Robviously Posted January 1, 2018 Report Share Posted January 1, 2018 Borgen and Fitzgerald will likely be in Rochester next year.This is already Borgen's 3rd year at St. Cloud so he's getting close to when he could just stay and test FA. I'd rather they sign him, let him get a couple NHL games in to end this season, and then develop for a year in Rochester. I'd honestly love it if they did that with his teammate Jimmy Schuldt too.

This is apparently their 2nd big trade this week. Pu with Vilardi could be a very dangerous combo. I can see Pu playing with the Sabres sooner than anyone expected. Maybe half a year in the AHL. Guys that come from London usually are prepared to play in the NHL quickly. recent knights drafted forwards (round 1 to 4) prior to becoming full time NHL players: Christian Dvorak 2 AHL games Mitch Marner 0 AHL games Matthew Tkachuk 0 AHL games Max Domi 0 AHL games Bo Horvat 5 Games Chris Tierney 31 AHL games Josh Anderson over 100 Michael McCarron - over 100 AHL games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does CJ and Guhle make the step up along with Ullmark and does Bailey finally claim a place. Is there a future for Fasching and Baptiste or is time now running out for them in Buffalo??

Brawndo Posted January 5, 2018 Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 If Sabres tell Mittelstadt you are going to start in Rochester, I wonder if another year in college would be better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildCard Posted January 5, 2018 Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 If Sabres tell Mittelstadt you are going to start in Rochester, I wonder if another year in college would be better? Don't think he'll leave college for Rochester. I know I wouldn't Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beer Posted January 5, 2018 Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 (edited) Don't think he'll leave college for Rochester. I know I wouldn't I suspect his agent will be advising him to go pro next year. Casey would leave a lot of money on the table by staying in college. I thought I saw something that he could make $3M next year. That assumes he makes it to the big club and max’s out the ELC bonus. This also doesn’t consider any endorsement deals that he will get. He’d also accelerate the time for his “Eichel” contract. College and beer are cool but I think the business side of things is going to point Casey in the direction of going pro regardless of landing in the AHL to start.

Minor point of order, but if he has an agent he's already gone pro. Or else Minnesota is in trouble... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pi2000 Posted January 5, 2018 Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 No way Mittlestadt turns pro next season. He's got at least one more year of college hockey to get ready for the rigors of a full pro season. He's just not there physically yet, you could tell by his play at the WJC... he has a ways to go IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pi2000 Posted January 5, 2018 Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 Was kinda think the same thing... but kid can mitt.. Yes his offensive skills are superb. However, still a lot of immaturity in his game... he tries to dangle every single guy one on one... and at the junior level that might work one out of every 3 or 4 times and it looks sexy when he pulls it off. That stuff doesn't work on NHL players, and we saw against Sweden his turnovers led directly to scoring chances going the other way.... and there were a lot of them.
