That was quick. Thanks guys. Awesome.

Awesome. Can't wait for the vid. Thanks Randall.

I was wondering when the Eichel updates would start rolling in. Can you elaborate Wildcard?

Tough break Bio, sorry to hear. Hard to look at it this way but atleast it wasn't structural. You can add a 0 to that price at the very minimum if you are getting into structure damage remediation. Hopefully this will do it once and for all.

Yep, Parkinsons. My grandfather has it pretty bad now. The anxiety he has all of the time is just so not like him. I'm not sure if it's the actual disease causing it or the countless medications he's on because of it. I feel your pain Shrader. Sorry to hear about your dad.

A line of him Eichel and Kane could be really fun.

CoHo.

Yep, Only waiting to find out what number he is going to wear. I hope this is right. I've been fooled once by the Gary Roberts name drop in the past.

Good stuff, thanx for posting.

Ya I would take that trade all day which means it's not enough (probably not nearly enough). I agree with Wildcard in that a guy like Pysyk would have to be involved. You can also probably throw in Buffalo's 2nd (or at min replace it with NYI 2nd). Imagine you are a Canes fan and you are dropping from the 5th pick to the 21st. I better be getting back more than a late second, a very promising but not blue chip prospect and a throw in. Also, I almost forgot we drafted Hurley. How's his development been? He was the youngest player in the 13 draft wasn't he?

Potentially miss out on some other candidates who are signed before then?

This is the wrong thread so this will be the only comment I have as I want the focus to be on the tourney and how Eichel performs. I'm very curious to see how McDavid plays in the OHL finals. The Gens are pretty stacked and are designed similar to an NHL team with the entire D-core (less Vande Somple) 6' or taller. They also play a very hard hitting and stingy defensive game. It will be interesting to see how McDavid handles the series. Can McDavid handle the big boys like 6'6 Mike McCarron, Hunter Smith and Josh Brown?

Unable to watch the game so these updates are good to read. Thanks guys. Plus I am too busy buying OHL championship tickets so I can booooo the out of Connor McJesus.

Give me a top 6 of: Kane - Eichel - Ennis Moulson - Reinart - Girgensons I know it's two rookie centres but these are the faces of the franchise moving forward. There's no real pressure to make the playoffs next year so why not spend the year breaking them both in? Look for improvement and then we're ready to start flying in 16/17?

Yes. I like it. Yep. I thought we were going to collapse at the end. I was wrong and now I'm going with the why not us attitude.

Well said Aud. And if I was at all competent with video editing, I would have a new montage with that as the background song.

Wasn't I suppose to be the woose? All year I was afraid the Sabres would blow it. Now I'm as confident as anything Eichel will be in the Blue and gold next season. We have a decade plus of watchable Sabres hockey. It's going to be one fun hell of a ride.

Well don't you start taking a wiz on my parade :P I'd say there is a 99% chance he is the Sabres pick and 95% chance he declares after having a sit down with TM and TP. I'm not letting those small percentages deter my enthusiasm. I'm also very pumped for Reinhart next year. :flirt:

We are getting Jack Mother Eichel!!!!!! We already have Sam Mother Reinhart!!!!!! Has it sunk it yet?!?! :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer:

That must be the case. Hockeybuzz (I know) discusses Eichel and Team USA and holy that is a roster. Eichel their #1 centre I presume?? http://www.hockeybuzz.com/blog/Michael-Pachla/USAs-Jack-Eichel-in-Prague-hittin-the-ice-with-the-big-boys/209/68301

I always cheer for the best Buffalo outcome and that TB/Det game is a toss up. Do I want TB to win and hope that opens up Babcock leaving the Wings or do I want Detroit to win and hope they beat Montreal next series to increase the Isles pick by one slot? Edit - I guess this should have went in the Round 1 thread. My bad.

After watching several Generals games live this playoffs I'm out on Vande Sompel.

:w00t: :w00t:

Here's an interesting mock by the Hockey Writers whom have Brazal going 4th overall to the Leafs and Hanifin dropping to 7th. http://thehockeywriters.com/2015-nhl-mock-draft-mcdavid-a-mcoiler/

No kidding, what do you get paid per click??
