Eleven

If this happens, I will be fine with the pick.

Very well could be and I hope he is.

They're only one or two guys away from doing that. Not ten. And they might already be there.

Yes they are. That is immaterial. Again, how many of them can the team realistically use? I just rattled off ten young forwards. Normally only twelve start an NHL game. The post I responded to was, in turn, responding to my post suggesting that Benson makes Savoie (or any of the others) tradeable. Which now needs to happen because these guys are all blocking each other.

Certainly not. But How many of Quinn, Savoie, Kulich, Östlund, Rosen, Rousek, Weissbach, Kisakov, Peterka, and Benson can the team realistically use? It has nothing to do with size and everything to do with overstock.

So now I want to see where Musty goes, and then I'll probably call it a night. Wood can extend his hotel stay for a few days.

Or "tradeable," if you're correct.

I'm not going to crap on this kid. I'm going to root for him. But part of "thou shalt not block young talent" includes not putting the young talent behind blocks to begin with! Benson is behind about 10 other young guys. I suppose the Sabres can trade one or two of them now.

1:10 left and they're all still sitting down... Here they go. So no trade. So no Richards. Well, Taro, you've got your man, and the Sabres now have like fifty-eight young forwards.

Well, now I really want them to move to Quebec so we can hear Frenchy announcers call "But marque un but!"

They've been VERY good about ad breaks so far.

Yeah I edited

Michkov is the one with the KHL contract. EDIT: Now I see what you mean. Dunno.

It is if Putin "drafts" him next.

Now?

Can they trade the pick now?

Pat Verbeek has a future career as a prison warden in Maine if this GM thing doesn't work.

That is criminal.

Did I really just see an entire team of execs wearing grape-colored suits?

Because they're trying to annoy us.

This is where I miss Tim Murray. No speeches.

It is. They're honoring him with a really long, thin coffin or something.

Who is the man next to Bettman and is he ok?

It is pick 13...

Dahlin is THE leader, I don't care who is wearing the C.
