Can we get back to discussing goaltenders.
Gibson, Hellebuyck, Kuemper, Husso, Campbell, DeSmith, Comrie etc.
Who you want, what are you willing to pay?

They are roommates for the Summer. Hughes mentioned they were shocked to get Him back and that Levi really is the team.
The Sabres did not interview Hughes.
These are the type of crazily obsessed tendencies I want in my goaltender. This is how greatness is reached.

Did the Sabres interview Lambert?

With the Nightengale connection I would be shocked if the Sabres didn’t go to the U.S. team for a couple of selections.

Sources say Campbell is looking for $5 million a year. No mention of term.

Adams needs to take advantage of this -- eat bad contracts for picks and prospects. Ideally these bad contracts are veterans who can also lead the young guys.
Two things though:
1) How much money has Pegula authorizes Adams to spend. Maybe he can’t go much past the floor
2) I don’t want cap dumps coming on that can play. The team has great chemistry and a good culture now, those guys mess it up. If it is someone like Weber that can’t play and Montreal gives you good assets to take the contract fine but not some guy that will come in and take ice time from younger guys.
I have no problem trading for a guy with salary if he is a good player and fits with the culture but hard no to the Lucics and Monahans of the world.

Let's not also forget moving from 6th to the 2nd pick in the draft in 2019 and moving from 16th to winning the lottery and getting the #1 pick in the 2020 draft. They've been very fortunate in many ways to get their rebuild going. And as you said they went from Lundqvist to Shesterkin in net.
There rebuild consists of a world class goalie playing for them and a world class offensive forward Panarin) and world class young dman (Fox) deciding he would only sign with them.
They got tremendous draft luck with the lottery but Laf and Kakko are no great shakes at this point.
Put Georgiev in net as their starter and they don’t even sniff the playoffs.

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.

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.
Sabres Officially Select #9, #16, and #28
in The Aud Club
Posted · Edited by Flashsabre
Jets GM says they haven’t started talks with Dubois and want to restock their prospects pool.
Would you trade #9 as part of a package for Dubois? The pick would be a main piece if the deal.
I could see the Jets wanting Manitoba boy Geekie if he is there at 9. Winnipeg have trouble keeping players that want to stay there. Getting a young home grown star would be big.
Dubois and Cozens give you a dominating playoff line for the next decade.
What if Adams goes massive and tries to land Dubois and Hellebuyck?
Probably not going to happen but nothing at 9 enthuses me as much as adding a stud like Dubois.
