I-90 W

I think they're just getting rid of the silver; outline, two stripes and the pits. Nothing more. Cool with me don't have to replace my Reebok home jersey.

No offense but that's a lousy trade for us. We slide down from #8 to #25, and gain a center we don't need and play him at wing like Montreal does? Just doesn't seem like good asset management. We should think defense on a Kane trade.

I voted Matty Mo; partially wishful optimism also simply because they'll need a guy like him to get to the cap. Also there's that in law-ish connection so who knows.

I never liked the idea of historical names for divisions, geographical all the way. Historical names can confuse people and rekks of favortism, whether perceived or true. Something the league already has a problem with. I wouldn't want us to play Boston in the playoffs for the "Orr division". Would sting that much more when perceived calls go Boston's way etc

Hawaii is most likely on the radar next, lol.

I could be wrong but I think this season could be a fresh start for him under Housley.

Surprised about Ennis but other than that it looks good.

Given that it's Garth Snow I bet JB could get him to cough up #15 and DeHaan.

Already looking much better. Of course we can't assume that Guhle is a lock for next year though I think he will be. I'm really happy with JB so far. Can't give him credit for Antipin as he fell into his lap but this trade today is a steal. Between this and the Housley announcement we've had an awesome week this week, and things are only getting started.

Wouldn't the Sabres have to agree to Toronto getting a second team though?

Basically got a dman for free. Our d is already looking better and JB is just getting started.

A link based on common sense? Get over yourself this is a message board not TSN.

YES!!

Liljegren/ Makar are pretty safe choices. Liljegren being the safer of the two imo, and Makar being a possible Karrlson lite. Either way both seem like pretty slam dunk picks.

I'm nearly certain that we're drafting Makar/ Liljegren (if we keep the pick), whichever is available at 8.

I know it happened last year but what are the odds that 3 d go in the top 7? Not very often from a mathematical standpoint I don't think. 2012 was like all d but that doesn't happen very often.

True agreed. BPA at #8 will be GM discretion for sure.

This is true, he'd even be playing the guitar while scoring goals!

Drew Stafford could be a force if only given 1 year contracts every year ????

Then good. I'm obviously stating that the focus for #8 will be defense. If you or any other fan considers that player BPA then wonderful lol.

Me too. One of a very few trade proposals involving Sam that id actually do.

If we ever see P Kane in buffalo I think it will be in the twilight of his career. Awesome to think about but I don't see it happening. Though we still don't have a feel for how JB is going to structure this team.

I'm nearly positive that were drafting d at #8 not BPA.

Absolutely, nintendo is back in full force!
