JJP at 19 put up 80 pts in AHL 80 games last season including playoffs. Rosen has 21 in 40.
I think you're right that JJP will be a better player then Rosen but i don't think it's fair to show their AHL stats. As of January 1st, Rosen has 3 goals and at the same time last season JJP had 4. JJP just went off in the second half of the season and Rosen hasn't. Last years team was better this the current one. But Rosen was hurt last year and when he wasn't he didn't play all that much. JJP came to Rochester after playing in pro leagues in Austria and Germany.
Because of his thin frame, Rosen mostly plays the perimeter game.

Ullmark was with the Sabres for 6 years and his first season with Boston (last season) he was basically the same guy he was in Buffalo. This, his 8th season, is far and away his best. How long do you wait for a guy to develop?
I was watching a Bruins game on espn+ not too long ago, and they said when Ullmark arrived, the Bruins goalie coach watched film on him and then had a meeting with Ullmark, telling him if he fixes his rebound control he could potentially become one of the top goalies in the league because he liked a lot of the things he was doing, however, if he doesn't, he has no chance of surviving in Boston and will be nothing more then a journey man. The broadcast crew said Ullmark really took that to heart and worked his tail off and now in his second season the results speak for themselves.
Thought that was interesting. Sabres couldv'e done a better job developing him but also a lot of that relies on the player being willing to learn. Took a tough talk in Boston to really change his mindset.

what a pathetic effort tonight. The team is so careless with the puck and playing extremely poor in their defensive zone.

Capitals lose 6-3 to Florida.

I hate to agree with @Buffalonill, but if DG doesn't get this team to the playoffs this year or next, then he isn't that great a coach. He has done a great job with guys like Jost, Tnt, Skinner, and Dahlin, but we are still not a playoff team and we should be. Letdowns, as we had against Calgary and LA, are no longer acceptable.
How quickly people forget pre-Granato days.
It depends how far they miss out by. If they finish this season with 88 points and they finish next season with like 95 points but 4 points out i doubt they would fire him. A lot depends on roster still. They can run it back with UPL/Comrie and a defense that allows a ton of high quality chances and the fall guy will be him? Not finding better talent, getting a better goalie? Maybe replacing Marty Wilford as defensive coach?
Don't think Adams would panic.

Looks like Buffalo is not the only team getting snubbed by college prospects.
Pretty good RHD prospect here.
They were also snubbed years ago by Justin Schultz who signed as a free agent with Edmonton. That was a huge circus after he became a free agent.

The consensus board also had Östlund's teammates Lekkerimaki at 9 (drafted 15) and Ohgren at 17 (drafted 19), but Östlund has significantly outperformed them this season for Djurgardens.
And i think he's been playing at a point per game rate since returning from the WJC.

So that's potentially 12 NHL franchises with reduced contribution to "hockey related revenue," which is the determinant for the salary cap.
Greg Wyshynski was on WGR today and they talked about this. He said while it's a situation worth keeping track of and it could really negatively impact those teams, essp since some of them depend on that money to cover it's bottom line, but said as of now the NHL isn't really worried about it and they are not in panic mode yet. fwiw

Not sure if they plan on going with DiBiasi (who has been filling in during Hosi’s absences) is a long term plan but I love the kids content. Smart, intuitive, opinionated, and more aligned with younger fan takes.
Absolutely, he's excellent. It's refreshing listening. He's not one to be some kind of insider or newsbreaker, but he really knows how to find data and how it translates to the sport. I believe Jeremy thinks of himself as someone who also wants to be on the modern-thinking spectrum too, but doesn't always know how to get the data. Like when they talk hockey rumors, Joe quickly brings up zone entries, puck retrieval, possession and shooting % from high quality spots.

I will also miss him. Even prior to WGR, from Empire sports and WNSA. The sharpshooters was the best show imaginable with Mike Robitaille and Jim Kelley. My best memory of Howard however will be the time period when the Sabres were supposedly on the move. I was in college at the time and didn't have class til like 9 or 10am, but each day i'd wake up at 6am to listen to their show for any latest information. This was before social media as it is today, there was a lot of rumors, but he did a great job back then staying calm and informative and finding out the latest information. Felt like i went through those dark days in Sabres history with Howard.

Just gotta keep Zegras in check. That dude seems to feast on the Sabres.

Is it normal for players to announce this early that they are not signing?
Gives the Ducks a chance to flip him for something. Have to let the other team to talk to representatives to see if he will sign with another team before a deal.
Wonder if he'd change his mind if the Ducks win the lottery

As much as i dislike MSG for Sabres coverage, it seems like we're pretty lucky right now in terms of local broadcasts. This seems like a headache. I watch the nhl almost nightly on espn+ and i gotta say the bally sports broadcasts are by far the worst. Not surprised they are having issues because i assume their mlb and nba broadcasts are just as poor in quality.

FWIW I haven't seen a single Chicago message board discussing a potential McCabe trade. Just @Brawndo's tweet from the Meier thread.
Fwiw, i've seen McCabe mentioned several times with Toronto.

I don't agree with this at all. Danny Briere was 26 when he became Danny Briere.
Briere was a 32 goal scorer at 24.

The one thing that could have kept his job was fighting and he never fought this season not one single time.

I've been saying that he knows that the organization likes Levi better and he was never going to sign, after he decided to return to school. Let him walk.
Right, and even further on this, they are basically on the same career path. Next season, realistically, both of them are penciled in for the AHL. I don't think he wants to be stuck next year behind Levi in the AHL and on top of that have a 24-year old on a one way contract in already in Buffalo. Unless something drastic happens, the only way for Portillo to get a solid run of games next season in the Sabres organization would be in Cincinnati. And i doubt he cares much for that.

Have played them 3 times and have gotten demolished 3 times by a combined 17-7, including 5-1 earlier this year.
Not sure exactly why they have so much trouble with that team but they need a much better showing Tuesday if they want to win.
Losses were by 3,3 and 4 goals so it's not like one bad outcome caused a huge spike.
Last year when Seattle came to Buffalo it was when they were playing the worst hockey. Sabres lost 7 in a row that period and 13 out of 15.
But this Sabres team can compete against anyone i think.

Carter Hart played tonight and got lit up by the Leafs 6-2, so Samuel Ersson is expected to play tomorrow. He's actually won his last 3 starts, stopping 80 out of 86 shots in the 3 games.
Also, with this being that weird make up game (Tampa moved to Saturday in March and this moved from March to tomorrow) i would imagine tomorrow will be the smallest crowd of the season.

Surprised to come home to a box marked with a Sabres logo on my doorstep. Inside I found a nifty scarf with blue & gold crossed swords on one side and black & red Goatheads on the other. Also a Ryan Miller 30 commemorative plaque, and a black & red Goatheads pin. Anyone else get theirs?
Very cool. Got pics?

For those who attended: how was the crowd? It sure seemed loud and festive on TV.
I was there and yeah it was a great time. Very festive. What sucks for this team is they don't get to experience that too often and the game before the Christmas break (night 1 of the storm) was also going to be a sold out arena vs Tampa. If not for this massive storm we would've gotten this type of crowd back to back home games. Next one will probably be Ryan Miller night.

2023 trade speculation and rumors
in The Aud Club
Posted
NOT a rumor, but Lance wonders on twitter about Sam Lafferty, who it seemed like the Hawks were showcasing tonight by matching him up against the Matthews line all night. He's under contract for one more year, brings a lot of sandpaper to his game, and he was in Pitt when Karmanos was there. Interesting idea.
