Two or less

His team is 8th in the league, in a 14 team league. Second best scoring team though. TOI won't really be that helpful either because majority of his time on ice has been on the PP. It's not like he's plugged on the 4th line like a Andrew Peters and plays limited minutes. They don't trust him on EV and use him on the PP and he still can't get points.

Yeah i get it. If you meant Jack, he still managed 7 goals and 14 assists in his first 60 NHL games. The best league in the world. Again, not saying we shouldve expected 7g,14a from Rosen, but i think more then 2 goals and 2 assists wasn't much of a ask imo. We'll see how he does in the lower division and again next season.

I liked the pick at the time, but it is rare for a player to be drafted in the first round and just be totally over matched in the SHL like Rosen has been. He has 2 goals and 3 assists in 50 SHL games. I'm not expecting Alexander Holtz or Elias Petterson type numbers, but i surely didn't think he'd return to the SHL after the draft and put up nothing.

I wonder if the Sabres will be after Strauss Mann after the Olympics? They must know him pretty well from being in Michigan so often last year for Portillo. Mann was an excellent goalie in college and has had a lot of success overseas in Sweden.

Agreed. The "team Europe" and young stars was such a corny gimmick.

Lance said teams will be looking to add depth to goalies more then usual to avoid some crazy covid issue, and Anderson has a house there and loves it there and Sabres could ship him there as a favor to him for being a good citizen teammate here.

Sabres go from literally having nobody to have a numbers game. Good problem to have. Seems all is good with Anderson and Tokarski after their starts, Houser and Dell will be in Rochester and Upi is expected to return after all-star break or soon there after. As mentioned by Lance of the Buffalo News, Anderson could be a candidate to be dealt to Florida.

Merry Christmas everyone. Wishing everyone a happy and healthy Christmas. Go Sabres!

I don't think they need to wait til the stadium opens up for them to sell the Sabres. I think what Elliott was referring to is them getting funds for the stadium. Once they get the funds agreed on, i think the time begins to click on their sale of the Sabres if they are serious about it.

McKenzie said Savoie is 5’9. I was going based on that. As for Cooley I like his style but only if we didn’t pick too high up and he’s slightly taller. Not the most ideal. I’ve listed several others I liked more. I don’t know too many legit top 6 C who are 5’9.

When did it blow up in our face? Also, another player i really like in this draft and i am not sure where he will go, maybe with our last first round pick or even second round is Jimmy Snuggerud. His father played for the Sabres, very smart player, fast, loves to shoot and play with pace and likes to play physical. Plays a game similar to Miles Wood.

No i don't, i mostly just read sportsnet, the athletic and hockeyprospect.com articles and podcast. It's crazy to say he's getting lucky with points though. He's destroying the league like nobody has ever at that age. No Barkov, not Laine, not Selanne or Kurri. I think the biggest issue with people liking him is if his scoring doesn't translate to the NHL, what else does he provide? I'm with you on Cooley as well though. Big fan. Savoie not so much mainly bc of his size.

My favorite prospect that fits the billing beside Wright in this draft is Joakim Kemell. A hard working, sniper scorer from Finland who cant stop scoring. Plays quick, excels in a transition game. Other then that, i see three players that seem like "Adams" type of players. Not sure where they will land, but might be a reach if the Sabres pick too high. But the players are Frank Nazar, a 2-way right winger, kills penalties, plays PP, high hockey IQ, a competitor. Will attend Michigan next year. Danila Yurov a Russian winger, plays a heavy game, good scorer, also a hard worker. And Jack Hughes, a center on Devon Levi's Northeastern. He's more mid-to-late first round type player, but a very smart player, does all the little things, 2-way center. Has 3 goals in 10 college games this season so far.

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
