No one going talk about the this guy at all?😀

Savoie with 1g 1a as Moose Jaw beat Saskatoon in OT of Game 1.

Canucks just won 2-1 with 12 shots on net

I like the pick. Bills really haven’t had a guy like him in the Allen era. Big physical beast who excels on contested balls and catches everything thrown his way. I think Allen will love him.

WR- check S- check I wonder if they look Centre if one is available they like

Sabres couldn’t be happier with tonight. 3 top prospects score and Levi stands tall in net. Kulich, Rosen, Östlund, Wahlberg, Neuchev, R Johnson, Novikov, Levi all developing in the playoffs. Good stuff. A lot of AHL teams go far with a bunch of vets and tweeners that don’t really help the NHL team but the Amerks have a lot of kids helping drive the bus who have NHL potential in the coming years.

Syracuse. Can’t handle the Swedes!!

That would be something

https://www.buffalohockeybeat.com/rochester-rookie-nikita-novikov-looks-like-special-sabres-defense-prospect/ The forwards get all the attention but I think people are really sleeping on the seasons that the 2 Russian Dmen have had. Novikov in the AHL and Komarov’s past 2 years in the Q.

The one guy I wouldn’t move right now is Wahlberg because his overall package is so different from anything else they have. But the other top prospects and #11 are on the table for the right impact player.

You wonder why some of these guys don’t have credibility. If true, either Berube said no to an interview or Adams just BSed everyone and only talked to Ruff. Either way I don’t care but the larger optics aren’t great.

Does he try to get 2 wrs in the 2nd? Take Mitchell and then use some of those obtained picks to move up and grab McConkey or a Coleman a little later

I put Bob Cole and RJ on my hockey play by play Mount Rushmore. Cole and Harry Neale were a fantastic pair. RIP Mr Cole

Staios has different connections. Wouldn’t be surprised if it is the coach of the Marlies, Gruden.

Someone on this board said they heard there was a Rick Dudley sighting at the arena. Couldn’t figure out if they were joking or a source had told them that. He would be a huge add to the organization if it was true.

Every team has these tweeners. They are NHL depth that can play when injuries occur over an 82 game season. I don’t see it as egregious. The Marlies won a Calder Cup with a lineup that rivalled some NHL payrolls.

There is also Wahlberg coming who adds a completely different game compared to the others. Neuchev is really developing too. They could move two of Kulich, Rosen, Savoie or Östlund and this year’s first pick and still be in good shape up front prospect wise. You only move them for quality NHL players that fill real needs though.

Yep. It was always going to be Ruff. And I’m fine with it. If you decide this is the house you want to buy you don’t need to look at 30 more. Just put an offer in. I didn’t see any of the other candidates as head and shoulders above Ruff. Berube and Gallant were the best alternatives and they each came with different warts as well. Ruff could bring what they do but has the added Buffalo history aspect to the equation. Pegula could be sold on him, Adams knows and can work with him and it gives some good PR to a fan base that is desperate for it.

Georgiev has not been good but Hellebuyck has been equally bad so far this series. Demko injured and Desmith has not been up to the task tonight so far against the Preds. Worst nightmare for a team when the franchise goalie goes down in Game 1 of the playoffs.

Georgiev doesn’t even look like he’s trying. Avs are going to have to score A LOT this series.

OK, coach is hired, vibes, accountability talk. The real work needs to begin. Step 1: Fill out the staff with quality NHL level coaches Step 2: Identify what pieces Ruff feels are missing from the lineup. A checking line with some energy and grit is a must. Centre that can win key draws. Sounds like Lindy wants an enforcer type he can move in and out of the lineup. Step 3: Adams needs to step up and get these pieces. Prospects and draft picks need to be on the table for quality NHL players You can tell by Adams demeanour today that he knows his ass is over the fire and he better deliver.

What did you want him to do, punch Terry in the face and start screaming at him?

Vegas will be in a cap crunch. Chandler Stephenson would be a very good 2/3 C signing

At the deadline 2 names they were rumoured to be going after were Boone Jenner from the Jackets and Noah Cates from the Flyers
