Two or less

Only information given was maintenance day

Not even that, he can leave but why would he come here? If he leaves Carolina, the favorite will quickly become Seattle with Ron Francis in their front office having a connection to BrindAmour. Doubt Buffalo is even on the radar.

It was reported and we discussed it at length on here. This wasn't something that just came out now. https://ottawasun.com/sports/hockey/nhl/ottawa-senators/the-ottawa-senators-coaching-search-has-heated-up-in-the-last-week

He's very good and worth a first round pick. But not from the Sabres, way too risky to be trading picks which very easily could turn into being top 5 pick.

I thought i once read Rick lives in St. Catherines, so i think he's out.

What's so funny? They are. They have Taylor Hall on a one year deal and any more missed playoffs could put Eichel over the top to begin to demand a trade. Sabres gotta start winning and they know it. Hence, they're in "win now mode".

There hasn't been any official word but i think the target date now is Feb 1st.

Legit site?

This is just a bit too much, dont ya think? Also, how did Hanifan get himself involved in this? lol

On June 23rd he told us Sabres were gonna target Taylor Hall. fwiw lol

Yes

Ottawa Sun says we’re interested in Phillip Danault

Again, i like both players quite a bit. For me, the reason i have Lundell above Rossi was size, lack of high end speed and figuring Rossi played with Quinn, which, however, was not the case.

That's interesting. Taylor was on the bench with the Sabres until the end of the road trip in late November. November 25th at Tampa was his last game as assistant coach before returning to Rochester. So from the time he left Buffalo that was the last time Krueger talked to Taylor.

I did not know that, i assumed they played together a fair share. Thanks for that info. As for Lundell vs. Rossi. I think Lundell is one of, if not the smartest player in this draft. His international hockey resume is as good as it gets, and that's in tournaments against the best kids of that age group in the world. I think Lundell has a peak potential of a Patrice Bergeron. I like his shot, i like his defensive game, i think he's the total package and i think he's a very safe pick. He's a very mature player, dominates the middle of the ice, and has good pace that allows him to generate pressure on the forecheck. He's smart, big and knows how to play a sound defensive game, with a promising developing cannon of a shot. Also could project to be a net front presence on the PP bc of his size, strength and hand-eye coordination.

If i understand it right, Krueger will have a lot of saying going forward with roster building, and i'd suspect he will go heavy-Euro.

I've been really impressed with the Islanders these playoffs. They remind me of the Vegas Golden Knights in their first season when they just steamrolled through everybody playing a physical and heavy game and grinding down their opponents and then finishing teams off by their constant speed.

What rumor?

Any time i hear scouts talk about Holtz, they compare him to Filip Forsberg. So you're looking at a 50-60pt guy with the occasional good season with 30+ goals and nearing 70pts.

I do like Rossi, but what worries me most about him is he doesn't have elite speed and his size. How many centers in the NHL are successful with his size? Not many. Players who have success at his size on the wing like Johnny Gaudreau usually have elite speed. Also while he put up crazy numbers last season in the OHL, he also played with another top 15 pick in Jack Quinn.

? You've been a troll ever since i joined this web site so i don't expect anything less, but obviously with the team being trash for 9 years and hiring wrong people and fans having their conspiracy theories so anything they do will be criticized heavily. They did that to themselves. Even when the rumors floated around about John Chyuka joining the Sabres, there was a handful of people pointing out of all his bad moves with the Coyotes and arguing that he would be a popular hire but not a good hire. Point is, the only way all of this negativity will go away is if the Sabres break their drought and make the playoffs. Until then, every hire, every trade, every draft pick will be looked at under a microscope. I don't know, go ask him.

Because his resume has 19 years of hockey on it.

I don't have the numbers for Barkov but Lundell averaged 16 minutes a game. He also averages above 3 shots a game. Besides his defensive awareness and high hockey IQ, the other nice asset Lundell brings is he has a very nice shot. However, as it's been mentioned here, he is not a playmaker. He's a shooter first mentality type player. I like him more then Rossi.

I have a tough time believing he would drop past 4, let alone make it all the way to 8th.

Maybe he just didn't fit philosophically? Kreuger holds coaching seminars with all the coaches from Rochester and even Cincinnati and development coaches and maybe during one of his many talks with Adams he just mentioned all the things he disliked with Taylor?
