Re: NHL Draft discussion thread

I also dont like people that arent nice.

He doesnt strike me as nice.

I think he is just a very business centered person. He does not care about the show things like announcing a pick.
Belicheck is not nice.

Would you want him coaching the Bills?

Nice is overrated.

Re: NHL Draft discussion thread

no... I wouldn't want Belichick coaching any team I was associated with.

I value people and their commitment to an organization not because of their production, but because they deserve it... because of their commitment.

That's where I start.

Re: NHL Draft discussion thread

Get ready for next year when the Sabres are not drafting #1 overall after a very bad season.

The NHL and the steel industry have conspired against the City of Buffalo.

You forget one small detail: We own the Isles #1 pick in 2015. If the Isles REALLY bring....THE STINK!...and finish dead last next season...they're in prime position to get the #1 pick. Which comes to Buffalo.

Re: NHL Draft discussion thread

Reinhart will be a elite No.2 Centre if the Sabres get McDavid or Eichel or Barzal next year.. He wont be a elite No.1 but he can be a good No.1 Centre for the sabres someday

Re: NHL Draft discussion thread

Sabres have there choice of any goalie they want with the 31st pick or they should consider defensemen Roland Mckeown who would be good value projects to be a good No.5 defensemen

Speaking of goalies...there's at least a few that are available now:

Linus Soderstrom(Sweden): Good physical tools & size. One scout compared him to fellow goalies Mason MacDonald and Kaapo Kahkonen in size, style and ability to move around the net.

Alex Nedeljkovic(Plymouth/OHL): Backstopped the US to gold at the most recent U-18 tourney, despite not being part of the U.S. NTDP squad. Technical side of his game isn't strong, yet he's still able to makes saves when needed. One scout said if he was 2 inches taller(he clocks in at 6' even), he'd be a first rounder.

Mason MacDonald(Charlottetown/QMJHL): Tall, has a quick glove, and whatever issues he has are correctable.

Brent Moran(Niagara/OHL): Consistency is the key problem with Moran's game-some games he's a world-class goalie, and others he's capable of stinking out the joint. (He did have a good end to the season and had solid play in the IceDogs' short run in the playoffs.) However, keep in mind that Moran played quite a few games in the antiquated(and now no longer in service)Jack Gatecliff Arena, which has a ice surface 10 feet shorter than the standard hockey rink-and that makes it tougher to get a read on a goalie.

Interesting Demko isn't on that list.. Out of the 4 goalies you mentioned I like Mason MacDonald the best

That's what I was thinking.

Anybody have any thinking on Josh Ho-Sang? They've been talking about him on the radio the latter part of the week a lot.

Re: NHL Draft discussion thread

Jeez, that whole switch from NBC to the NHL network had me miss this pick. Looks like the Islanders are all in, gosh I hope they suck.

Wish Ho Sang had slipped into the 2nd Round would be very tempted to take him at 31.. Top 15 offensive talent he slid because of attitude problems

Brendan Lemieux
Roland McKeown

Lemieux has the name but if I'm taking a Winger, I'd prefer Spencer Watson, as he seems like a sniper who I think be great paired with Reinhart. Toss in one report I read compared him to Jeff Skinner which is something the Sabres could definately use.

Re: NHL Draft discussion thread

Sabres very active this am...
Murray trying to get a team to jump to 31..

Sure thing, Danny. Go get yourself another Labatt.
