In depth look at my #2 fav prospect. closing in on #1 https://nhlentrydraft.com/news/the-analysis-matthew-savoie/

A long time ago I’m sure. Power is the first in a decade to not go directly to NHL

I doubt it too but I think it’s a mistake. I’d love to see him play half a year in Rochester next season. If he is clearly ready for pro hockey - bring him up Isn’t there a date they have to be on the Rochester roster to be playoff eligible? Obviously they all have to be there for that. Including Murray

I’d prefer they continue to get better together in Rochester. Bring the 3 forwards up together for a bit later in the year. Yes Samuelsson should be up anytime Butcher is needed to play Sick non covid. Should be back soon

Seriously. Bring Samuelsson up over playing Butcher ever again

He’s lucky there isn’t an old takes exposed thread on this site 😂

yep i agree.

I would think he wouldn't want them all to come off their ELC's in the same year. May make sense to have a couple expire in 2024 and the rest in 2025. meaning that 2 or so will get enough games this season to come off their ELC in 2 years rather than 3

love the optimism, I don't see it. I think Adams doesnt care where they finish. just cares about developing the players, which is the right approach. bottom 3 written all of the roster that I dont see getting reinforcements until the last 9 or 10 games of the season. Power, Quinn, JJ, Krebs... i think Samuelsson comes up soon than later.

I guess current attendance levels haven’t impacted the value too much is there a Sabres supporters club? would love to see them open a section up to “supporters” Allow them to bring flags, drums. try to liven up the in stadium experience akin to a soccer / European hockey feel

Im pretty sure I'll be watching the Amerks over the Sabres at this point.

Good news for Draft Geeks Both Brad Lambert and Joakim Kemell are on Team Finlands World Junior Final Roster

I was thinking Samuelsson would be the steadying of the pair. 😂

At some point they are going to have to bring up the 4 kids from Rochester for a bit. Bring some energy to the team on the ice and the fan base first step is to pair Samuelsson and Dahlin

Further, I wasn’t specifically talking about him - my point is that there is always a segment of Buffalo fans that hates their best players eichel had his detractors throughout his Sabres days before Edmunds it was Gilmore Who of course left Buffalo for NE and is now a 2 time 1st all pro, 2019 defensive player of year and super bowl champ None of those players fit the bill of the Sabres best players.

Sure he was. My comment is that Buffalo fans have an epidemic of hating their best players. He said “the best players show up and are *****”. If he wasn’t talking Eichel and Samson , who was he talking about ?

you saying that Eichel showed up and was a pile of sh*t proves my point. Samson is another example.

I can guarantee you people will hate on Power because he is 6'5 and not overly phsyical

its an epidemic....people just hate the good players. they will never change

Not asking for much but some steady goaltending tonight would be nice

Hating the good players is another obsession

It doesn’t fit their narrative. Some people will never like him because he doesn’t throw his body around. Others will come around once the defensive lapses stop occurring as frequently as they are

I have no plans at the moment to go to see the Sabres… or are you not talking about this Burlington boy My son who is 16 has friends who know Shane Wright. He says they all say the same -he lives, eats, breathes hockey. Competitive leader, even though he was often 1 to 2 years younger than all his teammates. and yes, the Sabres will be a serious contender for the first overall pick Good comps!

it does seem that We've been on the train to Bangkok - Aboard the Thailand Express We've hit A LOT OF stops along the way, only hoping for the best. learning that we cant get something for nothing, we've shed a lot of tears, learnt a lot of lessons. Many times its felt like we entered the twilight Zone beyond this world strange things are known all just to enter the Pleasure dome - Xanadu when the Sabres win the Cup

yes, but where is he on the body checks per 60 chart?
