Nygard is a forward, specifically a rw. He's 6'0.75" and 207lbs according to the combine.

Wahlberg might actually work

I'll be shocked if they make the pick.

Thought that was the Ristolainen pick?

I don't think the Sabres use pick 14 at the draft tonight.

What would it cost to trade for Ehlers? 14 would be in play I assume

Who is that? Ehlers in what Iafallo maybe?

We haven't made the playoffs in 13 years. We haven't won a playoff series since 2007. Yet you want us to worry about what might happen on our cap in 2025 with a couple of RFAs we could easily bridge for 3 years?

That is true, there is risk with Kadri but let me ask this. Would you rather have Coleman playing with Benson and Greenway OR would you rather have Kadri or Cozens playing with Benson and Greenway?

My darkhorse for pick 14 might be Michael Hage. He is a 6'1" center from the USHL who missed most of the previous year due to injury. If you go look at his stats, his half season split gets absurd. He put up almost 2.0ppg and basically all of his goals in the 2nd half of the season. He skates well and has fun playmaking. That said I think some of his game needs refinement which is why I left him off that other list. He looks like he needs about 2 years in college to really polish his game but all the underlying elements are there. I think once that occurs the pace and skill will really improve but again, this is a guy where you are betting on the upside and that the 2nd half of the season was the real season. This guy IMPO has really high yet untapped upside and I think where Sennecke gets all the love, Hage flew a bit under the radar as someone who had a glowup. 14 is probably a reach, but man if you want to gamble on upside, he's certainly got the underlying things you need and it really comes down to development. He'll be at Michigan next year so I have a bit of faith in him.

Wonder if you could get Calgary to retain even 1mil on that contract. 6mil for 5 years is just much more palatable from a salary standpoint. Would be very interested in seeing what they wanted because Calgary is going to rebuild.

Im sorry but this means nothing and bandwith of what? All the agents and everyone are in Vegas. Makes sending over the assistant to the associate GM to get a contract signed. Reading way too much into this.

Montreal and LA just made a worse trade to move in the draft. Buffalo dropped 3 spots and got pick 42. Kings got pick 57 to drop 5 spots and sure you can toss in pick 198th overall in there but that is the 7th round and basically irrelevant.

Not a shot at fanatics cuz they didnt do it but the Sabres blue jersey desperately needs some yellow in or around the shoulders/collar area to break it up. It is too bland.

Then Jost

Idk if Skinner has to be put on waivers cuz of the NMC... I suppose he does? If so, it aint happening today.
