2016 NHL Draft

[Hoss]

Awesome shot. Why the gold helmet? Everytime I see those jerseys like that I get nervous the NHL will end up that way

Top scorer gets the gold helmet.

[K-9]

Those jerseys are atrocious.

 

Almost as bad as the pants. They are dressed in NASCAR unis. That ever happens here, I'm done with fandom. 

 

GO SABRES!!!

I don't know if it'll ever get quite that bad, but I think jersey advertising is inevitable within our lifetime.

It's going to seriously make me reconsider pro leagues and just watching NCAA stuff. I can't do ads in the jerseys or the ice. I just can't

[Hoss]

Ads on the jerseys are such a minor deal to me now. I used to hate the idea but as long as they make strict rules on where they can be placed and match the color then I'm fine.

Those jerseys are atrocious.

 

 

Laine sheathed his saber at the end, Sabres will get Laine confirmed!

[Crusader1969]

Laine sheathed his saber at the end, Sabres will get Laine confirmed!

 

if Sabres get lucky and pick #2 again this year, I will gladly buy myself a Tappara jersey with Laine's name on it.

Any jersey for sale is without the ads, right? That would be a pretty solid jersey imo

There's that roster play D4rk was talking about in the trade speculation thread!

Hopefully he'll be able to do at least 1 pull-up

[Drunkard]

We'll need to send GoDD out there to inspect his clavicle and evaluate his muscle tone like he's a thoroughbred horse as well. Really get in there and smell his breath. Ask his Aunt Clara if he really wore the ugly sweaters she'd send him for xmas or if he just put it on for the picture for the xmas card.

Love it. Great omen indeed.

Was on WGR this AM and said this.

[Crusader1969]

The other thing he said is that pick 9 through 28 are almost interchangeable.

Laine with a Goal and Assist today to help Tappara defeat Assat 5-3;

 

His goal comes at 3:40 of the highlite package.

Anyone else see Ovi when watching him?

No way, he plays for HPK?? That was always the team jerseys I chose for NHL 15 online. It's fate

 

Edit: Nvm, he plays for Tappara

From the write-ups I have seen, I think this is very possible. I would be shocked if the Sabres fell out of the top 5. Laine and Chychrun are my top 2 and I would LOVE either one (assuming we don't gt #1)

[LGR4GM]

[WildCard]

Where are you with this draft, Liger? A Finn? Hoping for Matthews? Trade it for established NHL talent?.....Tank?  :ph34r:

[LGR4GM]

I think the word tank is being used wrong this season.

 

I would take a Finn or trade out of #1. For me the defenders are not wow in this draft. I think Laine has sniper skills but puljujarvi has a better 2 way game. I favor puljujarvi because of that.

I think everyone sans tin foil hats doesn't believe the Sabres intentionally tanked this season. Edited February 27, 2016 by inkman

[Hoss]

I think everyone sans tin foil hats doesn't believe the Sabres intentionally tabjed this season.

Well it's tough. It's not quite a tabjed but maybe a little bit?

This is pretty much the way I feel. The only thing different for me, is I want Laine. Mostly because this team needs a pure goal scorer. But I'd take either one.
