Around the NHL 2015-16: Part VII - Campy McCamp Face Edition

Something around Yakupov/Pokka could be interesting.

Chiarelli supposedly has strong interest in McNeil

At 6 feet 5 inches and 235 pounds, Buffalo Sabres goaltender Robin Lehner is big even by National Hockey League standards, able to block much of the net by using his bulk. Yet he has noticed during the past several seasons that his counterparts tend to eclipse the net, too. “I know what all the goalies around the league look like with their pads on,” Lehner said. “Some of the small guys look the biggest.”

The reason - supersize and layered equipment. “A guy that’s 175 shouldn’t have a chest protector where he looks like he’s a 350-pound guy,” Lehner said. “I don’t think anyone should have pants underneath their pants. There’s goalies that have pants underneath their pants. That’s a fact. People in the league know it.”

Poor man's Nathan Horton. Always wanted him on the Sabres. 4C or RW.

Haha, enjoy your coaching career in TO, babs.

Mercurial one-way scoring wing for failed high floor supposed two way guy. Classic Chia.

Amazing that Yakupov's value is an ECHLer and a conditional 3rd

 

[hizzoner]

First Taylor Hall and now Yakupov. Can we get first dibs on McDavid?

 

[Samsonite23]

Man, A conditional 3rd. He is bad, but a 3rd?

Man, A conditional 3rd. He is bad, but a 3rd?

Absolutely no hockey IQ

More than I would be willing to give up.

Russell signing with Edmonton. One year, $3.1m.

So we are really going to roll with Justin Falk as our fourth LD?

A bit surprised St. Louis was the team that went for Yak. Hopefully he can turn things around a bit.

 

[CaseyMitts37]

The Blues now have both Yakupov and Paajarvi

James Wisniewski is still out there.

Tarasenko might be the right guy to get Yakupov going. Definitely worth the price paid IMO

Sergachev making the Habs... That one is going to hurt for awhile.

 

[is the answer jesus]

Sergachev making the Habs... That one is going to hurt for awhile.

He should have been our pick, and it's no slight to Nylander who I actually like a lot. He just would have filled a massive organizational need for us.

Right in the feels.

Ugh...that one and others too. Chychrun looking really nice so far, he might make the Coyotes lineup.

 

[Doug Prishpreed]

Totally. It's not a slight to Nylander to say we had both an positional need and an NHL-ready need that he doesn't fill. He might end up being the 'better' player in the long run, but only marginally if so.

 

[stokes84]

Gudas again. That is all.

 

[Taro Tsujimoto]

Gudas again. That is all.

And the DoPeS probably won't do anything about it, as usual.

 

[sabrebuild]

If Nylander can be ready to go as a legit top sixer in two years, he could be priceless elc star power.

Serg would be so useful.
