Wait, they named the villain (Mr. Big's last name is Kananga) after the real-life pond owner/ stuntman? That is one awesome piece of trivia, if so!

He's just not very good. There's no reason to bring him back, unless he really likes being a black man in Cincinnati, which I understand is not fun. He might make a great coach someday, though.

Oh,ok. Maybe I read it wrong.

This mentality is what lead to the dearth of goalies in the first place.

Wow, I had NO idea of his troubles: http://www.hockeydraftcentral.com/1972/72002.html Someone shot at him!

Whoa--a @Knightrider sighting?!

Good, don't do it again.

GOALIE. The word you're looking for is "goalie." There is an NHL quality veteran on the team--Okposo, and depending on what you mean by "NHL quality," Girgensons. The most immediate problem is that there is not a goalie.

Probably the latter. Probably.

Karin Housley.

Shut up

Again. The youngest goalie prospect in the system is 23--if you even consider him to be a prospect. I don't, for reasons explained elsewhere. (Summary: UPL is either NHL-ready or not at this point.) They can trade for RHD prospects.

😞

At this point, I'd even take Kuemper. Again, Adams is winning the slow bicycle race while everyone else is in the velodrome. I want to be clear: I like some of Adams's moves. Maybe even most of them. But this repulsion towards acquiring NHL-ready goaltenders is maddening.

So do I...but a goalie pick after Round 1 isn't a waste of a pick, ever. Especially with this team that has no prospects in net.

He projects to be the next Yuri Khymylev.

That is info I didn't have; thank you. BY THE PADDLE OF ETHRON...

How? Maybe the Sabres scouts have something that the others don't. Maybe the others know something that the Sabres scouts don't. It's a SECOND round pick. How scary could it be?

Neither of these is a bad idea. Campbell will be tradeable when Levi arrives and Holtby at that range is not cost- or term-prohibitive.

There just HAS to be a trade down the line, right?

We here at SabreSpace DraftNet believe that he projects to be Duncan Keith.

Keep taking goalies in the second round forever, as far as I'm concerned. Can't have too many, because if there are too many, they fetch first-round picks in return.

Tyler Brennan off the board now. He compares to a young Mark Napier.
