The draft order is randomized. I believe you can log on to find out the order a half hour before the draft starts. A newbie, excellent....My odds of making the playoffs just went up. Bring that same karma over to this draft!!

Big draft tonight! I know it's only a Monday but you've got to have a beverage or 3 for the draft. What's everyone's drink of choice? I've got a six pack of Rolling Rock chilling in the bar fridge. This is my first year in a PPR league, certainly alters my draft board.

I loved what I heard of his improved skating and strength from development camp but do you really think he's ready for the top line? I don't.

Congrats man

See, where I struggle with Reinhart being a top two line player is who drops out of the top 6? In my view the only two potential players is moulson or girgensons. Moulson showed last season he is a train wreck without a legit centre. With one he is a potential 25 goal scorer so it would be a waste him playing with someone like Larson centring him on the third line. I don't like girgs dropping down for a couple of reasons. Firstly, he's proven to be good enough to be a second line player. Secondly, he's a man child and I would rather him out there watching Eichel back then putting the two rookies together. Also, having a vet like Gianta would do wonders for Reinhart. I must also say, it's nice talking hockey again! One more month to go!

I donno. It's tough judging McGinn stats because of all the injuries but at the time of the trade Colorado fans were chiming in that he's a decent goal scorer when he plays. Looks like he's averaged close to 20 goals a season when playing near 82 games the past few years. I thought Gionta still looked pretty good last year playing with crap players. I think it would be a mistake putting Reinhart on one of the top 2 lines this year. Playing on the third line you can really shelter his minutes and ease him into the pace of the game. Just my humble opinion obviously.

I'll say it again.....You son of a :censored: What establishment are you at because I'm gonna drive down there and......and......oh I've got nothing. Enjoy your weekend man and don't forget the Fantasy draft once you get back. I'll feel better once I kick your ass in the draft!
-
Agreed. I didn't even mean for it to be a knock on Larsson penciling him into the 4th line. I think Foligno also has a shot to move up if McGinn's back acts up early in the year or Reinhart isn't as strong or fast as he seemed to be in development camp. To me, this is a very deep forward group, albeit young that very much has playoff potential. The downfall could obviously be on the D and goaltending.
-
Based on my line combos I have him on the 4th line. Kane - ROR - Ennis Moulson - Eichel - Girgs McGinn - Reinhart - Gionta Foligno - Larsson - Deslaurier

Congrats Bio!

The Preds have a good Dcore but it concerns me he was a healthy scratch some during the playoffs last year. Still an upgrade over who our third pairing would be and we won't run into cap problems on a two year deal so I wouldn't mind it. If anything he will help the PP.

Not sure how it is in Nova Scotia but out in Ontario any permits that are filed are sent directly to the Municipal Property Assessment Corp and they have that info the next time they assess your property. I don't think it should be that big of a deal since you guys are moving but any projects you think you can get away with not having a permit is the way too go. But like you said, you get caught and there will be fines. I know I've taken a few chances and never been caught but they were all interior work so it was easier to get away with. As far as the government knows, my house is still a ###### hole, in similar condition to when I bought it 5 years ago and they had better assess it that way! What your describing isn't constricted to just Halifax my friend.

You son of a :censored:

My complaint today is the Canadian Dollar. Although it's a fantastic Friday event that I purchased my mini-pack tickets for the Sabres a few minutes ago. My $1,200 American bill is quickly going to show up as probably $1,600 plus on my visa......

Stumbled across this article by SI right after the trade comparing Myers and Bogo. It's pretty critical of Bogo's play. I may be biased but I thought he looked very good since joining the team near the deadline. http://www.si.com/nhl/2015/02/12/whos-better-tyler-myers-zach-bogosian-advanced-stats-comparison

Hahahhahaha, good find Aud.

Oh ya, all the credit goes to Wildcard. Only 43 more days! That's probably more accurate. When I saved the picture on my computer to input it as my avatar I labeled it 'Creepy Mexican dude'. But I could see it being middle eastern.
-
During one of the Sabres winning streaks last season I bet Wildcard that the Sabres would not end up DFL. If they did he would pick my avatar for the entire offseason. If the team didn't land McEichel I would pick his avatar for the offseason. Trust me, I didn't choose the creepy Hispanic avatar for fun haha.
-
Bahahahahhahaah :w00t: Well played good sir, well played.... I was a little boy going into that bet subscribing to the 'nothing good happens to Buffalo.' I've come out a man. I'm glad everything played out how it did. Hispanic creeper and all. How many more days until the season starts and I can change this damn thing??

Tank on boys tank on.... Wait, this isn't the 2014/2015 Sabres GDT!

I don't know. I don't live there and I think I enjoy it more than anywhere I've ever been. I go to Niagara wineries often, have been along the Prince Edward County wine trail and went to the wineries in Bordeaux, a few in Italy and Spain while vacationing out there a few years ago. I'm not going to pretend to have tried wine from everywhere on earth but in my view it compares very favorably to anywhere I've ever been. If the damn Canadian dollar weren't so terrible I'd be making another trip down there this summer.

Just a reminder the fantasy draft is only 6 days away. Draft is on Monday at 10pm. Get your research in now because I'm not messing around with a losing record this season!
-
My wife called him almost exactly that. Said it felt a lot like watching Johnny Depp in Fear and Loathing but with much worse acting....
-
Completely agree. Best wine in the world in that Region as far as I'm concerned.....

I think we should go top 11 or else I'm going to have to quickly pump out another 200 posts.
