Philly Flyers at Buffalo Sabres 12/22/17

[WildCard]

Kane - Eichel - Reinhart dominating tonight

[SwampD]

Can anyone honestly remember a shot from our D making it all the way to the net, let alone past the guys feet who challenges them. Our D is awful.

Kane - Eichel - Reinhart dominating tonight

Effort from the whole team has been there.

 

Botterill is going to have to draft for finish.

 

Or I guess there's Mittelstadt. Even he leans towards playmaker, but seems to be a natural finisher as well. We can hope.

Yup. Start with Bogosian.

You ain't kidding. I want the sexiest damn goal scorer in this draft. Don't give a damn about "hockey IQ" or any of the other buzzwords. Put that little sucker in the freaking net. That's it.

[darksabre]

Is this game worth turning on?

Eichel, Reinhart, O'Reilly, Okposo, Nylander, Grigorenko...it's been one playmaker after another. Kane is the exception but he is a volume scorer. We're looking back to the days of Vanek and Briere to find true natural finishing ability. Hell, even Kotalik knew what he was doing when in alone.

 

I want a sniper.

 

And Dmen who can hit the net. I done even want to draft another playmaker unless someone gets traded. Honestly, it makes the Nylander pick look even worse. Can't just go BPA.

I knew we should've signed him

If you value effort most of all, definitely a yes so far.

Like Nylander right?

[Thorner]

Like Nylander right?

Nylander's game is dishing the puck.

[inkman]

I knew we should've signed him

Thank God YOU knew

[ubkev]

Like Nylander right?

Was he billed as a scorer over a playmaker? I honestly don't know. I'd love to see the sabres score goals.

[Cityo'Rasmii]

now if that wasn't a bs penalty

[inkman]

Nylander's game is dishing the puck.

Idk he's had a 2:1 A to G ratio at every level, not sure what that means

[Thorner]

Playmaker. Like his brother. He was billed as having finishing ability, but not as his primary strength.

[PromoTheRobot]

We are masters at hitting the goalie.

[3putt]

Oops...turn down the on ice mic

[Thorner]

Idk he's had a 2:1 A to G ratio at every level, not sure what that means

A 2-1 assist to goal ratio is very common among top playmakers in the NHL. If you are doing that in junior, it's going to lean even more heavily towards playmaking at the pro level. At least from what I've seen.
