First one for sure even though Savoie and Nazar might be redundant. Second one is more a boom/bust but the boom could turn out great.

Wow, sounds serious. Hope she makes a full recovery very soon.

Interesting. Rosen and Cederqvist were going to play together in Sweden this year, now might be Rochester. Forton in his interview wasn’t happy with Leksands for development which probably was a big factor in this. Karmanos in his interview said they were having conversations that would determine backfilling the Amerks If Quinn and JJ move up. Rosen, Kisakov, Cederqvist, Rousek, maybe Pilut, maybe Kozak That would be a really nice group coming in (Rousek getting a regular season in) Love that they are bringing the development in house where they can.

Some of you are really damaged. Atleast wait until free agency opens before having your “We are doomed” meltdowns.😀

The Sabres owe it to the fan base and this young team to make a few moves. A legit starting goalie and a solid dman that can play the right side. These moves don’t have to be massive deals that block anyone in the future or destroy the build but a couple solid moves to show the young team and the fan base that they believe that they are ready to take a step. Lets say they sign DeSmith for 2 years and Comrie for 1 year in net and Subban for 2 years on D. Subtle upgrades that won’t throw things out of whack but would help solidify the lineup. DeSmith and Comrie are lower end options that would provide a solid tandem in net. Not a star #1 but a solid tandem that would go a long way. Regardless of which players it is they add, they new to do something to show good Will and that they are serious.

It was a poster on a message board so it is by no means gospel. I just thought it was interesting to post. If true, interesting that they interviewed Cooley and Nemec that should be long gone but not Jiricek or Kemell. Also haven’t seen Chelsey’s name mentioned as being interviewed.

A guy on another site reported the Sabres Interviewed the following players: Snuggerud, Del bel belluz, Rinzel, Savoie, Warren, Kasper, Cruz, Nemec, Nazar, Ostlund, Beck, Lambert, Mateychuk, Nyman, Ronni, Mcgroarty, Lekkerimaki, Ohgren, Suzdalev, Devine, MacDonald, Cooley, Lorenz, Buchinger, Firkus, Gauthier, Geekie

This is where I will defer to the front office and scouts. There have been a lot of mixed messages about what kind of guy Subban is like in the room. If the FO think he would be a good fit then I will trust in them.

To me Teppo and Jeep were great skaters and elite thinkers which allowed them to transition from great offensive dmen into reliable defensive dmen. I don’t know if PK is there as a skater or thinker. I think both were great teammates and I don’t know if PK is one or not.

Before this season we had six draft picks for the 2022 draft and we now have 11. Hopefully the scouts have some late round gems they swing at.

Why? He was injured. I mean scouts have watched him all season. Does 5’9 and a half or 5’10 make a lick of difference? If they are splitting hairs like that then they are doing it all wrong. His game isn’t going to change. He is who he is.

Fixed the goaltending problem and gained a 7th round pick. Adams is a genius. The only issue seems to be the fact that Bishop can no longer play goal.😜😁

On the very remote choice that they do take Warren at #28 could you have a live feed focused on your tv.😁

Bring me NOAH Warren in the 2nd round. Won’t have the offence of some of the others RHD but he Is a unicorn with the size, physicality and skating. He is the type of guy that in 4 years when he has played a couple playoff series other teams will be talking about how they can find a NOAH Warren.

Campbell and Comrie Desmith and Comrie would be interesting goalie upgrades.

I want the better player who is Mikheyev. We should be looking to ice the best team and shoot for the playoffs then nickel and diming for “value”

The college players come to prospects camp but they don’t come to training camp. I don’t know what the new rules entail but they used to be able to come if they weren’t getting paid. Same with the European prospects whose seasons are starting around training camp time so they only come in the summer.

Be interesting to see if Portillo or Johnson are there. Should be an interesting one with all the new additions from the draft and getting to see guys from the past couple drafts for the first time.

He made $1.65 this year. I would offer him $2.75-3 on a 3 year deal. He is 27 years old. He is 6’3 and has an elite trait: skating. He can play wing anywhere in the bottom 9 and be an elite PK guy and with more opportunity can improve on 21 goals. He is better then Vinny. Him and Cozens would be demons with their size, skating and forecheck. I wouldn’t hand JJP and Quinn jobs. Make them earn them. Guys will be injured too.

You forgot a big one too: he played with Josh Bloom so the Sabres has a lot of eyes on him this year.

Calling my shot. One under the radar name I’m going to say the Sabres will show interest in is Ilya Mikheyev from the Leafs. 6’2, elite speed, scored 21 goals, 4 short handed. He was a big difference maker, especially on the PK. He is looking for more opportunity that the Leafs can’t offer and they can’t afford to sign him. He wouldn’t break the bank but he would impress. Can play up and down the lineup. Plays hard and would bring a Russian into the fold at the NHL level to help transition some of the Russian kids.

LOL Friedman said on his podcast with Marek that the arbitrator still hasn’t Ruled on the Evander Kane-SJ wrongful termination case and that there is a strong chance that SJ will have to take Kane back at his old salary. What a mess.

That was from a dad whose kid played with Nazar when they were kids.
