Power wasn't strong enough, Quinn and Peterka wasn't strong enough. Dahin his first few years wasn't strong enough. Almost NO Rookie would be strong enough. They rely on skill and speed, Rosen has it all. 5' 11". That is NOT small. First, your assuming Rosen hasn't been working out and Granto hasn't given him a path. I also listen to other people on Podcasts and they all love Rosen to make the team and have touted him as a Leader heading into Amerks Playoffs. He has grown a lot in Leadership and has proven this in the Amerks Playoff run. His tools are better then Kulich's. So I will listen to them first and my own eyes watching Rosen in Amerks Playoffs. Personally I think Rousek will make team first, he is a Two way player and PK. Last point, how did it work bringing in Savoie with no time with Amerks. Savoie flopped. Benched after two losses. Bringing in Amerks when Thompson went down would fail. Even Mitt didn't replace Thompson's production. He did at least keep the 1st line in the mix. We have a whole offseason to upgrade Sabres in trades UFA/RFA's, Rochester, Minors and our own players upgrading skills. If you think Rochester isn't a BIG way for the Sabres to do that then you haven't been a part of the Sabres as long as I have. The 12 years of no playoffs occured because Rochester wasn't part of the Sabres for years and we had no Farm Team local. Takes awhile to build that back up. Amerks have arrived before the Sabres as it should be. Sabres will follow from talent back filing Positions more than trades and freeagency will. Thanks for your time and wisdom

Probably, my guess is if Sabres on Playoff run, Quinn really hasn't established himself as a need back player for success. That isn't dishing him. 1st year player growing. If Sabres are out of playoff run you might see him back.

He was Positive, he gave 3 years. Hell I think we are DUN in ONE Still have a Brain Tumor?

I am hoping he is too good to wait. Haven't really been blown up by Quinn, Peterka and Krebs. I like them but so far they can't carry a Line.

I don't Gamble, you have a Problem with that?

Would Krebs stay on team 4th line Center or rather get traded to team with possible top 9 spot? I would think Krebs wants better chance for his NHL Career.

I like Quinn, hope your right but here is a very good player that got hurt last year. Duclair, 27, missed much of the 2022–23 regular season while recovering from a torn Achilles. The speedy winger racked up nine points (two goals, seven assists) in 20 games Surgery July 2nd 2022 Out 60+ games

can be both

Everything I am readying, be a year for full recovery. Quinn isn't at his peak yet. He can't play at 90%. Thompson moved to wing to play at 80%, Top 10 Center now. This is Bad news. Krebs can't fill winger role either.

Thanks, just updated 3 people.

Rosen and Kulich has something Peterka and Quinn don't have, strong playoff run with wins in AHL series. You only get that playing on strong teams and these two led their team.

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!!!
