What draft is “projected” to be the better draft class? 2022 or 2023? Anyone know?

Well, since the thread title isn’t gonna give the info … On the first-round pick in the Sam Reinhart trade, there is lottery protection. If the pick ends up top 10 next year, the first-rounder moves to 2023 instead. And Goaltender Devon Levi

No … he’s done quite a bit more than that ….

It’s a good thing all this hot air bloviating rarely turns out to be 100% accurate. These kids often turn out better or worse than the definitive statements made by fans at the draft. Like every pick before, he’ll develop over the course of the next 3-5 years and look much different that he does at 18. Rinse and repeat.

Approved. He’s a nice grab there. It could’ve been a couple others… But, this is fine. Just hope he develops well.

Bingo. I knew it would be 6 mil. or more per. Now, who were the boneheads who thought he’d never get that much? Death, taxes, and dummy GM’s. Things you can count on in life 😂

So far Risto isn’t taking shots at Buffalo or the fan base. So no butt hurt feelings right? 😂 Seriously, I wish him well. He was a good soldier for many years.

Happy Birthday RJ!!!

Anything short of a bad sickness or terrible disease or personal tragedy, …. I will never have empathy for Milbury. Go pound sand fella!

Reminds me of a fan base 90 mins north of Buffalo….

If Cozens can develop into half of what Iginla was … that would delicious.

Thanks for digging that up from the basement. I’ll add to the OP when I get a chance 👍🏼

Hey Ullmark is a bona fide starter in the NHL! Durability is overrated. (If the NHL season was 50 games long and he played 32 of them)

If no team has received Eichel’s Medical reports …. If that’s supposed to be true …. Then it looks like no team is really that close to completing any kind of deal. if we are to believe the alleged reports.

Agree. This is soooo not a tank/purge of the 2020-2021 roster.

IMO … Chris Fowler was freakin horrific. And not because he took shots at sucky teams. His delivery, his jokes or witty comments were bad. He’s just terrible. God awful. I hope he never graces my tv again. I can’t believe ESPN looks at him and thinks “he’s great to have on the payroll”. Yikes!

This whole presentation is fluffy, lame, unnecessary and yet … not surprised.

Who is over rating? And what was the over rating exactly?

ANA would need to add..

I’d lock him up for 8 years, and bank on him developing more and getting better. I’d throw 6 - 6.5 per at him. The first 2-3 years would probably be an overpayment. but after that it should be a fair deal for both sides going forward.

For me it’s similar to losing Carrier. Nice player… Nice depth player… yeah Borgen has slightly more upside… But it’s in a similar neighborhood. For me at least. In other words a player that stung a little bit to lose. But that’s it. Who knows… If Seattle waives him he may be back.

Meh. Ok. So be it …

Couldn’t happen to a better team. You go Bruins! Awesome signing. Why stop at six? Give him more more more!

So the return of “Some fans hope someone says something of substance but are always disappointed they don’t” press events. AKA “ The rinse and repeat”
