Bro took my target


Leave some AGMs for the rest of us.

If you really want RAIFs mentorship, be my guest.

But I get him on Mondays and Thursdays to reminisce and joke around with one another

I know I know. That’s the main reason I wanted him. The guys I hired didn’t want to be agms any way. Just there for some input. Sorry.

Sabres ranked 25th for goalie prospects despite having UPL, Levi, and Portillo.
How does that work?

His model is silly from the sounds of it.

The model ranks small Goalies at a massive detriment and since Levi didnt play his D+1 year with Covid, the model completely discounts him.

The model also says Krebs will be a 3rd line F, which is also just ridiculous.

I think he relies far too heavily on a flawed model. He needs to either inject some common sense into the stuff he puts out there or tweak his model before it can be taken seriously. Being bullish on a model is fine if it’s right most of the time. Refusing to acknowledge flaws is just egotistical. You’re not gonna be the only one that’s correct when everyone else has an opposing opinion every single time. Like fr, Sanderson/Greig/Pinto/JBD/Thomson not being a top 10 group is unbelievable lol

Is it realistic that Brad Lambert will be available at 13?

Definitely. There's really no telling with him. Wouldn't be surprised to see him drop even further... Could be a Lysell type of situation.

If Nazar is gone by 13 (likely) than I want the isles to take Lambert. My take on him is that he needs to play with players that see the game in a similar way. I think his point production has a lot to do with his linemates.

Definitely an intriguing prospect, has a pin point shot. Need to get him signed to a contract by June 1st tho or will lose his rights.

Canucks are planning on signing him after Worlds. It will be really interesting to see how he turns out. Ideally, he becomes our 3C. If that happens then that would be amazing

I wonder which team will sign Ruslan Iskhakov (NYI 2018 2nd rd pick ). I believe the isles have his rights until June and I highly doubt they sign him. 5’8 , elite tools and IQ but the production isn’t anything special. A team who is good at developing forwards can maybe turn him into a solid middle 6 winger.

I strongly agree with that assessment. Not going to pretend that I'm some expert on him, but from what I've seen, it really looks like he's a driving force out there on the ice. He's a transition monster, seems to have great vision/creativity and is patient and talented enough to make the plays that he wants. If he's got linemates that can get read him and get themselves to opportune areas at the right times, which shouldn't be hard to find at the NHL level... watch out.

Could easily see him becoming an Ehlers type of player, which at 13 in this draft is a steal.

Edit: I do think there is some room for improvement with his shot, but even so.

If he improves his shot he can definitely be an Ehlers type. His skating/skills combo is incredible. I know there’s been questions about his IQ, but IMO he has elite vision it’s just that he tries to do too much because his linemates suck lol.

avs ranked 19th after graduating byram and newhook. also trading away barron and helleson. i think the avs should be lower.
