Just curious, do you think Bailey has higher upside than Baptiste? I keep switching back and forth between them. On another note BUF would look really good with either a solid 3C (if Reinhart stays on the wing), or another LW. Problem is any other trade we make creates another hole elsewhere.

Nobody want Gorges, give up the dream. He'll be a solid 7th defenseman anyway

I like both of them. Good speed, large bodies, willing to take a hit and give a hit, big goal makers in rochester, i.e. your energy players. But will they score in the NHL? If they can then the team is set at RW, if Nylander and Mittelstadt can also make the leap the LW is set as well. Here is hoping for the best.
