Unfortunately, outside of Axl Rose Foley, the Sabres aren’t going to pick anyone up. Even when this team was in its darkest hour (probably still are), they barely seem interested in taking a flyer on anyone.
Maybe he’ll get sent down and pull a Miro Satan and average a goal a game before they decide he’s good enough for the NHL.

I’m torn, my obvious pro Amerks bias aside, I’m not sure what’s best for the kid or the team. He could certainly use some seasoning in the AHL but he definitely is offensively gifted enough to be in the show. Will be interesting to see how it shakes out.
I really dislike how people have just assumed things in the absence of data. Sabres Twitter loves lighting them up but nothing one of them actually knows who has done what. Let alone what they can or can’t do.
That’s been my position all along. If you have a problem, bring it to the league. Airing dirty laundry is similar to what Lindy used to call “feel good” penalties.
