That’s cross checking??

This would be the ideal spot for Mitts. His 5v5 play has been the amongst the worst for the forwards and He only has one point at even strength. This would allow Him to protected defensively and maximize His Special Teams Play

9th Backup faced by the Sabres in 15 Games

Lottery Teams that Taylor Hall has played on usually get the First Overall Pick

Should not be paired together right now. The rest of the defense is barely above or at AHL Level having them play 60% of the minutes versus the Bruins isn’t the best idea.

No Okposo at the AM Skate

This explains things

All three have already proven themselves at the AHL Level and the only way to gain NHL Experience is by playing in the NHL. Krebs, Quinn and Peterka all have positive defensive metrics and are even out producing Mittelstadt 5 v 5 in terms of points. Putting them in Rochester is going to hinder their development and it will also block the development of players who are down there this season

UPL has an illness per Amerks

That third line versus Boston

The most important thing to remember about Jack Quinn’s Career thus far is it takes Him Time to adjust to the next level of play. He went from 32 points in His First Year in the OHL to 89 in His Second. He played 15 games in His First Year in Rochester and had 9 points, last season He played 45 games and had 61 points. He has 5 points in 11 games with the Sabres thus far. When His Offense catches up with His Defense, it’s gonna be fun

The First Chart is the 2021-22 Season for Krebs, the Second is this Season. There has been improvement

Vet Rest for Okposo?

If you look at His Analytics from the previous seasons He has taken a step back. Using Evolving Hockey’s Public Model He was in the 83rd, 63rd and finally 89th Percentile for all Defenseman over the past three seasons. This is the primary reason the Sabres Analytics Department targeted Him IMO. As Taro mentioned, His Foot Injury has probably effected His Play.

Reilly clears waivers

Great Hire

That’s all folks

Vinnie needs to get back into the lineup

Joe Yerdon, On the Maintenance Day Podcast, was talking about what happens to player’s xGF%, when they are away from Him, not a good look
