Christian Ehrhoff bought out; Signs with PIT, 1yr $4M
Derrico replied to Hoss's topic in The Aud Club
Those upset by the quality of our d next year I say this helps the tank. I know you can't put all faith in one young prospect but there are a couple potential franchise guys sitting at the top of the 2015 draft. This helps us get there after watching one more terrible season. Besides I like the attitude of Tim. If you don't want to be here then don't let the door hit your ass on the way out. -
I'm not ready to write this guy off. Tim's strength is in talent evaluation. I'll trust him until he gives us a reason not too. Button had him ranked 40th and I think iss had him like 25 for na skaters.
-
Love it
-
Loving this Lemieux interview.
-
Worried all day about van trading up to take him, so glad it played out this way.
-
This is true tank, I just mean if he's our numb 2 then we r legit cup hopefulls
-
Love this pick!!! We have our numb 2 centre and we get numb 1 next draft
-
HAHAHAHA yes!!!!!!!! Yes!!!!!! The tanking paid off
-
I'm also on the reinhart bandwagon but that interview with I think central scouting was very interesting. They said Bennett was ranked first on their list and sounded like it wasn't even really close. Interesting that they had him also ranked first on their midterm rankings and said it was a closer decision on the midterm ranking then what ended up as their final.
-
Agreed. It's not Zemgus point production that is having this fan base worked up.
-
Agreed. Very selfish attitude, takes a ton of dumb penalties. On ekblad, I'd take him at 2 if reinhart is gone at 1.
-
That just saved my bracket lol.
-
Upset brewing? Still the first half but Algeria up 1-0 over Belgium. I, like I'm sure many others though of Belgium as a great darkhorse to win this whole thing.

In my humble opinion I hope we keep all of our D and take a Sam at two and then trade 2 or all 3 of our seconds to move back up for another mid round first and take a forward. It takes D much longer to develop than F and by the sounds of things next draft should be absolute franchise changing. I want our D to be ready when we pick McDavid (or one/two of the other highly ranked forwards). This way I think we are atleast competitive come 2015/2016.
-
How'd he sound in the interview?
-
The Germans are coming!! The Germans are coming!!
-
What about if he's there at 31?
-
Absolutely. It hurts us short term for the lottery next draft and helps us in the long run. Plus we have a good amount of top 4 d hopefully coming up soon.

I'm heading to beautiful Nova Scotia tomorrow. I'm flying in with my wife and one year old (God I hope the little guy doesn't have a meltdown on the plane) to do some sight seeing from Saturday until Thursday and then have a conference in Halifax from Thurs evening until next Sunday. We've got plans to do some whale watching and will spend a couple of days on the Cabot Trail. My personal favourite items are a tour of Keiths Brewery as well as a tour of the Glenora Whisky Distillery. Should be good times with some great fresh seafood.
-
At first I wanted Reinhart but the more I read, I would be just as happy with Bennett. We will get a very good prospect at #2.

Who the ###### is ville pokka?? We've all seen how armia has transitioned to na hockey.

I understand the Isles don't want to give Buffalo a good player next year so it may change their thinking a bit into going for a win now approach. However I don't think it's in their best interest to trade the 5th overall. If the Isles do trade the pick they will not have a first rounder in this years draft or a first or second rounder in next years draft. That sounds like a horrendous idea for a team who does not appear to be on the cusp of serious contention. They shouldn't let that Vanek trade completely dictate their future. That's such a Darcy way of thinking. Just my 2 cents.
-
Picking 4 and 11 will still bring us one great and one very good player. Having said that mcdavid is the goal.
-
How many pages do we hit before the 2015 draft? I think we have a shot at well over 100.
-
I completely agree with nfreeman and plan on taking a drink every time someone mentions it. We're going to hear it 6 million times but it will not happen. If the Sabres end up picking 1 or 2 would you trade out of there?
