I’m watching, at least the first. Hope he gets through it ok. Though rather not see him score 4 that being said I’m extremely happy with Tuch and Krebs. The Sabres may be a better team after the trade, especially if the draft pick hits too

im not too worried about wingers in the coming years top 9 wingers for next season would be Skinner Tuch Quinn JJ Olofsson Krebs with Okposo and Asplund being able to fill in soon enough Rosen, Kisakov, Poltapov and others will be knoking on the door as well which leads me to think Sabres draft 7 or 8 and pick up Jiricek

Will be a lot better off when Mitts replaces Eakin on the 3rd line edit. That’s me being Captain Obvious

Cooley or Nemec is one tough call. Think you can’t go wrong with either pick but I lean Cooley. Then pick up a RHD later on rd 1

Either Rochester or Buffalo

Kisakov with both goals for Dynamo so far today. one finishing a 2-1 nice shot to beat the goalie 2nd showed good hands and a bit lucky as he banked it off post and the goalie from behind the net. Believe he is up to 22 goals and 45 points in 43 games in MHL when do we expect him in the Sabres organization?

I’m really starting to think the Sabres plan is Dahlin - Power top pairing with Power on the right Samuelsson- Joker 2nd pair Bryson - Pysyk bottom Johnson in AHL draft top RHD Slovak defender on board

Yep.

When your on the ice with Krebs. You always have to learn to expect a pass right on your stick at all times. Think he surprises guys

Yes the correct answer is all of them. I like the thought of what Hayden was to bring for a 4th line Haven’t seen enough of it for sure

If you could choose. Who’s be first to go? 1) Jankowski 2) Hayden 3) Bjork 4) Eakin 5) someone else I’d say Bjork. - he brings nothing

Perfect example of where they are as a franchise. great shift by the Thompson line leading to goal Next up Bjork, Hayden and Janskowski. Tie game

Does it change your opinion on him?

Yet trades for Devon Levi, arguably as a good a goalie prospect there is 🤷‍♂️

Can’t wait till they have a goalie or two that won’t let those in the 3-2 goal was even worse.

Once Quinn is back. Put Quinn, JJ and Cozens together Sabres are fun to watch until Eakins jumps over the boards

At this point I would agree with you but lets see how the rest of the season goes and how he does (IF) they finish up the World Juniors. His talent is top 10 worthy, would you agree?

Having to trade for Vesey to complement depth scoring, exemplifies how sorry a state the Sabres were in. Now the big question is, where will the Sabres rank next season with the 6 of the top 10 prospects on this list playing full time in the NHL. With 3 first rounders and 2 seconds rounders, they should remain in the top 10.

One of the few that hasn't dropped Lambert much either. If you move Nemec into the 9 slot, there wouldnt be one guy in there that I would be disappointed in the Sabres drafting. Anyone of Wright, Lambert, Kemell, Cooley, Slafkovsky, Savoie, Yurov, Jiricek and Nemec would look good in Royal Blue.

You would be correct

Skipped over a major piece in Krebs but over all a good analysis major difference to me from 2014-15 to this season - Is that they didn’t have a huge core of youth that is about to step into lineup In 15/16 they had Eichel, Reinhart and girgs as young players with Risto on D once you got past the 4 young players and Kane / O’Reilly the team had little else next years team SHOULD be able to put out quality / skilled 4 lines and 3 defensive pairs it will be interesting to see if they can outperform the 15/16 team

Looking back at his August list. I’d guess Power would be #1 , though it’s not a slam dunk vs Byfield his august list Byfield Caufield Power Zegras Perfertti Johnson Clarke Beniers Raymond Eklund might be my homer opinion but I think Quinn should now be among these prospects

Who will be #1 im guessing Buffalo - he mentioned on another teams write up that he thought Power is the best prospect outside of the NHL Could make a case for either LA or Buffalo being #1 LA’s AHL team is loaded with prospects and I’m guessing he will consider Byfield a prospect, even though he’s playing with Kings

Gotta think it was pretty cool for Dahlin to get a fist pump from Hedman when he came back to the bench after his goal. good for Rasmus!

For me 1) play at least a 1.2 points per game pace. If they play at that level next year , it makes them at worst a playoff contender 2) more games for Quinn, JJ and Krebs 3) UPL returning and playing well 4) sign Power 5) sign Johnson 6)improved health for Mitts 7) skinner 30 goals plus 8- improved offence from Cozens 9) confidence from Dahlin. Both ends of the ice 10) becoming a thorn in the side of the top teams in their division
