I am a Montreal fan now just for Laine. I'm still in love with the man and his beautiful shot. Glad he is figuring it out in a Canadian market that is where he belongs. 50 goals next year no problem.

He's really a fantastic talent. It's been strange having a player that could have legitimately been first OA in some years. And Columbus just gave him away.

Maybe leave Cozens in Montreal?
I'll take Thompson first. Cozens is an absolute dog but has no hockey IQ and is likely a winger. Yeah he's an upgrade on some players we got, but I can't see him overtaking CC/Slaf/Demidov/Laine. Thompson on the other hand looks like someone who's checked out with the Sabres which is a common theme.

It was extremely savvy to buy low on Laine. He has a tool that no other player does. Just needed to get older and leave his teen angst behind. Along with Caufield and Hutson the offense is there. Just need that other thing starts with a D and ends with fence.

You need a dressing room with little turmoil. I think this team might be it. Knock on wood.

I don't think Buffalo wants more wingers or d-men so that's most of our young players and prospects.

Montreal
I'm curious to see how we fare against Detroit.
I'm sure there is still some butt hurt lingering from the spoiler role we played at the end of last season. :laugh:
