I'm going to keep beating the drum for Henrik Samuelsson. If they trade up again (back into the first round from the second) to get him, my head will explode.

In 2015, we'll have two decent centers, one great d-man, Enroth in goal, and what else? I am annoyed.

 

Sir, calm down. Draft isn't over yet, free agency hasn't begun yet. Still plenty of time to swing a current roster move.

What was our trade with GCY anyways I missed it.

 

CGY

 

Swapped firsts and gave up a 2nd this year

Derek Roy is so ridiculously expendable now. :D :clapping:

 

I was thinking the same thing. Any shot they can dump for another pick say for a goalie... Subban???

I wonder if the Sabres liked Girgensons over Faksa? It'll be interesting to see if Darcy tried to trade with Dallas first, or if Girgensons was the plan all along.

Did I just hear Bettman announcing a pick as "he'll break your face, he'll break your body..."? If not, whom did I hear? Who is that stupid?

Welp, we just took two of the first four centers in the NHL draft, including arguably the best in Grigorenko, both with top-15 picks. This will likely be one of the biggest draft days in Buffalo history.

 

I love the strategy of taking two big centers. Hedge your bets a bit. And, a big guy who doesn't pan out offensively can still play a checking role. We've all been bitching for years about how small this team is/was... we've all seen how the game turns into a war during the playoffs and bigger, tougher guys prevail... clearly T-Pegs gets it.

Semin? I kid I kid!

 

At the very least I'm sure Pegula will get him an interpreter to help him along.

 

sounds like TPegs won't need to get Grigs an interpreter.....

 

"While he initially didn't understand English, Grigorenko took classes five days a week with a Russian teacher and by the end of the season he was able to conduct interviews in English without the aid of a translator" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mikhail_Grigorenko)

I think it was Pierre who was describing him after the pick.

 

I hope so. I'm listening to GR, and the description was way off in the distance, at least in radio-world. And it really sounded like Bettman; crappy downstate accent and all.

I'm pretty certain Eleven wanted nothing to do with actually using draft picks. Wanted to trade them for current players.

 

You can be more than pretty certain. I guess the deals just weren't there, since other teams didn't make them, either.
