I would think there is a spot as a 4th liner, or worst case a 13th forward in the NHL. If not, my guess is he heads back to Sweden next season.

I hope if Greenway ends up on a top 6 line, that he doesn't bring down the offensive capabilities of his line mates. I like him much more in a bottom 6 role.

90 seconds per pick. I am pretty sure draft order is released either day before or a few hours before. I will keep an eye on it, and relay the information as timely as possible.

Draft will be this Thursday 10/5 at 9PM(Eastern Time). Will sent out message via the league website shortly. @LabattBlue @North Buffalo @steveoath @Andrew Amerk @Norcal @pastajoe @Two or less @Lanny @gilbert11 @French Collection @TheAud @Curt

I know everyone will not be accommodated, but any draft night preference 10/4, 10/5 or 10/9? Probably start at 9PM. Takes about 90 min.

Way way back in the day at ECC, I took Cobol, RPG, Fortran & Assembler. Sorry to hijack. 😈

Rick Dudley says hello.

Did you see the comeback today? Buy tickets or this team is good as gone. Welcome to Houston Zach Benson and Devon Levi.

I think the PTO guys are players signed to Amerks contracts, and then the PTO is needed for them to be part of training camp. Maybe?

The Jacksonville team isn’t owned by Pegula, correct?

Wow!!!!

Agree.

I wonder how much ST & box office prices have gone up in the last 5-6 years? After 12 years of crap, fans need more than “look at all our prospects”. Only winning will bring the fans back in numbers.

What does this have to do with Johnson getting PP time with the Amerks? 🤔

He can’t do the above, and be on one of the PP units? We will agree to disagree.

This makes absolutely ZERO sense to me. If Johnson is the best option to be on the PP for the Amerks, then put him out there.

I have a bad feeling that Bryson makes the 23 man roster. 😱

I would think that Amerks training camps starts Sunday or Monday. At that point, the players left in Sabres camp is whittled down to 30 or so.

No and I hope not.

I know he has no future as an NHL’er, but in one 15 sec span in his own zone in the 2nd period, Weissbach was in spitting distance of the puck carrier 3 times, and each time made no attempt to play the body or puck. If I was the HC, I’m leaving him behind. 😂

That clip should be on a continuous loop during next contract negotiation. 😂😂😂

Not sure what fancy stats they are referencing, but holy cow! Excerpt from an Athletic team preview of the Sabres… We’ll be quick about this: Thompson, for all his offensive gifts, could be one of the least effective defensive players in the league. Like, bottom five. Sixth from the basement, specifically. One team analyst compared his play to the legendary Alex Ovechkin/disconnected Xbox controllerGIF. Thompson’s overall projected Defensive Rating is, in fact, below 38-year-old Ovechkin’s. It’s below Patrick Kane’s. It’s also too close to too many of his teammates’ — Skinner, JJ Peterka, Cozens and Henri Jokiharju are all in the bottom 30 as well, among waves of Anaheim Ducks and Montreal Canadiens and Columbus Blue Jackets. For a team with playoff aspirations, that’s a terrible sign. Granato is a good coach who seems to be facing a clear challenge: getting his team to tighten up in one end, at least a little, without sacrificing its identity. Given their other year-over-year improvements, it’s possible. It’s also necessary, especially in an Atlantic Division featuring a couple of other on-the-rise teams.

I often wonder why during the preseason, that the coaches don’t try and field comparable rosters that would provide for better player evaluations.

I was really hoping for a discounted season rate if signing up between now and the start of the season, but alas, does not seem to be in the cards. I guess that means another year of Spectrum for this WNY’er, instead of a switch to YTTV. 😞

I didn't hear back, so I opened his spot up. Congrats to him!
