in Eichel!

I'm happy to have Eichel if that's how it plays out on draft day. He's American so he could end up leading USA to the gold someday. Eichel also is regarded as more of an elite power forward as opposwd to finesse and may hold up better in the playoff grind. In Eichel we trust. Question is what number does he pick? 9 is clearly taken by Kane, maybe 15 like under 18 USA a couple years ago?

I think TMGM will go after Lehner to play goal, with the emergence of Hammond and Anderson under contract he should be available. Either that or Jones from L.A. are my guesses.

Stupid in queefs

Nice play by Zadorov

the Queefs

Chucks a prick for that one. I think Jimmy should make HHM pay more up front for screwing him outta his case. It sucks that the season finale is neXT week already, I'm gonna jones for Saul to come back!

Smith

Yotes are always a threat to score on themselves

I thought he said there was a chance they let both walk because of their cap situation being what it is but that if they matched one it would be Toffoli because of Quick?

I love Zemgus, just see him as an important part of shutting down other teams top lines and he and O'Reilly would click well together offensively as well. I'm not saying it's all he can do but it might be his best fit on this team? This team being the one I projected with a solid top 6 already and a need for a shutdown line.

If GMTM turns around and deals Grigorenko (Roy still believes in him and spoke well of him a xouple days ago) and a D-man/late 1st for O'Reilly I could see a possible lineup looking something like this: Kane McDavid/Eichel Toffoli Moulson Reinhart Ennis Girgensons O'Reilly Foligno/Gionta Deslaurier Larsson Gionta/Hodgson McCormick/Hodgson Bogosian Gorges Ristolainen Zadorov/McCabe Pysyk Weber Ruhwedel Jones Johnson I'm not sure there's a spot for Gionta or Hodgson unless they fill in on the 3rd or 4th line which isn't really an ideal spot for Gionta?

I don't think Maloogas speculation about GMTM making offers for Toffoli and Martin Jones is too far fetched. Travis Yost was on with Schopp and the Bulldog not too long ago and suggested that it could happen and would likely cripple the Kings ability to match because of their salary cap situation. That would significantly upgrade the top 6 and goaltending and speed up the rebuild.
