Now it sounds like both Miller and Ott are going to the blues.

I'd be happy to see that group win a cup. They deserve it.

Buffalo is going to have so many picks in the next few drafts, it's ridiculous.

 

[Cardiac Jerks]

Renaud Lavoie is saying Halak for Miller hahaha

 

[Buenos Necas]

Miller and Ott for Halak, Stewart, a 1st in 2015, prospect William Carrier, and a 3rd in 2016.

Nice haul for Buffalo. Gotta feel bad for Stewart going from a contender to BuffaLOL

St Louis has tried everything to get him going to no avail. He dug his own grave there.

 

[Novacane]

wowzers.

 

[Wolfpuck]

The Blues are going all in this season. I like their chances.

Really good return for the Sabres.

 

[RodTheBawd]

Seems like a win-win trade. St Louis has to be the favorite at this point.

 

[bleedgreen]

It'll be interesting to watch. Big deadline deals rarely work out, even when they make sense like this one.

 

[bb99]

That will make it so much easier to be a Miller fan now that he is out of Buff. Blues def going all in.

 

[Cardiac Jerks]

Buffalo also gets the 2014 first if the blues make the conference finals or Miller re-signs.

 

[cptjeff]

So can anybody give me a run down on this year's top prospects? I think this is about when we start discussing who we're gonna draft.

 

[Joe McGrath]

That Scrivens deal should be essentially what Anton gets. Same age, similar amount of NHL games, Scrivens with better numbers this year, Anton better numbers overall.

Chip with some updates:

Canes GM Jim Rutherford says Justin Faulk (upper-body injury) is likely out 10 days.

Rutherford said Faulk's injury is not a concussion.

Rutherford said discussions on new contract for Khudobin are underway but not sure if can be resolved by Wednesday trade deadline.

Rutherford said there have been many trade calls in past week from GMs but did not say which Canes players have drawn most interest.

 

[bb99]

Who would be interested in any of these bums?

Chip with some updates:

Shoulder or ribs, I guess. All the better for our draft position.

 

[Brock Anton]

nevermind

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

Shoulder or ribs, I guess. All the better for our draft position.

I still feel that he's had some sort of issues since before the Olympics that has kept him from being 100%. Total speculation on my part, but his play was worse right before the Olympics..then Blysma doesn't even put him in as an extra D against Slovenia, then looks sluggish when he's back.

Again...speculation as I have no inside knowledge so I could be way off.

 

[Swag Surf Aho]

Myself included, will greatly appreciate a rundown for prospects so far this year.

Of course, the top 3 including the two Sam's and Ekblad will almost immediately help our team would be nice, but there are a few Euros as well. Wouldn't mind landing Nylander, Drainsaitl, or Kapenen.

Is this going to be an annual thing though?!?

 

[MD]

Not a big fan of Nylander. I would prefer Dal Colle to anyone outside of the top 3.

 

[Moosetache]

Of course we are 7 points clear of the next team behind us....I can't wait for a late season run to pick up about 4-5 spots in the standings. This organ I zation is inept in every way possible.

 

[TheOllieC]

After Ekblad, Reinhart, and Bennett I'd like Dal Colle or Draisaitl the most.

That being said...

I already ordered my Kapanen jersey.

 

[What the Faulk]

DaveG's post is like literally 7 below this one.

I was reliving the cup run through watching the dvd the other night and I realized I don't even remember what it feels like to be in the playoffs. The suspense, excitement, being on the edge of your seat in an ot game, the sadness of losing a tight series. I've become some apathetic and just used to this team fizzling out and then looking forward to the draft. It's sad, really.
