Even more amazing is that they still have to pay Cody Hodgson and Christian Ehrhoff almost $800k each next season.

Played for Iowa in ECHL this season.

A number of Tampa players including Vasilevskiy got playoff experience in Syracuse.

And the needs of the Sabres are to get their developing young players some playoff experience, which hasn’t happened at the NHL level for over a decade.

“Thanks dudacek for coming to work at the corporate office while we had so many people out. But your branch office and friends are suffering and it might close soon without your help. Since our staff is back to full strength, we would really appreciate it if you could help them out, knowing that we fully intend to move you up to the corporate office next year.”

The Sabres have one call up move left. It doesn’t affect players being sent down who do not yet have to clear waivers, so that is not an issue. And if my team was struggling I’d appreciate some reinforcements being sent to get over the hump, which they haven’t been able to do on their own. And the argument that they’d be upset is ridiculous. They were originally brought up due to injuries. Those players are back and available to play. They knew the plan was to send them back for the playoffs. The Amerks are in a de facto playoff run now. Win or they’re out.

They go with the understanding that they’re going to help the team, it’s not a punishment. They know they were designated to be allowed to go back. And they are not losing hundreds of thousands of dollars in two weeks. Power wasn’t signed when they had to make the designation of who could go back down.

The issue isn’t that he’s bad, the issue is that he, Fitzgerald, and Krebs could help the Amerks make the playoffs. The Sabres aren’t going anywhere. They could extend their and other prospects season by weeks in the AHL.

The Amerks were in 2nd place earlier in the season. Then they got hurt with callups to the Sabres and injuries. But the Sabres now have 9 healthy defensemen and still won’t send the Amerks any help. No excuse for that.

Unless they have a dramatic finish it looks like the Amerks will miss the playoffs. They only had to finish in the top 5 out of 7 teams. The organization talked about wanting to get their young players playoff experience, but then didn’t send down the eligible young players that could have got them there. Another missed opportunity while the Sabres have plenty of healthy veterans sitting.

Morris Titanic

You think Mitts is a good center? He’s slow and easily gets knocked off the puck. I cringe when he plays in OT. Krebs is faster and more physical. So yes, Krebs is younger, has more potential, and can replace the minimal contribution Mitts makes.

Ever hear of Jack Quinn and JJ Peterka? And if you say they’re not centers, Krebs can play 3rd line center next season.

KA needs to shop Mittlestat during the summer to see what he can get. He’s more of a liability than an asset, and his spot can be filled by a younger player with more potential.

The Sabres now have 9 healthy defensemen. It’s time for KA to send Samuelsson, Fitzgerald, and Krebs to Rochester by Wednesday to help them make the playoffs. They’re not going to make it without reinforcements.

Granato has to stop putting Mittlestat out in OT. He’s neither fast or strong enough to maintain puck possession.

The Sabres ARE the Washington Generals.

Jesus, do not play Mittlestat in OT. He’s too slow.

His best season was 20 goals and 44 points. That’s not living up to expectations for a top 10 pick. I’m not blaming him for his illness, but he clearly didn’t deliver on his potential.

What major sport puts their fans before profits? The NFL is going to have games on Amazon Prime next season.

I see Mitts as another Cody Hodgson; potential skill that will never live up to expectations. Include him in a package for a veteran defenseman who can pair with and mentor Power.

Not a good look for Eichel to be snarky to the end.

Attendance was 12,437. Pegulas are petitioning the league to move the Sabres into the Vegas division.

Best game of the season!
