After Eichel is selected, there is literally no reason to watch any more of the draft today...  Who'da'thunk'it

We also get Jamie McGinn in the deal as well

 

What do we know about McGinn?  Anything..  What is he, a forward I presume?

I have to believe there are more moves to come. We need another d and a rw

 

We have a whole team of centers now, so I have to think the plan is for one of them to slide over to Right Wing (maybe Gus?).

Ha! I do like em younger.

I am happy for you, like actually.  I really don't hate ROR and I don't mind the price we paid for him. His pricetag later maybe but for now I am content.

Well, you have time to prepare. His relative price tag is pretty clear.

Is McGinn any good?

 

He is a LW, had a decent 2013-2014 season scoring 19 goals...also scored 20 goals between the Sharks/Avalanche in 2011-2012...

 

Was hurt in 2012-2013 for half the season but got 11 goals...only played in 19 games last year...

 

Looks like he can be a 15-20 goal scorer if he stays healhty...

Buffalo overpaid..  But let's see how it works out.  All of a sudden, Buffalo is strong down the middle.  Does Reinhart even crack the lineup this year?

4th liner but he did score 19 goals, 19 assists 2 years ago.  Had back surgery last year but was still on pace for mid teen amount of goals before that.

Maybe not, if Grigorenko wasn't going to sign a 2-way deal and the Sabres weren't going to give him a 1-way deal and he would have just signed in the KHL...

 

Either way we got an established really good player that is backed up with really good advanced metrics for we don't really know what.

 

But like Time Murray says, you can only have 50 players under contract, and we have a lot of ammunition for trades, so using up a little extra to get a player you want isn't going to hurt that much...
