The NHL Entry Draft came and went last week, but that didn’t stop the ol’ gunslinger GMJR with his 8 flip phones set to ring from wheelin’ and dealin’ as promised in an effort to add that little extra to his squad.\u00a0 He wasn’t able to get anything done at the draft, but nevertheless, he prevailed.<\/p>\n
You’ll recall this is the same team that won 2 of the last 3 Stanley Cups, falling to the eventual winners this past season.<\/p>\n
You’ll also recall this is a team that had one or two holes in the lineup that were amplified by the fact that over the last couple of offseasons, this group had approximately 3 total days off between seasons.<\/p>\n
With that in mind, Jim began his summer of retooling by shooting his first shot, dumping Conor Sheary and Matt Hunwick on the Buffalo Sabres, a team and city known for getting shit on, for a conditional 4th rounder in 2019.<\/p>\n
\nCondition on draft pick. If Sheary scores 20 goals or 40 pts or Buf trades Hunwick before the '19 draft, it flips to a 3rd round pick. https:\/\/t.co\/eqe1KYdf09<\/a><\/p>\n
