Your scouting report on Compher is missing a year. He didn't have a good sophomore season. Still a solid prospect though.

Would like to see the Wild trade some veterans for picks. Mikko anyone?
Dickie Dunn

I ... uh .... ummmm .... ahhhh ...
Feels a bit like the Nino trade. They get impatient with guys who don't develop as fast as they want.

Should I like this O'Reilly trade? I know he's been talked about by Sabres fans and media seemingly forever, and that he's apparently very good from the analytics side, but only 17 goals this season? 9 less points than last year. What's the story here? Are one of these centers going to move to the wing?
Tasker!
I'm in Buffalo at the 716.
O'Reilly is a stud. His contract issues are a concern though.

At least they got decent return, for Nino they got a plug and a 3rd. woof
Yeah. Sabres have room and money though.

I don't think anyone in that deal will ever be close to as good as O'Reilly and Grigorenko sucks, but it's a decent pull for a guy they won't resign. Even though they should resign him if they're going to pay Soderberg that deal.
Love the Flyers draft
I'm not too upset to miss out on 21, 25, and 31 in this draft for Lehner, E.Kane, and O'Reilly.
So many prospects gone but oh well

Hopefully Roy can reboot Grigorenko career. He is 21 so there is still a shot and a change should help.
Word out of Denver is that O'Money wants 8M a year. And his Dad is likely to tell him to go full UFA. I think after 2 RFA deals where he played games and held out that the Avs said we have had enough. For nearly double what Soderberg cost the value is different IMO. They need to get Mac resigned and others like Barrie.

really weird draft for the Fly-guys. It has been soo long since they have made good decisions.
Still bummed Hextall had to let Berube go, but they need to keep him there for a long time. Give Berube one of those cush jobs in the front office

I don't see how the Sabres can make that deal without feeling very confident they can get O'Reilly signed to a new deal. I think his issues in Colorado were self-inflicted by management to some degree.
I think he's a little redundant with Girgensons but have no issues if Reinhart or someone else moves to the wing.
Sabres will have added E.Kane, Eichel, O.Reilly, McGinn, and Reinhart up front to go with Ennis, Girgensons, Moulson, Foligno, and Larsson. Pretty solid group I think with free agency still to come. Hopefully scoop up a Dman.

Once Strome went, I wanted one of the 2 Dmen but Hunter is a good evaluator if talent, and is very well known

Excited about Provorov. Added to an already promising stable of D prospects. Konecny is great value at 24 just minor concern about that dreaded C word.

Your guys are doing really nice things. I'm a few bourbons in but serious question(all things considered), any interest in a Grossmann or LSchenn as a sixth D?

Lots of talent on display in the crowd. Could use better camera coverage though and would be good utilization of PIP.
Konecny looked amazing in the top prospects game, but playing with McDavid and Meier helped a bit. I liked everything I saw from him. They trash his skating but that can be improved.

Who did your guys take in the first round Huge? Oh yeah, Perron.

@TheFourthPeriod: Phaneuf involved in Leafs/Kings discussions. Richards may be part of it going back. If so, Leafs expected to buy him out.

Please remove your headgear
Hell I worked all night and missed the draft.
Wings do any good? Svechnikov has some good write ups, not sure I've seen him play though (Russian juniors maybe?).

Now that I've had some time to dwell on it ...
Zboril was projected to go as high as 13 to the Kings, so the Bruins taking him there makes sense if they weren't going to move up for any of Hanifin, Provorov or Werenski. He might not be a top-pair type, but sounds like he'll be decent.
DeBrusk might have been a little bit of a reach at 14, but it sounds like he at least had first-round talent. With three picks, it doesn't necessarily hurt to go outside the box if you really like someone.
Senyshyn is the one that just doesn't make any sense. You can't tell me he wouldn't have been there with any of their (now) three second-rounders, when they could have had Connor, Barzal or even appeased some of the local furor by grabbing Colin White.
Interestingly, I read once critique ripping the B's for the three picks they got for Hamilton when the Isles got 16 and 33 for Reinhart. But driving home and listening to the NHL Network replay, they were all over Garth Snow for making that deal. So who knows what to believe right after the draft is over.
Here's hoping for something interesting Saturday. A lot of great players have come out of the second round or later (Bergeron, Lucic, Marchand just to name some by the B's), so there's quality to be had.
Don't get me wrong ... today was a step back for the Bruins franchise. Sadly, I don't think they had much of a choice given what they were up against cap-wise now and would be in the future. I only hope that Sweeney is putting them on the right course, but we won't know that for a while. Making the playoffs next season will be a challenge.
...
And for FUJB ... I think your Canes have got a stud in Hanifin. Really do.

NY Post is reporting that the Panthers have offered Jimmy Hayes as part of a deal for Talbot. He's a year away from RFA so the team wouldn't be able to sign him beyond that as currently constructed. That's not a big issue for me because who knows what the team will look like a year from now, and you could move him again if it isn't going to fit. I'd do it if it's the best deal, just wish he was more of a natural center so the two could play together.

There was more to it with losing Nino - The relationship turned sour... He hated Capuano, refused to come to camp and pushed hard for the trade....
Reinhart on the other hand looked like a mess in the playoffs, completely outplayed by another R... and the Isles got 2 1st round targets in a stacked draft.
I like it.

...which was the Isles doing for handling his development like ####. And it's not like you can't get return for a guy that wants out, happens all the time.

Virtually every hockey message board likes what the Isles did - except here of course.
I'd trade Reinhart for Barzal straight up. 2nd guy they got is just a bonus. Reinhart fell out of favor with the Isles - still have plenty of great D prospects.
Last year no one liked the Ho Sang pick - then he puts up 85 pts as an 18 year old.

I thought it was fine. Pretty fair deal, hard to say if it works out at this point.

Woah here's an interesting one:
NYR trades Carl Hagelin and 59th and 179th picks to ANA for Emerson Etem and 41st pick. Then NYR take Ryan Gropp with 41st pick.
