Not happy with the way Tallon is talking about the #1 pick. I hope he is just blowing smoke and posturing but I have a feeling Vancouver will trade up to #1 and take Reinhart 
Hell, I'd give Tallon #61 to swap spots, kind of like the trade with LA back in 08 we did switching one spot and writing the name of the player we wanted to draft... We give them #61 and #2, we get the prestige of getting the 3rd #1 pick in franchise history, we are able to draft Reinhart 1st overall, Florida still gets their guy in Ekblad along with a decent pick for pretty much nothing and everyone is happy.

Do you think he plays here if we draft him? Could make for a fun year, but I thought the consensus was that none of these prospects were completely ready besides maybe Ekblad.

I wouldn't play him. No sense in wasting a year off his ELC during a lost season or putting him such a negative situation. Let the kid tear up the WHL and bring him in when the team decides to head toward the light.

I'm most looking forward to who we draft at 2. Then I'll settle in and wait and see if Murray can get back into the round.....while likely doing other stuff.

Curious who we pick at 2, and then I'm expecting a trade either tomorrow or in the second round.

He will get at least the 9 game tryout and then a decision will have to be made. But I do not want them to already have their mind set before he even plays that he will be sent back right after the 9 game tryout. If whoever we draft at 2 comes in the first 9 games and is one of the best skaters on the Sabres then they need to keep them on the big club. I think Reinhart will be ready for the big show this upcoming year. He has been on Kootenay for 4 years now including 3 full seasons which were all ppg or near ppg seasons. He also is a late 95 so I think he is more ready then the other top prospects aside from maybe Ekblad. I mean if he was born less then 2 months before then he would have been eligible for last years draft.

Order of excitement:
-Drafting a potential franchise center
-Getting back into the first round
-Potentially dealing Ehrhoff, Stewart, or Stafford for good futures. Will be disappointed by dealing almost anyone else unless it's for a big overpayment (or, for some reason, someone wants to trade for our trash).
All of that could happen tomorrow! But even if just the first one does, no big deal. I'm still on the Brainfart for Reinhart train, although if #3 is available....

Obviously most excited about the player what we get at 2, but I'll be what happy with whoever we'll get. So I'm actually more looking forward to the potential trade back up into the 1st round because we could get a player we aren't expecting.
Since it's going on at the main prospects board, bold predictions?
-Dal Colle slides
-7 total trades
-record setting run on forwards happens
-two players ranked in the 40-50 range go in the first round
-Ehlers slides to nashville

hopefully they trade to a team that wants Ekblad, inside the top 5, then grab whoever is left with that pick.
really dont think they can go TOO wrong with picking any of the top 7 or so

People could give you guesses but the truth is no one has a clue. Any of Draisaitl, Sam B, or Ekblad.

thanks tips
You have a 3-sided coin?
If so, give it a flip and call it in the air.
I really wish I knew what they'd do if Reinhart was gone.
