LOTCB Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Don't have much to add other then: Lets the Rasmus Dahlin era commence! And if the Sabres somehow do not take Rasmus or deal #1, I will personally fly to Buffalo and remove GM Jason Botterill from his office. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always love visiting the city, the fans there are super passionate and always very nice. They def deserve better than what ownership and their front office have done for them over the last(wow can't believe it) 10 years. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think the Sabres finally have the right GM (Wish they had Botterill when the tank first began) but we were all fooled by Tim Murray. As for the Devils, you have to be excited and encouraged by what you are seeing. Elite player in Taylor Hall, good cap space, a really good young core. Should be a fun ride for a Devils fan for the foreseeable future 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be glued to the TV. I didn't watch as much CHL as in past years so I don't know a whole lot about any of these guys but right now I'm hoping Ty Smith somehow falls to us. I wonder if we're going to be in for a bit a let down so far as big trades. There might be something of a Taylor Hall effect where GMs don't want to be perceived as being an overwhelming loser in a trade involving a big ticket item. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I considered that and therefore will pick up beer prior to the start of the draft to take the edge off if it's a dud Seriously though, yeah, it could always lack any movement like most trade deadline shows but the three I mentioned almost have to make a move don't they? Also with the cap going up, a lot of GM's have the flexibility to make moves that they didn't in previous years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a let down every year with trades. Because everyone speculates there will be a sh!tload of trades at the draft every year, and there never are.

I just feel that GMs like Bergevin and Chiarelli are going to be paralyzed by indecision. Yes, they need to trade certain things, but at the same time no one really needs what either of them are selling. Like Pacioretty's a good player, but no one who is gunning for a Cup run really needs him to do that. Same with the 10th pick which Edmonton is trying to unload. Plus it doesn't help that they've made extremely poor trades in recent past, and everyone will be trying to take advantage of the same thing. Anyway, would love Shero to trade Severson + for 10th overall if someone like Boqvist or Wahlstrom is still there. Especially if the idea is to pursue Carlson in free agency.

EdgeControl Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 I wouldn't be disappointed if we grab k miller.. haven't seen much but he seems to have a nice burst in his stride.. a bit of a gamble.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roomtemp Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 (edited) So... you think the Oilers are open for another trade? At the middle of the 1st you need to get the best skater no matter position especially you think the earliest you can expect a player from here is two seasons from now.

Neb00rs Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 There's gonna be some trades tonight, no doubt. Hopefully, the Devils are involved because it's going to be hard for us to take a step forward next year without getting very lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neb00rs Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Also, just about 15 years ago today the Rags selected Hugh Jessiman 12th overall. Here's hoping they select three more just like him in the first round tonight. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neb00rs Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Alright, c'mon you can't be booing with the Humboldt logo up on the screen, even if it's Bettman. I'm the last one to get offended usually but have some perspective. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lateralous Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 (edited) Honestly, the booing of bettman is getting a bit lame. I was at the draft in Philadelphia and it was just embarrassing i mean it’s one thing if he out there presenting the Conn Smythe to a bloated goalie we just torched in every game in our arena, but otherwise...
