Moulson scored his 2nd shift in Buffalo tonight. Congrats Buffalo, good job on this one.

That Tyler Myers extension is looking equally, if nor more, brutal, and 10 years for Ehrhoff . . .

Pfft. Where was he on the rest of his shifts? Fail.

This one game has clearly proven my entire position was wrong. My mind is definitely changed now.

TSN had him ranked 49th in their top-50 NHL players ranking this year. Just looking at forwards he was 35th. And in ESPN's ranking this year they had him 31st. Neither list is perfect but that's probably about where he belongs.

Vanek's in a similar ballpark to Kessel - maybe a little less due to the age difference. He'll get, and deserve, a contract that comes with a cap at around $8M per ($8M+ on the open market, a little less if he stays with the Islanders - somewhere in the $7.5M-$8M range).
