Randall Flagg Posted December 6, 2016 Report Share Posted December 6, 2016 9-15-23 needs to stop. One nice play against the Rangers versus four games of getting hemmed in otherwise. These players can be utilized so much better.I'm not even married to 15-23 anymore.48 - 90 - 23 28 - 15 - 21 9 - 22 - 82 26 - 27 - 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eleven Posted December 6, 2016 Report Share Posted December 6, 2016 9-15-23 needs to stop. One nice play against the Rangers versus four games of getting hemmed in otherwise. These players can be utilized so much better. I'm not even married to 15-23 anymore. 48 - 90 - 23 28 - 15 - 21 9 - 22 - 82 26 - 27 - 12 1. Do not with the ROR line. 2. Why in the world would Will Carrier belong on any top line on any NHL team? 3. You have two centers on each of the top two lines. 4. You are putting Moulson and Gionta together with Derek Grant, which is just asking for your fourth line to get its ass kicked. 5. You have two ham-handed forwards playing with the best puck-carrier on the team (that's still Kane, although Eich will take that over by the end of the year.) You're killing me, Smalls.

Randall Flagg Posted December 6, 2016 Report Share Posted December 6, 2016 1. Do not ###### with the ROR line. This is fair to want to keep them together. 2. Why in the world would Will Carrier belong on any top line on any NHL team? Come on, man. He's not the driver of the line. Neither is Dan's alternative, Moulson. Panik, Brunette, and guys like them have played 1st line ice time with Toews on cup-winning teams. Carrier has been doing fine opening up space for ROR and KO. Wasn't he out there with them for the goal tonight? 3. You have two centers on each of the top two lines. Uh...The centers in my lineup are the same as they are right now and have been since Jack came back. 4. You are putting Moulson and Gionta together with Derek Grant, which is just asking for your fourth line to get its ass kicked. Yes. We've seen much worse both this season and last. 5. You have two ham-handed forwards playing with the best puck-carrier on the team (that's still Kane, although Eich will take that over by the end of the year.) KO-Zem is net-even with Sam-Kane in terms of hands with Eichel. You're killing me, Smalls. Quite frankly, I don't understand most of your points, my friend!

GASabresIUFAN Posted December 7, 2016 Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 Anyone else surprised the Pu didn't get a whiff on the Canadian Jr roster given his performance this year? There are 7 other forwards drafted in the 3rd round or later invited to camp some of which aren't having as good a year as Pu. Happy for Casey however. So who are our top prospects right now? 1) Nylander 2) Guhle Then whom? You have the wingers AHL Bailey, Baptiste, Fasching and Carrier in a group Then you have the next group of younger forward in Pu, Asplund and Estephan Where do goalies like Petersen and Ullmark fit in. How about D Fitzgerald or Borgen? I think these are the top 13 overall. Then maybe Hurley and Cornel. Anyone I'm missing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGR4GM Posted December 7, 2016 Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 Victor Olofsson http://www.eliteprospects.com/player.php?player=86308 He should definitely be in the conversation for top 15 Sabres prospects and maybe even top 10.

Carrier is playing on the top line in Buffalo and has played 16 games this year. I think he's in a tier above the others mentioned in that sentence.

dudacek Posted December 7, 2016 Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 (edited) Carrier is playing on the top line in Buffalo and has played 16 games this year. I think he's in a tier above the others mentioned in that sentence.He's got two points and is averaging nine minutes a game.Baptiste put up similar numbers is his 12 games, Fasching was the one who made the team out of training camp and Bailey was the favourite six months ago. I'd say none of them has really separated from the pack yet. Edited December 7, 2016 by dudacek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derrico Posted December 7, 2016 Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 Fair. I didn't realize he was playing such low minutes. He has impressed me thus far though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a great development camp here and several analysts i've read over the summer think he'll be the steal of the draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GASabresIUFAN Posted December 9, 2016 Report Share Posted December 9, 2016 Has anyone else noticed the big improvement in nearly all our college players? Judd Peterson (St Cloud) 2015-16 38gm 16g 7a 23pts 2016-17 14gm 7g 4a 11pts Sean Malone (Harvard) 2015-16 27gm 10g 9a 19pts 2016-17 11gm 8g 6a 14pts Tony Florentino (Providence) 2015-16 31gm 5g 7a 12pts 2016-17 12gm 5g 5a 10pts Chris Brown (BC) 2015-16 41gm 2g 9a 11pts 2016-17 19gm 6g 10a 16pts Connor Hurley (ND) 2015-16 36gm 6g 12a 18pts 2016-17 16gm 4g 11a 15pts Max Willman (Brown) 2015-16 29gm 3g 8a 11pts 2016-17 10gm 4g 3a 7pts Ivan Chukarov (UMass - Amherst) 2015-16 36gm 3g 5a 8pts 2016-17 14gm 1g 3a 4pts Will Borgen (St Cloud) 2015-16 37gm 1g 13a 14pts 2016-17 14gm 1g 8a 9pts Casey Fitzgerald (BC) 2015-16 39gm 4g 23a 27pts 2016-17 18gm 5g 8a 13pts Granted they are all a year older, but history says not everyone gets better, yet at least statistically all our college prospects, both F & D, have improved offensively at least. I'm very excited about the progress of Brown, Hurley, and Fitzgerald. I'm also interested to see if Malone and Florentino have done enough to earn a contract from the Sabres. We could really use a physical and defensive D like Florentino who can actually skate well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudacek Posted December 9, 2016 Report Share Posted December 9, 2016 (edited) I also don't remember the Sabres having so many guys in college. Lot of third and fourth year guys; not all of them will get contracts - too many picks, not enough room. Cal Petersen is likely coming out too and he will get an offer. Always liked Malone as a Torrey Mitchell type - fast and fiesty. Edited December 9, 2016 by dudacek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect GMTM to unload a few of those contracts before the season is up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
