All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
The 2nd to 5th best prospect in the 2016 draft are close in stature..once you get out of the Top 5 there is a significant dropoff.. If the Sabres aren't good eough to make the playoffs(and they are not) they really need to be picking in the top 5
This team now reminds me of the 90-91 Sabres team, before they traded Turgeon for Lafontaine... listen to this roster P.Turgeon 32G, D. Andreychuck 36G, D. Hawerchuck 31G, , A.Mogilny 30G, D.Audettte , R.Vaive, C.Ruutu, B.Hogue, U. Krupp, G. Ledyard, D. Bodger, D. Snuggerud, M. Ramsey, R. Ray, D.Shannon, K. Sutton, B.Houlder , C. Malarchuck, D. Puppa, D. Wakaluck (lost in the Division Semifinals in 6 games to Canadiens 4-2)
Chychrun is not a slam dunk No. 2 pick.... If GMTM had one of the "Big 3" wingers or all of them rated ahead of Chychrun he would have a tough choice.. But its never a good idea to take who you have rated 5th best with the 2nd overall pick
BTW defensively this canadian version at the world juniors is very so so.. And Chychrun was cut and wasn't able to make this team? Have to wonder if he isn't quite the prospect everyone in the hockey world thought he was and is a bit overrated

Team Canada doesn't take too many pre-draft guys.
Seguin, Monahan, Duchene, etc. have all missed it.

I will not be surprised if Tebow has more success than Peyton in the NFL.

I realize Team Canada can be very politicized in their selection process but Aaron Ekblad made Team Canada 2 years ago his draft year and got plenty of minutes and was the best defensemen for Canada... Better than guys who were 1 or 2 years older than him a few of them were top 10 picks.. Chychrun to me is not as good as Ekblad... I wish he had made team caanda though he probably would have played better than a few defensemen that Canada.. currently has playing... I think if mock drafts are being done next week Chychrun would be not the NO.2 pick on some of them like he was in the past

He's the slam dunk number 1 D-man taken. It really just depends on if people like Puljularvi or Tkachuk better, no way Chychrun lasts til pick 5. In fact I'd be shocked if two D aren't gone in the top 5.
Personally I think Puljujarvi has the potential to be the best player in this draft, although that won't come to fruition for a few more years as he's nowhere near NHL ready right now.
Buffalo's not tanking again, despite their lousy play of late. I think their trajectory is going to mirror that of Chicago's; it took them a few seasons to get some traction before they started winning Stanley Cups. When the draft comes up, I think they'll be in the 6-10 range in the first round.
End of discussion.
John Hemingway(facing certain death): I want to see Buffalo win the Super Bowl.
David Coltrane(threatening John): Nobody's going to live that long, pal.
