Pittsburgh calling Jarry’s agent to up their offer after watching DeSmith defecating the bed in back to back games against the Germans and Latvians

You try making a video package of him using his skating to angle an attacker to the boards or using his stick to break up a cross zone pass.😛

Adams is on a signing heater. His next move will be signing DeAndre Hopkins and loaning him to the Bills for next season.😛

Peterka vs Quinn, Krebs, Levi Bring it on!

You should always target BPA in the first round. They will probably add a couple more D in other rounds but they can choose who they feel is the best fit at #13 without reaching or use the pick to acquire a quality player. Metsa was a good pickup. I can see him signed to an NHL deal in the next year. Johnson, Lindgren, Novikov, Komarov, Metsa is a D pipeline. Add a couple more this draft and it is starting to round into form.

Earlier in the season I said Krebs was one of the best passers on the team and got a lot of blowback from some people. Glad to see his skills are being recognized. He is a real heart and soul leader type. Rousek is a very good playmaker too. Nice to see playmakers like Mitts, Krebs, Savoie, Rousek to offset the scorers they have accumulated.

Johnson hasn’t played since the Frozen Four so he won’t be inserted in the lineup. Savoie came straight from the WHL Finals so he had been playing the whole time. I would love to see a Johnson-Metsa pairing at some point😀 Im happy about this announcement. Kid is a great skater and plays a really smart defensive game. You have to think he has a chance to take that 3rd LHD spot in Buffalo. Good Job Adams. Nice week (Johnson, Komarov, Novikov,Okposo)

I keep saying people are sleeping on Krebs. He’s going to have a big breakout next season.

Wait he will report to the Amerks now? Could he play playoff games?

Komarov and Lindgren made a great pair at development camp and the prospects tournament. A lot to like about his game. His feet are a little heavy but he has improved his skating this year. Reminds me a lot of Boosh and that’s a good thing. The Sabres past couple drafts are looking Ike a big step up in finding quality depth in later rounds. I think it is a combination of analytics and Adams letting all the scouts being heard.

Well Adams is on a signing spree right now (Novikov, Komarov, Okposo)so who knows.

The other things that have hurt Canadian goaltending is the ridiculous move to height bias. How many good young goalies stopped playing when they realized they wouldn’t get looked at because they weren’t over 6’2. Now with Saros, Sorokin, Shesterkin, Levi, Wolf, Thomas Milic, Daniel Hauser we are seeing a trend towards top goaltenders being closer to that 6 foot range again. Also, Canadian teams have used the 2 goalie system in all their development leagues and goalies aren’t getting the reps they used to.

#13, 2nd round pick, UPL for Hellebuyck, #18 would be the type of deal I would go for but I doubt Winnipeg does.

I like the idea of adding him for Game 2. Amerks stuck it to Hershey in Game 1. The Bears will adjust and come back hard tonight. Inserting Savoie gives them something new to worry about tonight. Game 3 in Rochester is something new for Hershey to deal with as it is. This is a good spot to drop him in the lineup.

1) Yes, slow down on Kulich, Rosen and Savoie. Let them marinate 2) I would seriously re evaluate your “tracking” system. If you are watching Rosen in these playoffs and don’t see a future impact player then I really don’t know what you are watching or how you are evaluating. I don’t want him moved at all this summer. I think he explodes in Rochester next year.

Amerks have been going 11 forwards/7 dmen. Could be as simple as adding Savoie and going with 6 dmen tonight. Yea it is a good move. Talent is talent.

Awesome! Hershey had trouble handling the Amerks speed and transition game so let’s add another log on the fire.

There is absolutely no reason Savoie can’t be in the WHL next season. Let’s stop pretending he torched the league for 165 points this year. He doesn’t need to be gifted a spot. Kulich and Rosen can both use more time in Rochester next season. Kulich needs to round out his game, Rosen needs to continue adding weight. The team needs more vet leadership not less.

1 year deal I’ll take it. He means a lot more to those guys on the team then people on messageboards want to admit.

Tanev is growing on me. I know he gets injured but elite defensively, Conroy says they need to get younger in Calgary. If they aren’t moving Hanafin then I hope they would explore Tanev for a year. Sort of a Teppo for Power.

Metsa was a great signing Older (24) and 5’9 but some guys just have it. Captained his college team to a Frozen 4 title and is playing a regular shift for Rochester. He is so solid. He has battled through so much in his career I can see him making the NHL and being a solid contributor.

Kulich didn’t score tonight. Sit him for the higher first round pick next game😜 I doubt Appert changes anything for Game 2. Maybe look at Savoie for Game 3 or 4 in Rochester. Team is really humming along right now. 7 straight wins. Really impressed with Appert, Peca and Weber and how they have these guys playing.

Is Hunter Sheperd the goalie that came to Sabres dev camp years ago. I remember the name.

Murray just told you to stick it😛 2-0

That is a fake account. Not the real Frank
