If we have #2, it is possible. The difference between McDavid and Eichel is relatively small. I still believe the price would be hefty.

At #2 maybe, 3 it's not gonna happen. If we picked second I'd rather just keep it and take Eichel anyway.

Got stuck near the bottom of last page:

2. Sam Reinhart, centre, Kootenay Ice (WHL) – Reinhart comes into the draft with not near as much hype as Steven Stamkos in 2008 or Tavares in 2009, but the North Vancouver native does have the raw talent to follow their footsteps in becoming one of the top forwards in the NHL. He plays a smart and responsible two-way style while possessing the skill to have the ability to take control of a game. The 6-foot-1, 183-pounder, who scored 36 goals and 105 points in 60 games, is more of a playmaker, but his quick and hard wrist shot is as good as junior hockey has to offer.

Scout’s take: “I would disagree with anybody who would claim he doesn't have the potential to be a future franchise player,” says Ross MacLean, head scout of International Scouting Services. “I don’t think he’s the ultra-exciting offensive player that people tend to associate with branding someone as a franchise player. He does the little things well; he’s a well-rounded player who plays a very calculated and intelligent game. He is the kind of player that wins hockey games. Reinhart can do the things the likes of Patrice Bergeron, Jonathan Toews and Anze Kopitar can do and he can think the game at that level. He is not all flash and dash but as a base for a team, but he’s got everything you want to build a winner.”

Girgensons/Reinhart/Eichel ?



I can live with that.

and in case the 2nd time wasn't enough

mySQL Error in statement

Co-worker heard on fan 590 ? Myers and Hodge are gone draft day. He missed who said it and they wouldn't say to who or for what.

I think you have a very good idea....BUT we already have 800 defensemen thanks to darcy Regier.

For the record I would draft Bennett...Super fast and skilled...plays a great two way game...gritty just like Gilmour...Wears a cool number...What is not to like? Big deal he couldn't do a pull up lol, Gretzky said "When I was on the Oilers cup winning teams I couldn't do a pull up and had worst bench press on the entire team"

Talent with grit...I'd take that any day over BIG slow guys like Joe Thornton types.

What's your take on Girgensons?

Girgensons/Reinhart/Eichel ?



I can live with that.

Girgs will be center going forward from what he said the other day.

I think Hodgson is going to be on his way out. There's set to be a real log jam of forward prospects, and he'll soon be at the bottom of the totem pole in my eyes

Now we know what Darcy's vision was- build a legendary team of defenseman that play fill the entire roster!

How does this look for a legendary future group:

RoR - Ekblad

Risto - Zads

Pysyk - McCabe

Heard something like that on the drive home, I believe it was just a thought not an actual rumor, could be wrong though. Edit: response to cabins 590 post

At #2 maybe, 3 it's not gonna happen. If we picked second I'd rather just keep it and take Eichel anyway.
- Herzeleid

If we are at 3, I think we take Barzal. That's not a bad pick either, he would probably have gone #1 in past years. I agree on Eichel. Since the difference between CMD and Eichel is small, the Sabres should just take Eichel in that scenario.

He has shown some spark . but I want his talent with Girgs drive.

Buzz seems to be buzzing out
