If we believe in our goalie prospects, go forward. There's only so many reps/games available for goalies. Take a flier in the 4th/5th on the goalie Rasmus Korhonen.

You called for a forward. You got him.

I see high skill. I'm good with it 

Me too.  He looks like he could be an exciting player, maybe like Caulfield on the Habs.

Unless a trade is coming, who cares about the stupid Hughes brothers. 

Some guy off camera shaking a Devils hat in front of the kid.  He just put the jersey on and you own his professional life.  I don’t think it’s that urgent he puts the team’s hat on.

GMKA could have traded down and still got Rosen IMHO

Yeah I'm not going to fuss about that - Its a lottery and if they wanted him more than the others I'm good with it.

Dallas and Detroit swapped picks. 15 to 23.

Who the hell is this?

150 pounds? 1 point in 22 games?

Tiny minutes this past season. But he goes to the net. He's 2-3 years away, but his instincts and game are in the right place. He's a JJ Peterka light. .... If we didn't have so many other needs, I'd like this more. But if he get to 185#, he could be really, really solid.

That's just it. If you've got a "sure thing" with Power, you take a flier risk on the 2nd first-rounder.

That home run Adams hit with the Risto trade just turned into a foul ball. 

I think you're overreacting. This isn't the 3rd OT in Game 6 of the 99 Cup Finals.

Detroit traded up to take a goalie. 

 

So this will be something to watch to watch in the future, who made the right pick at this point, Buffalo or Detroit 

Yzerman or Kevyn Adams. Hmmmmmmmmmm......

Stop burying teenagers because it wasn't the teenager you wanted.

 

This is definitely a big swing. You're betting on a ton of projection right here.

The pre draft presser they said it was all about how they rate the players PROJECTION longer term.  Adams and Co. must have really liked some specific projection (also character/compete which is high on their list for building culture).  We won't know for a few years.  I'm giving Adams the benefit of the doubt on this one until he proves me wrong.  Go Sabres!
