What's the old saying about throwing stones in glass houses?

 

[Mathios]

We're getting svech, that's a given. The question is, who are we getting with our skinner pick?

If there is a "Skinner pick", I'm going to guess Kaut or Kuperi. Not because I know anything about any of those guys or anyone else in that range, just because they are the names that keep coming up by Canes HF fans.

I see GDT and I start liking every post. I can't help myself.

draft Svechnikov.

When does Pittsburgh's 2019 2nd rounder get on the clock?

 

[Novacane]

It feels like you starve for information 360 days a year and then get barraged by so much news you can’t even follow everything. Hopefully today is no different

 

[Wolfpuck]

Pick 1 and 2 are going to be the most uneventful picks. Sabres already have pictures of Jerseys with Dahlin's name on them in their store. Chip said Svechnikov was killing time yesterday afternoon at a hotel Starbucks with Dundon. #3 is where it gets interesting.

Collusion

Get that negativity out of here. Today is one of the few positive days in the last 9 years, so just enjoy it.

 

[Unsustainable]

Should we just go ahead and post that we took Svechnikov before last work on stealing our threads does it?

Halak, Ryder and 2nd for Svechnikov

 

[GoldiFox]

Could do worse than Anderson. Work him into a Karlsson deal and baby you got a stew goin.

Get them to take Darling, and I'm in.

Here's how my evening will evolve: wine, beer and free burp.

He’s 37, and had a .898sv% last year. I’d be hesitant to bring him in at his age + plus his 2 years at $4.75M. Though he was on a dumpster fire of a team last year, but had some really good seasons before last.

Ehhhhh he wasn’t much better than Darling this year and he’s 37. Sure, it’s Ottawa but he’s not the answer

 

[GoldiFox]

Absolutely not the long-term answer at 37. But could be a decent 1-2 year stopgap. All depends on the options out there. If I could, I’d trade Hanifin++ for Vasilevski or another surefire young #1G. At the end of the day the Canes need an option for next year that isn’t Darling/Ward. Anderson, Mrazek, Lehner, Hutton, etc. don’t sound fun but unfortunately those are largely the options. At least Anderson is cost controlled. I can’t stomach going Grubauer or any one of those UFAs a 3+ year deal.

 

[Canes]

Svechnikov really is going to be ours?!

 

[MinJaBen]

I'm expecting Bettman to troll everybody with a trade announcement before the 1st or 2nd pick that has nothing to do with that pick. I'll laugh hysterically if it is before the first pick and probably stop breathing if it is before the second.
