Quinnipiac playing really well, starting to take play to Michigan. Portillo star of the game so far

Power causing havoc in first minute. Michigan up 1-0

Kisakov’s season ended earlier today finished the playoff with 0G and 7A in 6 games Should add - Novikov’s ended today as well. He played in today’s MHL game after Dynamo Moscow’s KHL team was eliminated. Scored a goal in his 1 game

OTTO SALIN RHD HIFK March 7 2004 5'11 192lbs Rankings Future Considerations 73 Bob Mckenzie 66 McKeens 65 Draft Prospects #62 The Puck Authority #65 U20 SM-sarja 11GP 4G 8A Offence minded Dman who plays in Finland. Represented them at the last Hlinka Gretzky Cup with 4points in 5 games Was injured during HIFK's Champions league game last fall and has played only a handful of games OFFENCE Dobber Prospects “Salin was great in the offensive zone and he got shots on goal from the point through the traffic. One good example of that was his goal, where he fired a great wrist shot from the blue line off the cycle. He loves to rush aggressively from the blue line and has the ability to create chances from there" Future Considerations “ He has good shooting skills from the blue line, and he isn't afraid of using them. Smooth-skating, modern puck-moving defenseman who is constantly looking ways to start or support offense" Finnish Junior Hockey " able to create offense by carrying the puck into the offensive zone. He is an offensive-minded defenseman and there was seldom a panic point in his game, as he stayed calm under pressure and made good, accurate passes on the breakout." DEFENCE Future Considerations “He showed good defensive instincts intercepting passes and defending own blue line against controlled entries. His defensive game still needs some maturing, and for him it will be very important to learn how to position his stick defensively, since his size probably won’t allow him to be a guy that is winning all the 1V1 battles near the blue paint" Dobber Prospects "doesn't control the gap very well off the rush and despite having a solid frame, he isn’t very strong. He did throw a couple of hits but other than that, his physical play isn't great", SKATING Dobber Prospects ”He can gain a lot of speed with crossovers and on puck retrievals, he accelerates quickly so he can carry the puck up the ice if necessary. Salin likes having the puck and he always wants it on his blade. He also supports the attack a lot, which can make him a bit vulnerable defensively" Future Considerations “smooth-skating, modern puck-moving defenseman who is constantly looking ways to start or support offense. His skating and hands are good and work well with his high hockey IQ which results as a really smooth and effortless looking plays" Was tough to find much information on Salin, unfortunately his season was derailed by a dirty hit from John Quinneville during a Champions League game. Seems there is a lot to like about Salin and fits the mold of the modern day puck moving Dman, who would have been considered under-sized by NHL standards not too long ago. Has played 6 games on HIFK's Liiga team, so NHL scouts have had a chance to see his game vs men. As most 18 year old prospects, he needs to add strength. To me, he sounds a lot like Jokiharju, which is a positive however I would rank him behind both Warren and Salomonnson on the Sabres draft board at this point.

it baffles me that someone not only takes the time to read a thread they have no interest in but also takes that extra step of posting in that thread to announce their non-interest and belittle people who do believe getting the 14th pick is better than getting the 22nd pick Absolutely, no one is forcing you to read its easy, just move to the next thread

Canucks stay alive in the race beating the Stars in regulation with the Knights comeback win over Chicago they remain a point up on Dallas, though The stars still have 4 games in hand Canucks 3 points back with 1 game on hand vs Knights Vegas gets a bit of a rest with back2Back games coming up in Seattle wed and fri. hopefully the Krakken can get 1 win the west now has 9 teams with between 70 and 80 points 6 playoff sports up for grabs Calgary and Colorado are the only 2 teams sitting comfy

Sure but if Knights really fell of a cliff and ended up in 9th last - Wouldn’t they have a choice to give the Sabres #9 or roll the dice and give the Sabres unprotected 2023 pick?

😮

Lambert with the Vegas pick. Maybe ?

What will be your mood if he decides to go back to school? 1) cool, right decision - see you in a year 2) not cool, want to see him in pro hockey 3) Nervous, is this Cal Peterson part 2?

Only been to Peggys Cove once but it obviously made a huge impact on me. 😂

How high would the pick have to be for the knights to decide to push the pick off to a better 2023 draft ? I have to think they’d have to win 1st or 2nd.

Confusion between him and Dman. Almost a miraculous couple of saves. Levi watch is officially on

Sabres would have 7th and 16th picks if season ended today.

Had to be a perfect shot to beat him and the WM dude had exactly that

First “WOW” save by Levi

Canucks pull within 1 point of the Knights , Pending the Vegas game vs Nashville

jets lose game they can’t afford to lose vs Sens and fail to close the gap. Jets sit at 70 points through 65 played

Ummm, I’ll assume you dont know Sabres have the Knights 1st rounder. ?

Sorry using my Canadian math !

Is it mildly interesting that Adams was at the Sabres game last night and not with other GMs at the prospect game ?? Kinda weird, in that Kitchener isn’t too far from Buffalo I’ll have to guess Buffalo had a bunch of scouts their in his place and other upper mgmt people

Dallas plays possum vs Carolina, gets outshot 47-15 but behind some stellar goaltending by Wedgewood win in shoot-out Vegas now 3 points out of the playoffs heading into game vs Nashville tonight Dallas has 2 games in hand

Nope but it’s gonna be close. Too tough a division next year but the year after they battle for the top seed

Top 6? Absolutely nothing. 4th liner IMHO

If only the Sabres had a late first early 2nd to have a look at Warren 👀 I read Luneua had a really good game as well.
