So there in NOT a Consensus on Kulich, Rousek, Rosen, Savoie, Benson, Östlund These Players have all been projected up and rising in stock for Top 9 players Krebs maybe for 4th line. Not a Winger. Just doesn't score goals. Middlestat, fine player, two way now but just doesn't score goals. So OK Jost was a Waiver a RFA now. I really don't see how it changes anything. he will come cheap for a 4th line player who plays two positions.

This is all about 24 and beyond. Talking about money available after that to sign Middlestat. It will take at least 6 mil/yr to sign a 60 pt guy. I say there is no room for Middlestat with the Prospects we have.

No Achilles injury takes 6-12 months for full recovery to play Sports Krebs AHL 21-22 18 games 4 goals and 11 Assists +3 Kulich AHL 22-23 62 games 24 goals 22 assists -7 So 3.44X game rate for Kulich Krebs has in 62 games 13.76 goals 38 Assists 21 of these assists are A2's Krebs has 3 AHL seasons and the last one in Rochester Take 24 goals Kulich to a Projected 14 goals for Krebs any day of the week. https://www.ahltracker.com/skaters/8503 https://theahl.com/stats/player/9502/77/jiri-kulich

You don't control my Posting and Dahlin is getting signed in less then a week.

So Dahlin will be 10Mil/yr And Power Bridge deal 6mil/year Down to 8 mil and you need 4th Defensive player. You know MATH? https://www.hockeyfeed.com/nhl-news/dahlin-reportedly-signs-80-million-deal https://sabrenoise.com/2023/06/11/options-buffalo-sabres-owen-powers-contract/

How far has Quinn and Peterka gone in AHL playoffs?????? How many Playoff Points??????

"They don't play in the same league! This is like arguing that Benson is better than Tage Thompson. " Wow so a Minor League player comparison to a Top 10 Center in the NHL is the same as comparing a player Krebs with 30 PTS to Player in AHL with more points then Krebs that has gone deep in the Playoffs????

Taking a Player at 14th pick just a few years ago with Power means Adams Loves him to fit in current Roster he is building. Neither Krebs or Middlestat are Adam picks. Middlestat was a 2nd center and failed past Regime. Fine player but he will be too expensive when you have guys like Savoie, Benson, Rosen, Rousek, Kulich and even Krebs for that matter in the wing. Krebs is a fine player but yet has proved he can generate enough PTS and he can't play Wing. So who goes? Have Jost and Greenway too, Adams traded for both. Still have Victor Olfosson with 28 goals. Remove that how far off are you from Playoffs? Who gets the 28 goals for sure??? Quinn will be out till Midseason now, Achilles.

Not all Great at AHL level, Krebs has struggled there

He is 5'11" with the same skating, passing and scoring skills. His frame can get to 200#'s. Quinn now will lose 6 months time Achilles Injury

CHL Expeditions before. Marty Biron stated there is a path, has to do with Savoie playing first 9-10 games with Sabres, he then can go to Amerks for Conditioning Assignment, goes back to minors then. Biron said he then could permanently go to the Amerks before end of year. Just stated this I believe in Yesterday's Podcast of Sabres Live. As for Cap Space, Dahlin is going to eat up a lot this year with 11+ million long term contract shortly. Powers Might get full contract too but most likely a Bridge Contract. Soon will have to up all the young talent Contracts too of Quinn, Peterka, Levi, etc.... There will be no long term contract for Middlestat, next contract for Middlesat would be minimum 6+ mil/yr

"Quickly on the bold, if this means the World Jrs than no they did not. Kulich won a silver medal. If it means the World Championship, Kulich wasn't there. " The Point is they are scoring at a High level where they are. Exact same thing Quinn and Peterka did after 1 year at Amerks. Sabres missed playoffs by 2 pts after being key contributors on top 3 lines. You could say Kulich has done better than both. https://www.amerks.com/news/detail/kulich-rosen-returning-to-rochester-following-world-juniors

I see, Krebs and Middlestat have been leading Sabres to Playoffs past two years? Rosen has more goals then either in 2022-2023 with playoffs and Worlds. Past year Kulich and Rosen have led their team to the Playoffs and scored. Went to the Worlds and led their teams and also Scored, Kulich won the Championship! Not saying those players are NOT good but there is no room for them after this year. Guarantee you Kulich and Rousek are in the Sabres future. Rosen could be trade bait but I know for a fact Adams loves him, was picked 14th. Proven he can score in the AHL from Mid season on. By the way, that is what Quinn did too!!!

Didn't say bring him up now, leaving room to grow. Has a FULL offseason to Build on 5'11" frame. Have a Full NHL camp. He can go down to the Amerks and start the Season but there are things Amerks can do to get Savoie to the Amerks, there is a path there. Bet Savoie in Amerks by Mid-season. Krebs is not a Sabres drafted player and Middlestat, Sabres can't afford to resign. That still stands for Peterka, Krebs

Rosen went to the Playoffs and scored, Went to the Worlds and scored. Kulich went to the palyoffs and scored. Went to the Worlds and won the whole thing.

Is highly skilled with strong skating, a strong shot, and elite puck skills., EPRinkside.com 2021 A true playmaker. Very good technical skills. Exceptional at reading the game., Anders Eriksén (HC) 2020 the kind of (speedy) forward that can shoot off the rush when given enough gap and still be first on the loose puck that may result.., Draftin Europe 2020 https://www.amerks.com/news/detail/isak-rosen-season-in-review

Rosen is ready and needed, he is going nowhere. Just by admitting he is different than Quinn makes him useful for Sabres. Savoie/Benson are NOT NHL ready right now, Rosen is. Savoie or Benson can develop on Sabres but that is NOT what Sabres are doing now. Rochester is up to speed now and the perfect place to develop, hour down the road. There are 3 players who have some trade value that if moved creates space for three player. Move Krebs, Olofsson, Middlestat at some point and bring up Rousek, Kulich and Rosen at some point this year Permanently.

5' 10" isn't small but you have my attention at 6' Benson's skills make him a Much better player then Musty at 6'2" right now Personally I would still take Musty cause you just can't create Size and skill. Take 6 - Tuch's for top 2 lines and beat everyone not name 6 - Crosby, McDavid.

Have to be able to spell it close for spell check to work AWESOME

Not going to lose in UFA. By that time you will trade young players 26-28 for Draft picks again. Continuous flow of Talent if you don't miss on too many. Benson was BEST AVAILABLE pick, need would have been Sandin Pellikka or Quentin Musty.

No playoffs with two Rookie lines

Guys I keep are Kulich, Rosen, Rousek and Savoie or Benson. I expect 1-2 of these guys to be on Sabres for Playoffs. Can trade anyone else not on top 2 lines.

Kid could be 6' 200#'s in 1-2 years

Rosen is going nowhere, might be better than any of these other players and Sabres can own him for quite awhile. Rosen is also NHL ready

Trade baby trade Blue Light has never killed anyone
