Flashsabre

Who was the guy who sliced EK65’s ankle and put him out of the playoffs?

He can play. He signed his elc last summer. Once his junior season is over he is eligible to play in the AHL. If the Sabres were in the playoffs he could play for them right now.

How can they possibly pay him more money. They gave him one of the worst contracts in the league. Overpaid for 5 years that walked him right to UFA. He hasn’t delivered when it counts and he wants another raise. They have to trade him.

I have yet to see Luke Hughes play D and I have watched him play many times😛

The frustration is Hagel was playing his style in junior. There was projection there. To not even sign him to an elc when Rochester were desperate for bodies was just so dumb.

Michkov is the ultimate wildcard with this draft. The talent is there to be in the same breath as Bedard, Fantilli, Carlsson but the Russian factor, the contract and Rumor he might add 2 more years to it, the unknown around his dad’s passing (is there more to the story we will not know about because of Russia) all have to be weighed by GMs. I have no idea where he is picked. Arizona with 2 top 12 picks, Washington or Detroit are my best bets. Im intrigued by Pronman’s statement that he is hearing that Benson might be available in the teens because of size. Him and Savoie are dynamite together. I have a hard time believing he falls that far but stranger things have happened at the draft.

Yep and everybody seems to forget that this season is a revelation for Montour. Even last season he was nothing special for Florida. He is having a career year at 29/30 years old. His trade value a couple years ago shouldn’t be based on what he is doing this season.

We will have to see if he is assigned there. He might be banged up after the playoff run.

Both Milic and Hauser were great all season. Nice to see smaller goalies making a comeback. Savoie had a ton of chances he just couldn’t get it to go. What I was most encouraged about with Savoie was he doggedness to throw the body and physically engage and battle against a much bigger team. Seattle were full marks for their WHL Championship.

Hopefully Davies and Ciccone back. Love to see Pilut but he may get a chance somewhere else

Savoie’s season is over. Seemed snakebitten tonight. That Seattle Team is a machine. Announcer said it is the best junior team he has seen. Big, skilled and defensively a rock. I really liked #4, Hanzel. 19 year old rock solid dman that hasn’t been drafted. I will be shocked if they don’t win the Memorial Cup. I wonder if Savoie is headed to Rochester next week.

Does anyone know if Glovtov still belongs to Buffalo? He is 25 now and had a couple decent years in the KHL. He was well liked by teammates. He might be the best option as a guy that could play for the Amerks and be a mentor for these Russian kids. Wonder if he was interested in coming back.

If they are drafting Steve Reinprect at 13 I’m done😃

I would like to see Murray get a chance next year. 4th line LW or extra forward. He has worked his butt off for a chance and is a forgotten prospect. If not he will be a nice trade piece. Another team will want a 6’5, 225 pound winger with his production. Greenway on line 3 Murray in line 4 would really boost the size in the bottom 6.

Boosh is an NHL dman. I don’t have a name though because not a ton of Russians stick around the AHL. Could the immortal Glovtov be on his way back😛

He’ll be here. He refused to sign an extension in Russia so he could sign with Buffalo. If Buffalo were smart they would bring in a vet Russian AHL player to lead the way for these Russian kids.

Here in Toronto the story is: -Dubas deal was up. - rumour is management had an extension for him. -Dubas said at PC he had to talk to his family about his future -said he will not be a GM anywhere else next year Lou was GM with Dubas and Mark Hunter under him. People wanted Hunter, experienced hockey man, good eye for talent. They went for Dubas. Dubas biggest downfall were contracts. The core 4 bent him over on deals and handcuffed him from balancing the lineup.

ICE are down 3-1 to Seattle. Could Savoie join the Amerks here soon if they get eliminated? Boy that would be fun to see.

Seattle won 4-2 with an empty netter. These might be the two best teams in junior hockey. Seattle are absolutely loaded. If Winnipeg are out here soon does Savoie join the Amerks for the next round? Would love to see it.

Thoughts and Prayers Woll. Losing 2 series in one week is a lot to take. Hate to see it.😀 Amerks pounded the piss out of them on the scoreboard this series. So great to see Kulich, Rosen, Rousek and Kozak playing so well. Such a great mix of vets and kids. I really like Cederqvist’s game. Uses his body really well and gets under the other team’s skin. Jobst is a great AHL player. To think Biro is out and they haven’t missed a step.

Tulsky has to be the run away favourite with the way Fenway craves analytics.

It will not cost Kulich or Savoie for one year of Hellebuyck. Bringing inHellebuyck for a year would be a great developmental move for the franchise. The development for Levi for the season would be tremendous. Being around Hellebuyck everyday, seeing how he practices, prepares to be consistently good would be huge. A year of Hellebuyck/Levi as a tandem would help this team develop into a playoff contender. Hellebuyck+Demelo for #13+UPL+Joker Gives you the best tandem in the league plus a solid rhd for Power Sign a solid 3rd pairing LHD to play with Boosh.

Time to hire Dubas😂😂🤣🤣🤣
