IMO it's nice to have some size on the "energy" line. Top 6 doesn't matter... their job is to generate offense, which no longer requires any type of physical presence.

fair deal

Dahlin and Power.... oooof

65gp, 22g, 18a, -7

define "prospect" Under 23yo Buffalo is top tier. If you only include the guys in Rochester or junior, then yeah it's good but not top 5.

I'll allow it.

You can never be too deep with prospects. All of them.

overpay for a trade friendly deal i suppose

immediate upgrade, but was curious to see what Savoie could produce in Rochester.

It depends on wether or not the players buy in to Lindy's coaching.

Nice. Levi will be better served playing big minutes in Roch vs backing up UPL.

I, for one, like the moves he's made so far. Love the move for Melanstyn. He provides everything this team is lacking. He'll be a fan favorite right out of the gate. Immediate upgrades to the bottom of the lineup. Still plenty of time to add before the season begins, I'm not concerned.

Solid signing

Can he win faceoffs, kill penalties and block shots?

do better do better do better do better

Love this! Had him as a primary trade target 🥰

IMO time will tell us this was overall a very weak draft. Seems like the vast majority of top picks have their fair share of warts. My expectation are low.

lol They tried the trade route... OReilly, Kane, Staal, Simmonds, Montour, etc... how'd that go?

Hellanus could wind up being a really good pick in the end.

someone tell me how to feel about his

I wouldn't do it, not in their current position. Now, if that guy was a missing piece for a Cup run, then of course.

I just don't want them to unload prospects for say a 3rd line center or 5th defenseman.

On talent alone he's a top 10 pick, reminds me so much of Kyle Connor. He's matured tremendously over the past 3 years, he's been a model teammate and citizen. I wouldn't be surpirsed to see him go top 15.

For the record, IMO it would be a huge mistake to unload prospects who they've spent years developing simply for a quick fix. They're not one or two players away from being a Cup contender. They need to continue to draft well and develop their own prospects. Don't throw the baby out with the bath water.
