Toronto will be getting some picks at the deadline, very smart what they're doing with these one year contracts.

First thing I thought when I read about the Mathias signing is 'well, he knows he's not finishing the season there'

They'll probably move guys like Kadri and Komarov too if they have good seasons and can get big returns.

Excellent hire. Thought he'd be better as head coach in Rochester but a refreshed Bylsma with Lambert could be really good for a young Sabres squad.

Yup and you can count on TSN, Sportsnet and friends to hype their garbage all season.

Still pissed off we passed on Bjorkstrand for Crisp.

......and local boy Duclair.

The Crisp pick is one of the most perplexing picks I can recall. His upside was a fourth liner. We reached on a guy who developed late who didn't even have huge upside. It's not like Vejdemo where we expect him to be a first/second liner if he pans out.

Wanted Duclair so bad. Also wanted Zykov over DLR. Ah well..

Jacob plays in the NHL, the french kid played in the Q

At the time of the draft, Bjorkstrand was buried on the third line of a very deep Portland team. But if you watched him play, you could tell he had good hockey sense and very good skills. Duclair at the time seemed like a "has all the tools, but no tool box" kind of player.

I guess the memo was moar size!!!!
At least McCarron and De la rose looks like potential NHLer.

I would have taken 100 players over Crisp. Some players that even went undrafted.

The Crisp pick was all about adding size, at the expense of ability to actually play hockey.

I'd rather have it that way. GMs don't care about TSN and the likes.

So it mean only TO fans will be disappointed when deals actually happen.

 

[Drunk World Order]

Crisp just turned 21...give the kid a chance...Sylvain Lefebrve is a horrible coach and young players will not develop under him. Our prospects are in trouble.

He was also injured last offseason. I'm sure he'll forever get the Eller/DSP treatment because of who we gave up on to get him. But I do get why people would be mad at passing up on Bjorkstrand.

Crisp has some underrated skill and is built like a truck. If he works on his skating, he could be a great bottom 6er but he'd have to leapfrog a lot of depth.

Yeah, his injury really was irrelevant.

We need more Reway's to play next to DD.

They have more power than you think.

2nd,4th + prospect for Winnik was a total hype job by the Toronto media. imo.

Yeah thats nice but I said I wanted Duclair over Crisp. In the 3rd round. Not DLR in the second.

Even though I think Duclair has higher upside than DLR as well.
