Flashsabre

Yes but a lot of guys will not participate like Power, McTavish, Beniers, etc as they are training for NHL camps.

WJC tuneup game. Finland beat Czechia 6-4. Kulich had 2 goals and an assist.

Everyone listed on all the prospects lists around the league is just a pile of potential.

I agree. We are at the point of the offseason where the Sabres will be thrown into every UFA signing and trade because they are one of the few teams with cap space to make things happen.

This feels like coming out of the lockout with no one picking the Sabres and them coming out of nowhere. From the outside looking in Buffalo didn’t make a big splash. Their success is predicated on a backup goalie having a great season and a lot of younger player breaking through. That’s fine.

Until they trade for Bjork and sign Eakin they are not last year’s Sabres😀

Browns: “We know we alienated the franchise QB by giving up the farm to aquire the scumbag that will be suspended and by doing so forced us to trade Mayfield and alienate most of the fanbase So to make it up to everyone here is ....Josh Rosen”🤪🤣

The all knowing Eklund is saying Sabres are in on Klingberg on a shorter deal (1-3 years). So this should happen since Eklund is never wrong.😜 Wings just signed Hagg to replace Pysyk. One depth Sabres dman for another.

Good and Good😀

Why would they move any of them? VO was a big part of the offence the parts of the season his wrist wasn’t hindering him. I see him hitting 30+ this season. I think many think this is Mitts “Tage” year where he hopefully stays healthy and breaks out. Krebs goes nowhere that is just silly.

Maybe the Sabres are sweeping in to say “We can give you $8 million but only for a 2 year term” I doubt it though. The Isles have done nothing. I see them as a landing spot. Maybe he has signed there and Lou is not going to announce it until Sept.😀

Are Mersh and MacInnis back?

The other thing to remember is that the Amerks will have 2 teenagers in Rosen and Kisakov trying to break in to the AHL next season. They will have to be coddled especially early. Do they want a 3rd teenager? Three forwards that will have to handled especially cautiously as they break into the league. Something to think about. I do think that Kulich is more physically ready for Roch then Rosen is at this point.

Boucher is American and only 28.

Not great especially if you don’t count Knight as a prospect anymore. People are right. Florida are all in for the next couple years. The problem is this trade weakened them for those two years. Their depth up front is questionable and their D corps is suspect. They have cap problems and are running out of assets to bring in reinforcements. My only Panthers friend is not happy they gave up Huberdeau.

He has no idea what he is talking about. He just wants to be negative to be negative.

Zito has gotten too aggressive and Florida has entered Vegas category. Huberdeau and Weegar will both be UFAs that they couldn’t sign/didn’t want to sign to long term deals at their ages. Calgary will have to flip both so their return isn’t fully developed yet.

$9.5 in Florida would be $11 in most places. I think this trade weakens Florida this year but is better for them long term with Huberdeau and Weegar’s cap situations.

If Terry has his heart set on P Kane then P Kane will be here at some point regardless of what anyone else in the FO wants/thinks.

Good, he always scored against Buffalo. Stay far out west. That is a big loss for the Jackets. LOL on hfboards a Jackets fan stated that a deal for Bjorkstrand would start at Krebs + 1st +. Then he got the 3rd + 4th return dropped on him.😀

Comrie was on Sabres Live today with Duff and Marty. Comrie and Marty are soulmates😁 You cannot not root for Comrie. Great guy and really takes the position seriously and knows a ton about the league and the position. said he skates every summer in California with Miller and he was like a mentor to him. Biron was high on him but after this interview you could tell he was even higher. Most importantly: he chose Blue Cheese with Wings.😀

Hutton also played in a defensive system that allowed him to shine with low danger chances in St. Louis. Hutton also apparently couldn’t see or keep his balance. Those things usually help goalies.😁 I think and hope Comrie does well. He seems like a great guy and teammate. He works his butt off and is at the age that goalies usually hit their prime. Anderson will be a great mentor for him. Best case scenario for the Sabres is Comrie continues his play from last year, Anderson stays healthy and gives solid starts and UPL stays healthy and takes a step in Roch. Post Christmas, UPL pushes for some starts in Buffalo and they gradually pull back on Anderson. Just knowing I won’t have to watch Tokarski play and have that look like he is about to cry on his face after every goal is a big positive for me.

I mean Rochester is in need of a very good vet offensive centre. There are still probably options out there. If they sign one then I think they will be in decent shape. The D corps is improved. UPL and Subban should be an upgrade in net if UPL is healthy and takes a step. The young kids won’t be at Quinn and JJ’s level but hopefully they grow and develop. People hate him but if Bjork is sent down he will be an offensive producer in the AHL.

Chase Coward was invited to Sabres prospect camp but was injured.

I wonder why a reporter would put this out now. Did the Sabres tell him in order to kill the rumour for good or were there behind the scenes negotiations going on.
