It's being discussed in the Draft thread. Most won't be happy (me included) if Crouse goes 3rd overall.
-
Deslauriers with a better shot? Wow.

I agree that top 5 might be a touch lofty but I could easily see him in that 6-8 range. Sabres fans have been clamoring for a big guy who actually uses his size for the longest time. It's not like the guy can't score, he's put up some good numbers in the past (Ivan Halinka tourney jumps to mind). He's almost Zadorov's size with his ability/drive to hit and a higher ceiling but on the forward end of the ice. Mix that with his Girgs work ethic and he's a great power forward prospect. Below is a good write up on him. http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/juniors/frontenacs-lawson-crouse-turning-heads/

That's the highest I've seen Crouse and especially Rantanen. Well if you say he's over rated. Don't worry about how he looked great at the WJC or how many scouts who get paid to do this for a living feel he's firmly in the top 10. The point is he isn't 6'1 and plays to his size which makes him so unique.

Hey! This thread is a safe haven for shart supporters. You take your flawed logic elsewhere!
-
Soo loading up after big Generals trades last week and OHL trade deadline looming. Interested to see how Baily does with more talent around him.
-
The Oilers weren't tanking but McDavid is lauded as the next Crosby plus. He won't get traded. The only slightest chance that #1 overall gets traded is to the team who owns the #2 pick and even then it is very unlikely. As was said before, can you envision Buffalo trading the pick if we have it? Sure we haven't been as bad as the Oilers over the past five years but we've been far from adequate over that same period. Atleast the future is brighter here.

I love Reinhart. But I would trade pick 4, Myers and Reinhart to Edmonton for 1st overall in a heartbeat.
-
Sam is over a year older than Connor which makes a huge difference at this age. Also remember that McDavid was coming off of a long term injury which takes time to get up to speed (and as a result looked better as the tourney progressed). Having said that Reinhart was a top 2 or 3 player in the entire tournament and looked fantastic. We need him to add some strength and hopefully work on his skating a bit but man he can think is way through a game and come up big in the clutch.

Last two golden goals scored by Sabres prospects.
-
Reinhart put on display what the shart gets you in an average year, keep the drive going!!
-
He was really good.
-
I'm obviously biased but sam was the best. Took all the key face offs, pk, pp, lots of smart plays that don't show up on the score sheet but domi was much flashier.
-
Reinhart getting a top 3 award was a no brainer.
-
Yaaaaaaa baby!!!!! I cannot wait to see reinhart in buffalo! He's going to be a good one.
-
Wow what a game.
-
We've got a game again
-
That'll show up ok the score sheet. A point in every single game this tournament.
-
Big goal for canada!! Great move by reinhart. Won't show up on the score sheet but what a smart move to draw in the defender like that!
-
I can't wait to hear Reinhart's name announced after a goal once again tonight. I get giddy thinking how many times we're going to hear the PA guy announce his name in the ACC over the next decade......
-
I agree we wouldn't have to trade Myers. I just took exception to a thought another team would have a better young D core if we end up with Hannifan after the draft. I don't know if I want Hannifan at 3 or not. It all depends on if Marner can keep this pace the rest of the way and how Strome looks in the playoffs.
-
I don't even know Nashville's blue line but I would have to think Risto, Zad, Myers, Hannifan, Pysyk and McCabe would be the best young D corps in the league. I don't know how we would score goals but if defense still wins championships then..... I still hope we find our way into the top two of course.
-
True but he's putting up Patty Kane type numbers (better I think right now) and Kane isn't a big dude. If we pick in the top 5 we are going to get a very very good player.
-
Canada and Russia tonight for all of the marbles. Bring it Samson!!
-
Agree with you dudacek. Crouse is a guy you want on the ice come playoff time. He's not putting Derek Roy junior numbers but he's a very big body who skates well and throws the body around. His hands don't appear to be elite but the still look to be above average. His goal a couple of games ago was pretty nice. I wouldn't want him with our first (hopefully top 5) pick but I'd trade up to 10 or 12 if he lasts that far.
