If a kid is a top prospect for the draft but can’t do a pull up or push up or whatever that is the kid I want to draft. They have gotten there on talent, once you correct that issue they will be so much better.

Give me a break. Vasilevskiy has a rough game one and that is it? He did nothing to get them by the Leafs and Panthers?

Or trade him. Getting anything for an asset you were going to get nothing for is a win.
I liked Pilut. He could be a depth piece or a stud in the AHL if he agreed to that.
He wants out of Russia for obvious reasons. He has no choice but to return to Buffalo if he wants to play here.

Anyone know if this means he wants them to interview with the Sabres or not?

Does the combine really matter?
Two names come to mind - Casey Mittelstadt and Brendan Guhle. Guhle was a combine darling and is a AAAA D. Maybe he’ll get to 100 games in his career, maybe. Mitts was the butt end of many jokes, yet he looks like he is on the verge of becoming a star player, assuming he can stay healthy. The only take away I can see if that Mitts’ level of fitness should have forced the Sabres to get him on a fitness program asap, but that’s about it.
Since size is becoming less of an issue in the modern NHL, are even the measurements all that important?
The message to me is focus on the on ice performance and the interviews and worry less about the physical measurables.
You are focused on the testing. It is the interview process that is much more meaningful.

Neither team is capable of shutting it down defensively. It could be a record setting series offensively.
-
This is not surprising. Jerry Forton in his interview was not happy with organization Rosen was with in Sweden and that they didn’t have a direct farm team to send Rosen to so he could develop.

You don’t see many playoff games where both goalies are replaced.
the Oilers are like watching Gretzky, Mess, Kurri, Anderson, Coffey and the gang all over again.

What kind of game does he play?
Rosen has blazing speed and a sniper’s shot. Needs to put on weight and strength.

Did any of them shoot right? 😈
Kukkonen did. But you have to remember that you can only have 50 contracts so you don’t want to waste one on a player that you don’t see any future in.

From Lance Lysowskis article:
“The AHL will be a significant adjustment for Rosen. In addition to the smaller ice surface, he will need to learn how to create offense in a more physical, chaotic game. There will be opportunity to learn and develop, especially if Quinn and Peterka make the Sabres’ roster out of training camp. Rosen can play top-six minutes and special teams.
If both join the Sabres, Appert will still have prospects to coach, including Rosen, Kisakov, Lukas Rousek, Linus Weissbach and Brandon Biro. But if Peterka or Quinn are back in Rochester to start the season, the Sabres have a way to ensure Rosen can still develop and receive the necessary playing time.
A source told The News that Rosen has a clause in his contract that allows him to be loaned back to a team in Sweden before December if he's not playing enough. The move can be made if Rosen needs a top-six opportunity.”Seems like they are bringing him over to develop.

I wouldn’t pay a cent for Gibson. He’s been below average since 2018 and has considerable term left.
Well Anaheim have iced an awful team. That is where the analytics dept and Bales would have to come into play. Are his numbers caused by the team or has his play fallen off.
-
Use a first +Johnson + to aquire Gibson or sign a UFA goalie to be the starter next year: Kuemper, Campbell, Husso, etc.
Or sign two goalies to create a tandem:
Desmith+Comrie
They need new, competent blood in the crease next season in order to make a meaningful step forward.
You can have all the young guys you want progressing but if you are fishing the puck out of your net constantly it doesn’t mean squat.

Those guys really love Nazar more then all the other scouts.

That would be a train wreck to be honest. Gudbranson isn’t a good Dman and has had a grand total of 1 good season with CGY under Darryl Sitter’s defensive structure. He failed miserably in any more loose game plan, Pittsburgh and Vancouver.
Zadorov is extremely inconsistent in his play. I watched him with Chicago spend a few games as a defensive stalwart only play some games at Mezaros level.
I honestly have no idea if Subban can do what Teppo and Patrick did. Subban’s persona is loud and entertaining which wouldn’t mesh with playing a secondary role focusing on defense and mentorship. He seems like a great guy but also might be overly energized to the point of drowning out our young leaders in the making who might be a bit quieter in the locker room. If we can’t get a DeMelo or a more defensive skewed player; I’d perhaps offer him a 1 year deal at 4mil with him fully agreeing to the role of vet/mentor/no spotlight on the ice role. If he agrees, give him a year to prove it to management and himself. If he hates the role after trying it; he’s less than 3 hours from Toronto and can become a broadcast guy without even having to move.
Message boards where every trade or signing would be a disaster.
Zadorov-Gudbransen would be fine as a third pair defensive pairing. Keep it simple, kill penalties. They had good chemistry together.
Probably won’t happen anyways but they are ahead of where Manson is right now.
-
As a few mentioned, just sign the Zadorov-Gudbransen pair as a 3rd pairing. The “we need big physical guys” crowd would be happy. Add a goalie and you are good to go.

Not sure whether this bit from the Karmanos presser fits better here or the prospects thread.
In the context of restocking Rochester because of prospects graduating, he said something to the effect of "demands on what happens with some ongoing talks we're having." He didn't elaborate.
Does he mean where they plan to play Kisakov? Are they still hoping for Johnson to sign? Is there something potentially brewing with Poltapov or Rosen? Maybe Cedarqvist or Konecny or kozak one of the 3 defencemen taken at the bottom of 2018? Is there a college UFA left worth signing?
It piqued my curiousity.
Or did he mean talks about whether they should graduate JJ and Quinn. Talks about keeping R2.

Great tournament for Canada and Cozens. Almost the immaculate comeback but that ref my oh my.
Watching Tompkins play net makes me angry all over again about Levi and the Olympics
Dahlin has already arrived but let’s hope this was a big springboard for Cozens and Asplund to pull“A Tage” next year.

Why is Dubois a cancer?

Dubois has also been good but I'm going to assume with the smiley face you're not seriously suggesting Cozens rode the coattails of his center, because he definitely didn't. They played well together, as well as Batherson, and you can credit the coaching with assembling a line that complimented each other perfectly. But that's what I'm talking about (along with Doohickie's point above). Strength of his game is not open ice but on the wall, in the slot, front of the net, all the greasy areas where he will maneuvre in tight, unafraid, and even enjoying it.
the top lines went head to head today for much of the game and although Krejci did get one goal, Pasternak looked totally frustrated. They basically shut them down and added scoring of their own. Perfect 2 way hockey.
The smiley was for trading for Dubois to run a Krebs Dubois Cozens line.
Cozens has been full value so far. He looks like he will be a playoff warrior when that day comes.

@K-9 pretty much summed up my thoughts. Just add I thought Cozens really elevated his game as the tournament progressed and he brought his best for the biggest games. He played really well but looked kind of shocked that he was named one of the top 3. Speaks to a humbleness to go along with his work ethic. Is it his coming out party? Maybe, he's definitely close if not there already.
I said this earlier in the year and I'm doubling down on it after watching him play wing in this tournament. really think we should consider him as a winger not a center. It suits his game and style and pairing him with a playmaking center (perhaps Krebs) might be the best move for us going forward. Not saying he can't succeed as a center, just think he might be a better winger. Future is bright regardless.
and slap an 'A' on his jersey next year, it's time.
Or pair him with Krebs and Dubois😁

6-1 Canada win. Cozens with 2 goals and assist.
Cozens named one of the 3 top players for Canada for the tournament.
Cozens, Dahlin, Asplund all won best players for their teams. Great tournament for development.
Cozens vs Joker for Gold tomorrow

People getting angry that someone wants to come back to the organization is comical.
No one is saying he is taking a top 4 spot, even top 6. Let him come to camp. If he makes it great. If not, put him on waivers for the Amerks or flip him for a pick. He is head and shoulders above what played for Rochester this season.
