And that is perfect. the farm will be empty

No first round picks plus also gave up their #2 & 4 prospects. Have Cowan & Danforth. Not a lot else.

 

[Kimota]

Devils beats the Jackets!

 

[Geecko]

Sending Allen to NJ was worth it if only for tonight.

 

[Andrei79]

NJ is going to get destroyed in the playoffs.

 

[Non Player Canadiens]

ew, soccer-like possession play in BOS-BUF overtime. BOS circled to voluntarily leave the zone 3 times in one minute

 

[Redux91]

Thanks Jersey!

 

[The Real Timo]

Buffalo in OT.

Need CGY to win a few games. Another 2 or 3 losses and they’ll be into the top 10

They've also played the fewest games in the league, though. They are 15th in the league by p% before their loss tonight gets added in

Calder my ass

...in his defense, Calgary is complete ass without him...like Bottom 5 Ass...

It's always funny to see Buffalo make a late-season surge when they're already essentially eliminated and move from picking top 3 to the 8-14 range. Almost every year.

From 2013-2020 they picked 8th overall four times and 7th one more.

I gotta say their moves last summer weren't even bad. Savoie for McLeod got panned but seems like they finally got ahead of the bust curve and got a solid middle sixer.

Watch them pick 8th again.

They're still in 4th overall position. They would have to make up 6 pts to draft 8th. That seems doubtful at this late stage.

Chicago, San Jose & Nashville have been the bottom 3 teams all year with Buffalo & Pittsburgh switching back and forth in #4 & #5 spot. It looked at one time Buffalo might pass Pens for good, but not anymore. Pens have won 4 in a row & have climbed into 8th spot.

Buffalo could probably pass Seattle & Philadelphia to end up 6th OA. They should stay where they are & try and draft Martone.

It's such a tease. They go on a hot run late, gives their fans false hope and makes everyone think they can make a big jump the next season and then next season rolls around and they look bottom 5 again. Gotta feel for Sabres fans, that playoff drought is nuts. Alex Auld was a Hab last time they made it. Hutson was 7 years old

Being offically eliminated with 14 games left is crazy:

Dude... The sharks are a bruuuuutal club. If they didn't have Celebreni, I feel like they don't win a single game this year.

It's wild to think that the sharks were once a power house. It'll take another 3-4 years before they are competitive.
