Flashsabre

Game is on NHL Network for those who get it. 1-0 Caps after one. Good period for the Sabres with lots of chances. Krebs, Greenway, JJ, Jost, Bryson and a whole bunch of kids. Comrie in net.

He is a college player (ND I think) who signed with the Marlies last year and with the Amerks this year. An AHL role player.

Rousek’s Spot is 13th forward Who can come in during injuries, kill penalties and fill in where needed in the bottoms 6. That is not the same spot Kulich or Rosen would fill. They would need to play with offensive players in offensive roles. They would have a shot if VO is shipped out and Kane not signed. Skinner Tage Kulich Greenway Mitts Tuch JJ Cozens Rosen if both blew the doors off in camp.

I’m not pounding the table for or against Kane to Buffalo. I do believe the interest is real and he could be useful here. Why do people keep acting like this is 21 year old Kane personality wise? Guy is 34, he has grown up a lot in that time. He wouldn’t be negatively influencing anyone. Okposo and EJ will have the room locked down. Yes I think Pegula is interested. He is owner and President now. He has some influence. I would like the move if it means VO is on the way out. There are many factors at play here: 1) Quinn’s injury leaves a hole. Even if he is back in the new year he won’t be the same this season. 2) I’m sure Terry would like the HOFer from Buffalo in Sabres colours. 3) I think people underestimate how motivated Kane would be on ice to play for the Sabres 4) Adams was his roommate and knows him personally 5) Granato coached him in Chicago and raves about him. Skinner Tage Kane for a year would produce offence and allow them to spread the lineup out with Mitts and Tuch forming a line and JJ Cozens a third line. I know he doesn’t bring the defense people want but a motivated Kane for a year setting up Tage and Skinner would be a positive.

LOL he looks like a 32 year old actor playing an 18 year old in a movie

Skinner Tage Benson Kulich Mitts Tuch JJ Cozens Rosen Nice. Let’s see those lines on Sunday Also, Anderson is there watching practice. The itch is back. We are going 4 goalies on the roster boys!!!!😜😀

Kane would be the perfect signing if he was healthy now. Replace Quinn. Problem is he is probably ready around same time Quinn is. If he is ready earlier I could see them ship out VO and sign Kane

It doesn’t make sense. Mitts is playing that role now and wouldn’t cost assets nor the contract Zegras would want.

I call BS, Eklund hasn’t reported it on Hockeybuzz😛

After watching the behind the draft videos I have no doubt that Adams picks up the phone and checks on every single guy that might be available or is having contract issues. The call probably went nowhere but he atleast checked in to see if there was a chance of a potential deal

Check your meds. Sounds like you mixed them up this morning. You are even more negative and obnoxious then usual.

Are you 12? Grow up or do everyone a favour and get lost.

Well said. He is the perfect embodiment of what Adams wants the culture to be. There is an interview from the end of last season where Greenway just gushes over the quality of person Okposo is and his reputation.

How’s the wifi under the bridge where you are trolling from?

https://www.audacy.com/wgr550/sports/sabres/zach-metsa-hopes-to-turn-playing-for-amerks-into-nhl-contract I can see him becoming the Sabres Matt Grzelyck , small Dman who works his way into the lineup then you can’t take him out because he doesn’t make mistakes. That’s what happened with the Amerks in the playoffs last year and I can see it happening with the Sabres in another year.

I think Novikov, Johnson And Metsa are going to be really fun to watch on that Amerks backend this season. And I think Metsa signs an NHL deal real quick. Add Nicholas Savoie and that’s 4 prospect dmen that will be playing roles on the Amerks. They really have turned the Amerks into a true development team. And Appert has been so impressive with the way he interacts with the media and knowledge of his players. They all speak about their interactions with him during the season. Guy will be an NHL coach down the line.

Can you predict Bryson will be a top 4 this year😜

Wahlberg and Mediema are 6’3-6’4. Strabek and McCarthy are 6’2-6’3 They don't just draft small guys. And size and hitting don’t really correlate anyways. Leafs signed Ryan Reeves. Do you think he will play a big part for the Leafs?

Some absolutely atrocious football tonight with these 2 games.

Well that’s better then saying he will miss all of camp . Hope for a quick recovery

Mike Commodore was saying he is a predator and everything he does is intimidation. He made the point of if he was at development camp and he called a young prospect into the office and tells him to turn on Airplay to put his phone info up on the screen in the office. What if the player is gay but hasn’t come out to his family or friends yet but suddenly his pics with his boyfriend are up on the coach’s screen in his office. Really awkward stuff. I have a strong feeling the phone stuff was the tip of the iceberg and there are other factors at play here as well. Good riddance to the guy. No one from any of his teams has ever had anything nice to say about him.

I agree that Poitras and Lohrei are their top guys.

Yeah but what do those guys know they don’t even post on a message board😜
