It's #Sabres or Finland. Would have liked the 2nd sentence to be more along the lines of he's too good to not make the final roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost of Dwight Drane Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 ###### great Meanwhile.....in Dallas, the 235lb Russian Bear is signed on for 3 years..... Hopefully this means nothing.

If you don't mind.... That's nice why do we care? Because we could have drafted him? We didn't because I bet his work ethic is spotty and I think his skills are likewise spotty. I like ristolainen regardless of what nichushkin does. I am sure that Ristolainen will be given the oppurtunity to make the team and sign a 3yr entry level deal. It sounds like he is quite good from what I have heard out of development camp this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not so sure on the AHL thing. Guess we'll know soon enough: @kevinoDandC #Sabres said last week that Rasmus Ristolainen had no contractual obligations in Finland. He says he does. Hoping for definitive word today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PASabreFan Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 Lots of Darcy picks turn out to be deuces..... Nice to see Ted Black's son playing center. Paging special prosecutor PA.... Maybe I'm missing the joke. His son is a Sabres prospect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattPie Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 Cool. As long as he belongs there, fine. He's over a PPG, but not exactly a prime league. I'd guess he's filler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carpandean Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 Anyone know if there's a restriction on cameras? If someone wants to bring their collection of big white (fast pro) zooms can they or is just compacts and camera phones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattPie Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 A friend works in the EJHL. I'll get his opinion on Black. I'd be curious about the level of the league, too. EDIT: Nevermind, looked it up. Two levels below USHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrader Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 I'd be curious about the level of the league, too. EDIT: Nevermind, looked it up. Two levels below USHL. They have produced their fare share of players though. The two most recent first rounders that come to mind are Girgensons and Charlie Coyle. They're a feeder to the USHL and NCAA mostly. Anyway, is he definitely Ted's son or was it a joke? My friend wasn't aware of that link. But anyway, league MVP as voted on by the coaches, so it seems like an earned spot.

When I first saw his kid was on one of the teams, I had a "you gotta be Shtn me" moment. But at least you can argue merit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, they always throw a couple spots to a "higher profile" local kid, so that's about all there is to see here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
