Buffalo Almost Traded Up for Max Domi

[pf8363]

The Blue Jackets have their own edition of our "Beyond Blue and Gold." I was watching this episode and noticed they showed trade negotiations between Darcy Regier and Jarmo Kekalainen at the 2013 Draft. If Domi fell to CBJ at pick 14, we were gonna trade 38 and 16 to move up for Domi. Unfortunately for us, he was picked at 12.

Yes but Domi's hot start makes it relevant again. I don't think anyone expected him to be THIS good.

Depends how good you think he is. I see the same 25g player that provides very little for your team outside of that, that I always have. He's going to be a good scoring winger in this league for a while but he's always been a complimentary player to me. If Hanzal has 40 assists in February I will give Domi some credit but until then he's always going to be a player that plays great when his teammates play great and plays poorly when his teammates play poorly. And after watching a decade of that in Buffalo it doesn't excite me.

That was mentioned in the Sabres video too. They had discussions about moving up from that pick, and discussions about moving back from it.

Domi was always number 2 on their list that year, behind ristolainen. In terms of realistic options

It could also be construed as being fortunate for us, as we ended up taking Zadorov who was later flipped for Ryan O'Reilly. I believe we're leaps and bounds better now and in the future due to ROR's presence on the team. He's much more valuable to our future success.

I did. I was all about him like I was Nylander. I even remember discussing both these players in our draft threads. Both kids are going to be elite. What he is doing is not unexpected from me at all. I even called Reinhart over Bennett and so far I think I'm right about that one too.

First One: Not at the moment. No.
Second One: I would if I wanted to win a cup
Third One: Not until he builds a coliseum as an arena so no.

Very fortunate, as without Zadorov we don't have the central piece to get ROR. Everyone knew Colorado wanted a LHD with big potential. I don't think we get the deal done if we had drafted Domi instead of Zadorov.

And now Buffalo has Connor Hurley too. So they have that going for them... which is nice.

I wasn't aware either, I'm glad he posted it.

Hurts more when your pick busts, but I think we'll be quite happy with RoR. Interesting none-the-less.

Not counting PHilly's reach, who else would you draft Domi in front of? Most have already establish themselves in the NHL or have more potential.

Horvat. I think that was a pretty lame pick by Vancouver.

 

[Djp]

I don't understand why buffalo wanted Domi. He didn't fit their new philosophical.

The team wanted to get bigger and the drafted Grigs snd Girgs who were not little. Earlier they drafted Zristo.

All Darcy was friends with the Phoenix GM so why not talk to him about trading?

I think the reason they wanted to trade up was there was a group of 4 they liked and after Domi got drafted they knew at least one of them would be there so font need to trade. Had 1 of these 4 went to Arizona then they look at trading up.

 

[BananaSquad]

Dont care. That pick was used to get ROR anyways
