The question with Carbonneau is translatability of his game. He has a tendency to stop scanning and go full McDavid where he plans to deke and skates through everyone. That does not work at the NHL level very often. He'll need to pick his spots better and use his passing and off puck game more. If he can, all those soft skills will be that much more useful.

Go home sportsnet, you're drunk "Heck, if Desnoyers and Martone wind up going 2-3, that would push Misa... to 4"

Except when Murray got here, he drafted like *****, his predecessor had drafted like *****, and so after he did that, there was literally nothing in the pipe. Versus now, we're the youngest team in the league, we have a list of talented players in the NHL, we have good prospect depth, and we aren't trading everything, just a few pieces. Besides, Murray traded for the booger sugar bros and captain nutjob. At least ror was a good deal.

That wasn't the trade. You may not think much of Docker but he's an NHL player.

Stop trying to blame fans for Adams incompetence.

#1 reason Kevyn keeps ppl around, likability. Because Kevyn isn't cut out for this job.

EXTRA EXTRA! Read all about it! Team with 14yr playoff drought wants immediate help! In other news, water is wet say scientists.

Wasn't necessarily advocating for it. I'm just unsure the cost.

Idk. The last trade like that was... 2008 I think. No idea the values involved. I can say the rumor mill says we could see a trade amongst the top 3. Islanders want Hagens, Sharks want Schaefer, and Hawks want Misa. Misa is probably NHL ready. If that's who you get.

Highly unlikely (he's there at 9) at this stage. I question his overall skill set but a 25g, 25a guy who hits everything isn't bad at all. Or he's gonna continue to improve his skills and he's actually a 35g, 45a wrecking ball. Or... he ends up a 3rd/4th line roll player with heavy hits.

Here's Carter Bears tracked data from EP.

I'd probably list the Sabres targets in no particular order as Martin, Mrtka, Smith, Bear, Carbonneau, O'Brien, Lakovic and McQueen. I think they'll shy away from Eklund and the rest of Hagens, Misa, Martone, Desnoyer, Frondell, Schaefer will be long gone.

Should look at Mrtka too. I don't love him but it's not unreasonable to take him at 9. My issue isn't him so much as I believe in most drafts I can get a tall defender with his offense in the teens or later most years. It's more about the value you're getting at 9. But again a 6'5" rhd is going to look very attractive to Buffalo.

Weird. The Vancouver Canucks GM and President of Hockey Ops did not come for the combine. They sent the director of scouting and AGM. I understand there's a lot of talk about them trading that 1st rounder but that's just lazy and you aren't doing due diligence.

His consolidated rank is 9th, his EP rank is 6th. If Terry gets enamored because Penn State it wouldn't surprise me, it's the type of lazy doopy thing he's capable of. For me, I'd hate only from the standpoint of having to wait for the Owen Power trade that would eventually follow in 2-4yrs. I think Smith has more jam than Power has even dreamed of.

Actually, the real question is would Jackson Smith end up better than Owen Power?

None. What are you doing with another LHD though? Carbonneau and Bear and two guys I would really love to see the Sabres get.

Martone to Chicago seems way too logical 1. Schaefer 2. Misa 3. Martone 4. ???? Martin? Hagens? Frondell? Other??

I started a thread. Idk if anyone cares much but maybe.
