Are u playing dumb or are u dumb? 

 

Not one single healthy player that loves hockey want to play for this trash org, that would supprise me. Lol.. its all showbizz with players that want to come to Sabres. Thinking otherwise would be quite foolish.

I can read.

[Linus Ullmark: signs with Boston Bruins]

They only want players who want to be here.

It's showing.

[Who’s the goalie tandem in 21-22???]

Hagg and Samuelsson

He's a bottom pair D-man but at least he's a right shot. Slots right in after Jokijarju and Miller 

He'd be top pair in Rochester, I'm just not sure what they're going to do with all these defensemen.

[LHD Will Butcher and 5th round pick in 2022 traded to Buffalo from NJD]

Sabres  acquire Dman Will Butcher and 5th round from the Devils for future considerations.

[The Sabres make the playoffs in 2021-22 because:]

Hell freezes over.

[Reinhart traded to Florida for G Devon Levi (7th rd pick in 2020) and a lottery protected 1st in 2022.]

A lottery protected first rounder, what a joke. Couldn't get Florida to drop that even though they just finished 37-14-5 in a 56 game season.

[Getting to know Devon Levi]

Probably 4 to 6 years away from being an NHL starter, if he gets that far in his career. I'm not being negative about him, this is just the usual timeline for goalie prospects. 

This includes 2 to 3 years at the college level,  a couple years in the AHL  as a backup and eventual starter and then some time in the NHL as a backup. 

 

 

[The Russian Are Coming! Well maybe, possibly sometime in the future and other Draft Thoughts.]

I'm beginning to think that one of their 4 scouts got stuck in Russia for the pandemic.

[When will we know the Reinhart return?]

Too soon.

What would they possibly have to offer 

Carey Price and a 1st in 2030 and 2031

[Pick #33: LW/RW Prokhor Poltapov]

He's actually a very good straight line skater, whether from a stop or from cruising speed, he is very quick to get to top speed. His tunnel vision is more of a result of not being a great skater going into turns and not great using cross overs coming back out of turns.

Labeling someone as not a good skater means many things, but don't let this lead people to think this kid isn't an explosive fast north south skater.

[Is Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen Our Second Goalie Next Season?]

First they need their starter and an idea of how many games they plan on using him. Then they can decide what they need as a backup. I'm not expecting it to be UPL.

[Expansion draft timeline and roster freezes]

The Sabres will be losing in a trade with some of their better players shortly, I wouldn't sweat the expansion draft.
