it's hard to believe Buffalo is going to miss the playoffs after leading the league
yeah, but you'd think that a 10 game win streak would let them bank enough points to still compete for a wild card spot. Instead, their season is already over. Definitely a disappointing year if you're a Sabres fan, since they had hopeThat 10 game win streak was the luckiest win streak of all time. They won all of those games by 1 goal and had several OT wins. Despite that win streak, their goal differential was trash.
Hard to believe that Buffalo isn't even where the Leafs were 3 years ago (95 points and a wild card team).
He will be a hard trade, the oiler will want something good in return just in case he turns into a player, other teams won't want to give up much in case he continues to struggle and he only develops into a 3/4 line guy

But that’s the progress that supposed to happen. Not even we expected the team to get a WC spot when Matthews and the others played in their first season. I think the Sabres is on the right track now but I can see them overpaying Skinner this summer.yeah, but you'd think that a 10 game win streak would let them bank enough points to still compete for a wild card spot.

nah, Buffalo is not as good as they should be. I wonder where they'd be if they kept ROR rather than gave him away for nothing. they're still a legitimately bad team, and their roster has pretty much all of their good young players on it alreadyBut that’s the progress that supposed to happen.

Maybe a trade could happen, Zai, Marner, Kadri and Jake for McDavid at the draft.
That way, Oilers if they can resign Jake will have 2 top 4 dman, Marner who is as good as a playmaker as McDavid, and Kadri a very good 2c. Oilers will have a Drai-Marner topline with Kadri and RNH as the other 2cs along with Larsson, Nurse, Klefbom, Sekera, Zai and Jake as their Dman, another advantage is both Zai and Jake are very effective on the PP.
IF Dubas can pull this off, I don't care what happen till he leaves the Leafs, he is a legend in my book.
Then use the left over money to resign Kap and AJ while also using picks to trade for a top 4 Dman.
AJ-Matthews-Kap
Hyman-JT-Willie
Marleau-McDavid-Brown
Leafs Defense might take a hit if Dubas can't sign another Dman but I am okay with that.
I dont think Oilers know they added more money to their cap.
At this point, you have to think that McElhinney is one of those odd, rare goaltenders who just somehow become the best version of themselves in their 30's. He went from mediocre backup to great backup to doing great as a starter.
Why, he gets to play with Matthews, JT, Willie, Kap and othersWouldn’t McDavid then request a trade out of Toronto?
Watch as Tony DeAngelo needs only one punch to drop and bloody Kyle Okposo.

The fact that the Blues are in great shape and O’Reilly being a Leafs killer, I think that’s going to be a tough game.Blues win again, making it 9 in a row. 8 points behind Nashville with 3 games in hand
They play @ MIN tomorrow before our tilt on Tuesday, so it will be their 3rd game in 4 days (4th in 6)
