Crusader1969

Based off of viewings or box score ? i respectively disagree that he was bad. He plays a style for that would be difficult for any teenager to be successful vs men. Plus, he had very limited minutes so far if he had played with the London Knights and not SKA for the last 2 seasons, he would be ranked much much higher. I think he is a top 5 prospect and will be a key member of the Sabres in 2 or 3 years.

2 primary assists today. Watch, he will start zooming up prospects lists now from those that just look at stats. 🤣.aka Sabres Twitter. When it comes to Sabres prospects, Baker is really the only one I listen to because I trust he is watching the games If anyone is interested, the KHL has an app and you can pay $2 to watch the games live.

He is 21 on one of the best teams in the KHL. If you look at their opening day lineup today, there is no other forward who is under 24. Don't confuse the KHL with AHL, KHL is not a developmental league. Teams are there to win now, so he's played limited minutes down the lineup so far in his career Not that this matters long term either but he just had a SH goal in his fist game of 24/25. Had a productive preseason as well

One thing I can't stand is people looking at stats and making a judgement on Poltapov. The man is a beast and brings everything to the game that the Sabres need Please don't take my word for it, but how about Kris Baker who watches almost every game he's played? If you follow or listen to Kris, you will know how he feels about Poltapov

Do you have a Gretzky rookie?? I have one , should get it graded. Assuming it's a pretty low rating but still would be nice to know what it's worth always pains to think how many I had back then, some where probably traded away, lost in wall card battles or used in the spokes of my bike!

I collected mid 70s to early 80s and then again for a couple of years in the 90s along with everyone else 2 years ago I decided to start collecting from my year of birth (1969) to current. Luckily my birth year coincides with the Sabres existing. this last year I collected 73/74, 83/84, 2013/14 and 2023/24 O-pee-chee for the older and upper deck for the newer. I collect the base sets plus all the young guns ....expensive this year due to the Bedard card. Completed all except for a couple of young guns in the extended set.

Just a reminder that health is above all and that "time "is the world's most precious commodity. enjoy what you have today because it can be all taken away tomorrow

Not a fan of this trade at all

I was down on him most of this past season BUT I will admit he finished really well.

I suggest he really is a 3rd line winger on a real good team

Cozens and Tage being in good form for the entire season, UPL not regressing and the PP becoming average

If Poltapov was in Rochester last year, I think he would be in the top 6

I would have take less than a bag of picks to get rid of Skinner and saving $7.4 million on the cap

He's a good 3rd line player. I agree, I think he remains there to start the season as 3rd line LW

hockey news has a interesting article about him today, you might want to check it out Jets have an interesting decision to make soon The price to get him would be really steep. id like to see how Benson does with Quinn and Cozens before I start thinking about trading Kulich and Östlund.

I wonder if they move him to the wing this year in Rochester?

Why the fascination with Ehlers? I know it's not just you. I think he's a fine player but the be-all-end-all

Yes, sorry too much sun I suppose 2nd line winger it might not be realistic for him to double his production BUT with PP time and playing on a line with Cozens and Quinn - it would be possible

Am I the only one who thinks Benson will be a productive 2nd line Centre? if they are going to add anything, I would want a legit top 4 RHD still have plenty of ammo and cap space to acquire one...assuming there is a team willing to trade one

100%. seeing Kulich and Östlund for Ehlers in some rumour made me sick to my stomach.

lol. Sorry went over my head 🙂

Sure , but I could say the same about Savoie. Finished the season a year ago and had a short stint this past year.

Is ostland a prospect we haven't seen in the pros?

I'll vote yes Not a chance

Fans there all should have stood up and cheered this guy and then in unison started a Chant "make a trade Kevyn"
