I’m sure they will be on the Amerks playoff team. There’s a date they have to be on the Amerks roster. So they’ll get sent down for that date and then back up id guess

Bring him up.

I should have said I assumed Buffalo drafted 5-8. Wright would be #1 if we got lucky

This is easy. Sabres 1st). Whomever is left. Cooley Savoie, Lambert 2) hope Vegas goes out in rd 1 and Jericik falls due to injury (Seamus Casey if not) 3) Rutger Mcgroady. For his name as much as anything

I wouldn’t be so down on The 2 Russian forwards. Even getting KHL experience is pretty good for 18 year olds. And I’d throw their stats out the window as I doubt they play more than a few minutes in each game. Against their peers, they seem to be doing well. I’d argue the same thing with Rosen. Would love to see them move to North America next year , so Sabres can be more hands on with their development. Though I’m guessing they all have contracts that would prohibit that

I really wonder about the validity of expected NHL points. Does it take the players age and years in the league into consideration?

Dahlin , Quinn and now Cozens. it’s happening!!!

Can Dahlin stay now ?

If Sabres are 6-10 I think RHD is the pick

They should and did!

That’s interesting. Krebs was a minus 10 id want to look deeper into the stats. Rochesters goalies haven’t always been top notch and they are fantastic on the pp

Ho-hum Another game and another bar down goal where the goalie had no chance I know they are trying to make him an “elite” NHL player maybe the coach said “exceptional” but I think Quinn should get a week or two with the Sabres

Future 4th line center ??

The Cozens and Krebs line over 60% corsi. The other two lines….not so good

You’ve got a long long wait

I look forward to the day that Skinner isn’t on PP1. Terrible

Don’t agree with the physical part of this. He’s fought at least once , he’s always playing with a snarl. Has a much better shot, especially at the same age.

Glad that was Seider getting manhandled and not Dahlin there. This board would have exploded if so

Anyone else think it’s kind of strange that Krebs is still in NHL while Quinn is in AHL? Though it could be because of position. I’ll assume Krebs goes back to Roch when Mitts returns When do you do an update ?

Makes zero sense at all. This season is about developing the players who are already here, not thinking about who might be available to draft

I like Cozens taking the role as the #1 center. He’s matched up With some of the top centres in the league this year and done well vs them. He might never be a point per game guy but he will work hard, play defensively sound and will chip in offensively as he gains more experience Sabres need to take the BPA. Good news is that pretty good odds a center or RHD will be BPa when they draft Oh and don’t sleep on Lambert !

I’m confident that they will find a good vet to partner up with UPL next season Sure Sabres arent at the top of the list for a lot of UFA but how many teams can offer the guy $$ and a chance to play 30 - 40 games ?

Thompson and Krebs are bacK no one left on the covid list hopefully thats it but not holding my breathe

Biggest question for me going into next season is Olofsson. Will he be the point producing top 9 winger pre-injury or is he the JAG that we’ve seen since he returned ? I think 8 of the 9 forwards next season are written in ink Skinner Thompson Tuch Peterka. Cozens. Quinn Krebs Mitts Olofsson???

I don’t see how this is there plan at all. They are developing their prospects exceptionally well this season Now, if they don’t make an effort to sign Power and Quinn/Krebs/Peterka are ripping apart the AHL next year…. Then I would change my mind and say “tanking” is the plan. Good chance they will be in the lottery but won’t have great odds to win.
