The owners kids spend time and/or have an open invite to both Adams and Beane? 🤔 Sounds like the GM’s either like wasting time in their already busy and long days, or they don’t want the Pegula kiddies crying to mommy and daddy that Mr GM isn’t playing nice with them. 😂😂😂

So what is his role?

Per Marty & Duff… Sean Malone not ready for training camp…guy just can’t stay healthy…even in the offseason

Training camp schedule, and if sessions will be open to the public? (crickets chirping)

Still no training camp schedule, and which practices will be open to the public. Was hoping to attend at least one. Am I asking too much considering camp starts tomorrow? 😞

I am not sure if UPL can become a #1 in the AHL, let alone a competent full time NHL backup playing 20-30 games a year.

I wonder if Suchanek was offered a training camp invite, but turned it down?

The Bills win was enjoyable. The fantasy loss, not so much.

Oops. Then I read that wrong. My mistake.

Aren’t the number of preseason games, and when and where they occur, up to the teams involved?

Cederqvist was really impressive, and hopefully can be a solid middle six winger in 2-3 years.

Not sure what made me happier… Tanny getting pulled halfway thru the 3rd quarter or Vrabel’s puss face shown over and over again in the 2nd half

Saw Terry at the game. Probably made a beeline to the stadium immediately afterwards. I have to say this about him…his passion for the Sabres still seems to be intact…even with the Bills playing in primetime the same day.

No training camp schedule or roster yet? Doesn’t it start this week?

It will all come down to the vets signed for the Amerks.

I agree. Extra incentive…sign a contract, and stay for training camp!

Not saying I doubt you. Just surprising

Wow. If so, I’d be shocked

I think the biggest problem filling the arena again, is the box office price of tickets. When you have 15k-16k in STH, and you only have a few thousand to sell at high box office prices…not a problem. When your STH base is 6k-7k(I’m guessing), that is a whole lot of tickets to sell $$$.

Did Weber steal your girlfriend, kick your dog, or both?

Anyone know what scores(boxscores) were for yesterdays games?

Watching the Baron could be must see TV.

I was shocked at the number of scouts at the game last night. I am guessing around 30. Then again, I guess it doesn’t get any easier for them, when you have prospects for 5 or 6 teams together for games over a long weekend.

Went to the game. A few notes… - Montreal definitely more physical. Cederqvist threw a few nice checks, and 88 had 1 or 2, but other than that not much. - Savoie very quiet. - I predict Rosen will be back in Europe at the end of his ELC, or even earlier. - Both Sabres goalies were decent for being camp invitees. - Passolt seemed to catch my eye more than 1 or 2 times. As far as the HarborCenter goes… -Leaving the ramp, you are heading from the 4th to the 3rd floor, big overhead sign reads “no right turn”. I make a left along with several cars in front of me…blocked off dead end. 😡 - Two bathrooms, and the one by the “team officials” box is blocked off. All they have to do is put a security person by the door to the box and leave corridor open. Nope…must be treated like royalty. - Mentioned prior to the game it is great to stand along the glass behind the net. Went down there for the 3rd period, and was told to move by security. I asked if he meant move back a few feet, and said no, can’t stand down here at all. Why? He says “I don’t know, they don’t tell me why”.😞 - Packed house, and one of 4 concession areas open, and only 3 people staffing that one. Looks like Southern Tier also took over the concessions and may have bit off more than they can chew. Might go back Monday as it is a 1PM start and should not be as crowded

So are the “invitees” all eligible to be signed to a contract, or are they potential draftees based on DoB?
