My wife and I were watching the Hawks parade around with the cup and they mentioned how it's their 3rd in 6 years and my wife says 'that's not fair they've won it three times and your team has never won it.' I told her my team has been around for 44 seasons, even the laws of probability say we should have won it by now seeing as there's never been more than 30 teams in the league. She proceeded to laugh at me for 10 straight minutes. God I hope Eichel is the answer. I feel like we're getting closer. If/when that day finally rolls around it'll sure be something special.

Come on guys, if the majority of us could watch every Arizona Coyote game down the stretch then I'm sure some dude in Florida watching RoR a few times is plausible.

Two more weeks until the draft!! We all know who's going at 2 but if the Sabres stick with 21 who is the pick? I know Liger has also said it but I'm going with Jakub Zbroil. He's the big all around LHD that we are looking for. If Tim does manage to move up, I'm guessing he can reasonably get to 10-12 where he will either be targeting Timo Meier or Pavel Zacha. Both guys are big (Meier 6'1, Zacha 6'3) and both play very physical. Both project out to power wingers with a good offensive game. Zacha didn't have the numbers Meier had due to injury and suspension but both are power forwards with enough skill to be top 6 players (probably future top line wingers). As far as goaltending, I'm thinking Murray takes Felix Sandstrom in the middle rounds based on his interviews last week. Last week he really played up Samsonov around the 21 or 31 range. There's no way I'm taking what a GM says about a certain player (or position for that matter) at face value two weeks before the draft. It's clearly a #smokescreen. I love GMTM and love his interviews but if he is seriously tipping his hand two weeks before the draft then this really is amateur hour. No way he takes a Russian goalie (of all things) who refused to even show up for the NHL Combine held in Buffalo. Zero chance he is drafted by the Sabres. I bet he goes with 'just take a big Swedish goalie' approach he has followed in the past.

I don't think it would hurt to still send it. Shows you're still interested and really want to be employed there I think.

Nice. Sorry if I missed it but did you hear back on those jobs? As for me, going camping this weekend. First time the little guy is sleeping over in a tent. I bought him a sleeping bag for it and gave it to him last weekend. Hasn't been out of his sight all week and he's been pretty excited. Looks like the weather should hold up too.

Samsonov is wayyyyyy to risky for my blood.
-
I think that all depends on if Zach Werenski is there or not. He's expected to go right around there or a touch higher and I feel there's a pretty big drop between him and the next best D (probably Zboril/Roy/Kylington/Carlo).
-
Something like that. But let's be realistic, they would atleast include a side salad in the deal as well.
-
Agreed. I thought Liger was actually arguing and insulting himself until I looked closer. I must thank Wildcard for absolutely ensuring nobody would have an avatar similar to mine.

Nice write-up, thanks. I don't agree that they can ever afford to miss on picks (especially a first rounder in what's suppose to be a good draft). Having said that, I don't think they will miss. I'm kind of leaning on hoping they either keep the pick or trade up in the draft. Murray was brought in due to being a good talent evaluator. Can you imagine if he grabs us another late first / second round Perry or Getzlaf? Add that to this core and we are really rolling.

Back in the late 90's when we had the young threesome of Miller, Biron and Mika Noronen, I thought Noronen was going to be the long term answer in goal. -

Ya it was a fun run but I think it's run its course. -
I didn't want to bring it up because Godd seemed pleased to have coined the phrase disco Dan, but I've also read some articles referring him as that nickname. Just felt bad being the first to bring it up. Still a very good call man.
