Hope you’re right. The vibe I get from Adams and Donnie is that Anderson will be the starter opening night.

Tischke is the muscle. He’s fine as an AHL 6, IMO. And Laaksonen is serviceable as a 5. Think of them as Mike Weber and Jason Woolley. Priskie Clague and Davies should be legit top 4 AHL D. Sure they’ll lean to the O side, but they’re all potentially better both ways than Ethan Prow who was the #1 last year after Mule and Fitzy got called up, and will be the other guy in the top 4. If Pilut gets sent down, the D could be very good. Of course injuries will change that. I agree that a steady guy like Alt would be a good addition.

What I’m seeing as the pecking order right now, italics are guys on the bubble to be in the starting lineup Forward Thompson Tuch Skinner Olofsson Mittelstadt Cozens Okposo Girgensons Asplund Hinostroza Quinn Krebs Peterka Sheahan Bjork Malone Defence Dahlin Power Jokiharju Samuelsson Lyubushkin Bryson Pilut Fitzpatrick Priskie Davies Clague Goalie Anderson Comrie Luukkonnen Subban

Had not heard talk of that before. It would explain the injuries and their unwillingness to commit to him; they’ve made all-in self-improvers a clear priority. Be nice if last season was a wake-up call and the new culture is rubbing off. More games like that and I’ll be coming over to your side. He got better, but the first he was producing turnovers faster than Pilsbury

Yes, I clearly miscounted. Unless one of them surprises, your 8 cuts are the first wave of veteran call-ups. And that leave us with Pilut, Fitzpatrick and probably one of Krebs Peterka Quinn and Hinostroza sitting if we ever have a healthy 23-man roster. And undefeated in a Sabre uniform. Looking forward to watching him live in Victoria in a few weeks and on TV leading Canada to World junior gold this Christmas.

So who is still around? Quinn Peterka Krebs Sheehan Bjork Malone Clague Davies Priskie Pilot Subban UPL…? Six more cuts to go?

Quinn and Power are going to make our team better. So, in a different way, is Ilya Lyubushkin. Man is exactly like advertised. UPL not ready to accept Rochester. More please.

Olofsson makes it interesting with some weak clears there, but Tage unselfish to finish it.

Too bad. UPL has deserved the shutout Bit of a jailbreak that shift, tough to cover with the extra man.

He's improved every period I've watched him. Showing he can play with other good players.

Vinnie Hinostroza is not a JAG

Sweet hands by Savoie to get a shot off there. Good stop.

Terrific shift by Quinn there. Saw a lot of that in Rochester.

He's working hard, skating fast and getting to the right spaces, it's the possession struggles.

I gotta say I'd bet big money that Tage is more 15% shooter than 8% shooter. That was lethal.

O my god, what a bullet

Asplund has been doing a good job at centre. Right spot, hard on pucks. Power uses his reach and mobility to calmly shut down a 4-on-2

Krebs Cozens Victor is a thing on the PP. For his struggles with possession at ES, Peyton is good in that role.

Quinn shoulda had one there.

Owen Power looks like a veteran. Head always up, always engaged, always making plays.

Krebs showing why people are concerned

Noticed his passing was way off in those shifts i was able to watch.

Clague with the shift of his Sabre career UPL good down low there. It's usually a strong part of his game. Then another big stop!

It's back, but it is so far off the radio feed I don't have a clue where we are

Sabres twitter says they are aware of the issue and working on it
