RD 1, Pick 8: Alex Nylander LW/RW

[qwksndmonster]

Not complaining. Just pointing out why there's less excitement this year vs. last. "It" didn't happen... yesterday.

Ah gotcha. I thought you were criticizing my lord and savior GMTM

I don't think I've ever criticized him. I'm a fan. The wins have to start coming sooner than later, though. He of all people knows that.

[Marvelo]

Buffalo has just gone through a historic two year non-goalscoring drought. I'm glad they're overloading on offense. I can't get enough offense at this point.

I'm kinda hoping our man in Sweden delivers a good scouting report on Nylander and Asplunge.

Literally laughed out loud. Well done.

I for one am down with Assplunder being part of the organization.

 

It is also a bit weird that the thread for the #8 overall pick is two pages shorter han the one for a trade of a 4/5 dman.

A lot of the Nylander discussion took place in the draft thread, I believe

Just more evidence expectations have turned the corner.

Also: Assplunder.

[Huckleberry]

He fell all the way to 16; maybe I'm wrong...

 

Surprised McAvoy and Bean went ahead of him.

HaHA!

If the Sabres passed on Nylander I guarantee it would come back to haunt them

[LGR4GM]

Seeing more highlights from him is fantastic, I really never paid him much attention because I was sure he'd be gone.

Having achieved a first round draft quartet over the last four years of Ristolainen, Reinhart, Eichel, and Nylander is quite something.

My friend who works for the Hawks said that was the general consensus among their table.  They also wanted Asplund and knew when the trade was announced that Buffalo jumped up to take him.
