And the best part is that none of our best young players/prospects are unlikable pricks😁 They have really assembled a group of young talented high character prospects. Just as important is that there seems to be a real synergy throughout the organization from Adams and the FO to Granato down to Appert, Peca and crew. The next few years should be really exciting watching these kids grow.

Apparently the Sens are going to play with a short bench tomorrow. 3 Sens got hurt vs the Habs and they don’t want to play Sanderson and Pinto tomorrow.

Insane. Raiders fans looked devastated.

So last year the Colts were knocked out of playoff contention by losing to the Jags. Owner Jim Irsay was embarrassed and furious and demanded changes. Today the Colts go into Jacksonville to get revenge and get shutout 24-0.😳 I wouldn’t want to get back on the plane back to Indy.

Why are we still talking about Ullmark? Who cares.

What a comeback for Tua and the Dolphins. Those wide receivers are going to be a problem. Baltimore’s defence doesn’t looks as dominant. All teams in the AFC East have a win now. Let’s get the 2nd win tomorrow Bills.

He has been my biggest pleasant surprise. He is big, plays physical but there is some untapped talent there it looks like. He needs to work on his feet if he is going to play in the NHL one day but him and Lindgren have been a very good pair for two games here, very ying and yang.

I think bringing Rosen over was a great move. Letting Appert, Peca and the crew get a hold of him will do wonders for his development. He is a player with a lot of development runway in front of him. He won’t come in in October and blow the doors off of the AHL, he will probably struggle but as the year goes on I think he will come a long and by the end of the year he will start to take off. It helps a lot that he is now familiar with the Amerks coaching staff and that there will be a big group of talented kids on the Amerks this season that he can fit in with.

I never watched Savoie play in full games. All my knowledge of him was from highlight packs or scouting videos that focused on his skill. watching these two games it has been his work ethic that has impressed me the most. You can see why Adams drafted him because he fits exactly what he wants: high character, fearless, works his tail off all the time. He has seemed solid on face offs and d zone coverage as well.

Full barn full of kids and the Sabres put on a fun show. Everyone looked good tonight. Outside that 5 minute breakdown the Devils really couldn’t play with the Sabres speed and skill. Sova stood out in a good way many times tonight. Someone that knows the rules better can chime in but can the Sabres sign Sova to a contract? I know once the season starts he goes back into next year’s draft. For a team that needs some more d prospects he has looked good in d camp and the first 2 games here. Komarov plays a style that is needed here. For those who are wondering, Konarov’s style is basically what Lybushkin brings to the table. Kulich, Rosen, Kisakov, Cederqvist, Rousek, Weissbach, Kozak are going to be a lot of fun in Rochester.

Don’t do this to me😛

Appert, Peca and Weber are a pretty good team to develop these kids.

Holtz is playing for NJ and scored 2 yesterday. He was taken one pick before Quinn and played last season in the AHL and a few games with NJ as well. Each team looks at this tournament differently. I don’t have a problem with Quinn and JJ not playing but it wouldn’t have been blasphemous if they did.

Levi is 4th. I agree that those guys shouldn’t play and many of the others can’t play because they are with their teams already. The point of posting the article was to give some perspective to the fact that this roster doesn’t truly represent the prospect pool. After following this tournament since its inception I have seen some fans that don’t follow things as closely and come into this thinking that this roster literally represents the prospect corps. If they had lost to Montreal there are some that would post “Well Montreal’s rebuild is already ahead of ours” or that a prospect is a bust because he didn’t explode in his first competitive game in a few months. (And I’m not talking about anyone here😀 I tend to visit a few different boards)

Remember the thing with this tournament is the top picks for each team want to play well but they also have one eye on main camp which starts right after so they also want to get through it unscathed. A lot of the lesser lights shine more because this is their only chance to make an impression and they go all out to try and catch someone’s eye.

Wow, this might be the longest post I have read😁 Montreal will pump anything he does, he is their 1oa pick. He is a huge kid with good hands. I thought Beck and Mesar were better players for them last night but they aren’t as sexy as the #1 pick. He will either learn to keep his head up or his career will go the way Lindros did at the end. I don’t see him putting up big numbers to start but his frame will allow him to play this season in the league.

I disagree about Savoie being very quiet and Rosen being back in Europe. Both had good showings last night for what it’s worth in a summer prospects game.

https://www.expectedbuffalo.com/expected-buffalo-2022-top-25-sabres-prospects-rankings/ Just to put this tournament into perspective, the Sabres are missing 13 of their top 20 prospects, 14 of Bloom is done for the tournament, including their top 4 ranked. Shows that the organization has a lot of depth at this point.

Sabres are playing against the 3 best rosters in Mtl NJ Ott. Hope to see two more efforts like that.

Big time block by Rosen!!

I would bet money that Kozak will be a special Mike Peca project over the next couple years.

Slap a 48 on Savoie’s back and I am watching Danny Briere

Does Adams’ jacket have an all blue logo or was the logo ripped off? Weird

I remember you liked him a lot. I would still take Kulich but Beck is a very good player.

I wouldn’t read too much into this weekend. Most guys haven’t played in a couple months and they have had one real practice as a group. Watch for fun but don’t read a ton into these games.
