Archives for June 2020

Chuck LaMattina out as executive VP of finance at Pegula Sports and Entertainment

‘LaMattina previously worked for the Sabres as corporate controller (1997-2000), director of business and administration (2004-11) and vice president of finance and business operations (2011-14). He also served as treasurer for the Buffalo Sabres Foundation and his latest position included the oversight of financial management and operations.’

After selection to Hall, Jarome Iginla says he understands Jack Eichel’s frustration

‘”But at a certain point, yeah, there is that pressure to take that next step as a team and you want it as a player. So I can see that frustration. I’ve read the articles (about Eichel) and that’s only natural and part of what we are as hockey players. We’re in a team sport, we want to be playing and winning and it’s our job to try to win.”‘

Sabres’ possible targets with the No. 8 pick in the NHL draft

‘Additionally, one of Perfetti’s assistant coaches with Saginaw, Jared Nightingale, is the brother of the Sabres’ newly-appointed assistant director of scouting, Jason Nightingale. NHL Central Scouting has Perfetti as this draft’s fifth-best North American skater and it’s possible he could be gone by the time the Sabres are on the clock.’

Sabres enter key offseason with playoff drought at nine years

‘However, there’s still plenty to work on. Secondary scoring, special teams, defensive composure in their own end and consistent goaltending all proved to be problems for the young Sabres.

Paul Hamilton: Sabres should trade first-round pick after another flawed NHL draft lottery

‘The No. 1 pick has to be in play for a trade. If you combine the pick with Ristolainen, you may be able to get that player to make your team quite a bit better. Buffalo can’t play next season with Marcus Johansson at center. He was not good and it wasn’t his fault. He was asked to play out of position because Botterill got enamored with his players and didn’t get that player last year.’

Why Sharks shouldn’t be ruled out if Sabres’ Jack Eichel demands trade

‘Factoring in both what Buffalo likely would demand as well as salaries, a Sharks’ potential trade package for Eichel might look something like: Burns, Ryan Merkley, Jonathan Dahlen and a future first-round pick — and even that might not be enough. Burns’ talent surely would be attractive to the Sabres, but he’s also 35 years old. Not to mention, he has a modified no-trade clause in his contract.’

Sabres will select eighth overall when the NHL draft is held in 2020

‘In a shocking turn of events, one of the eight teams that lose in the NHL’s play-in round will own the No. 1 overall pick. Placeholders were used for those spots and a second lottery will be held following the play-in round, which is expected to end sometime in August.’

Sabres’ GM Kevyn Adams should take a different approach by trading No. 8 pick

‘This team needs help. Especially down the middle. See what’s out there for a No. 2 center. You wonder if Brandon Montour can sweeten the pot. You don’t know who might be willing to deal until you put up that “For Sale” sign.’

Sabres move back one spot in NHL Draft Lottery, set to pick eighth

‘This is the eighth straight year the Sabres have a pick in the top eight.’

Sabres name Kenmore’s Jeremiah Crowe director of scouting

‘Crowe, a Kenmore native, spent the last three seasons as a pro scout with the Sabres. He joined them from the United States National Team Development Program, where he served as assistant director of player personnel and director of player personnel.’
