LGR4GM Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 (edited) Kris Baker @SabresProspects 24h24 hours agoMore Rasmus Asplund's four-game point streak comes to an end as Färjestad upends Mora 4-1. Asplund (14:22) won 10 of 18 draws (55.6%) Asplund: 3g, 2a, in 5games Kris Baker @SabresProspects 23h23 hours agoMore Oskari Laaksonen through 12 games (Ilves U20): 1-4-5, 18 PIM, -1, 24:26 avg TOI Laaksonen won't be 19 until July. Will be keeping an eye on David Farrance who the Sabres passed over to take Laaksonen as well. Farrance starts his first year with Boston U.

shrader Posted October 16, 2017 Report Share Posted October 16, 2017 This is rather surprising. He had a good camp and is coming off a great season. Wonder what the deal is? The team's record is probably the most telling thing right there. They suck, so he has next to nothing to work with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusader1969 Posted October 16, 2017 Report Share Posted October 16, 2017 (edited) Ive watched a few Knights games and their goalie(s) have been atrocious. both have SV% of less than .900 Actually surprised they are even as high as they are. Mete is on the Canadians, Juolevi sent to Finland to find his game and their #3 Dman Formenton was just sent back to them this weekend but hasnt played. I wonder if Pu was sent back to London on work on certain instructions from the Sabres that may be detrimental to his statistical performance? Much like Samson was sent to work on his strength a couple of years ago. That being said, Pu still creates a lot of chances and his speed is evident. Not too worried about him. 34 shots and only 1 goal - maybe a snake-bit like many Sabres? Edited October 16, 2017 by Crusader1969 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bailey, Mittelstud, Guhle and likely Nylander and Asplund. Not a long list. 2) The list of guys who have a legit shot: Baptiste and Fasching, Borgen (?), Pu and Davidsson. Malone might also eventually get a look as an 4th line grinder. 3) Former top 3 rounds picks who we can probably write off already: Karabacek, Cornel, Hurley and Martin. 4) Potential surprises: Weissbach and maybe Fitzgerald. College FA CJ Smith is having a good start and might be a useful LW. 5) Are goalie prospects are in the ECHL (Johansson) and a tier 2 Finnish league (Luukkonen). Baker list 34 prospects on his depth chart. Edited October 17, 2017 by GASabresFan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorny Posted October 17, 2017 Report Share Posted October 17, 2017 Hagel's got 12 points in 9 games in Red Deer. Speedy left winger, liked him in camp. Would be a good system fit, we'll see if he can amount to something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be a good system fit, we'll see if he can amount to something. I forgot about him as a potential long-shot. Baker has him 3rd on the LW depth behind Nylander and Davidsson. That said Estephen put up (as is putting up) big numbers in Jrs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will really dry up next season once Nylander, Asplund, Mittelstadt, (Svechnikov?, and Guhle all make the Sabres. We always want to compare to Toronto: Here are there top prospects as per an article on Hockey Writers - order is debatable 1) Timmothy Liljegren - probably a NHL player but still considered a tire fire in his own end 2)Kasperi Kapanen – RW/LW - will probably be a top 9 player for them soon 3) Carl Grundstrom – LW probably will end up in the NHL playing but wouldn't consider him top 6 candidate 4) Andreas Johnsson - LW already 22 and is a steal for the 7th round but not again more of a bottom 6 guy 5) Andreas Borgman – LD another 22 year old FA pickup, with Leafs and played in 4 games Jer 6) Calle Rosén – LD 23 year old, played 3 games for Leafs this season 7) Jeremy Bracco - RW with the Marlies - a marginal NHL prospect at this point 8) Travis Dermott – LD lots of high expectations for Dermott, playing with Marlies - could be top 4 IMO, I would take Mittelstadt, Nylander and Guhle over their entire prospect pool, Edited October 17, 2017 by Crusader1969 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGR4GM Posted October 17, 2017 Report Share Posted October 17, 2017 I will bet you money Botterill won't put that many rookies on a team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusader1969 Posted October 17, 2017 Report Share Posted October 17, 2017 sure, as long as its my Canadian dollars on par with your american! lol I will bet that all 4 of those players (barring injury) are on the Sabres opening night roster. I think there is a chance Guhle and Nylander play enough games this year not to be eligible for rookie status next year. WHat is it 25 games?

GASabresIUFAN Posted October 17, 2017 Report Share Posted October 17, 2017 I will bet you money Botterill won't put that many rookies on a team It’s highly unlikely that Asplund makes the Sabres in his first season in NA without spending some time in Roch. We’ll also have to see how the big prospects progress. However, Crusader is right about there being a large number of jobs available next season. Without even knowing how this season will play out, there are 12 guys (RFAs and UFA’s) on the current Sabres roster including 7 forwards, 3 D and both goalies. I also wouldn’t put much stock in Moulson or Bogo returning next season either. Potentially all 14 of those jobs might be a available.

True, Id probably take Mittelstadt, Kapanen and Liljegren over the entire pool even if you put Nylander and Guhle on the Leafs. but still give the nod to Nylander / Guhle over Kapanen / Liljegren but i'll admit it could go either way. So how many ufas are there? 7 UFA's and 5 RFA's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crusader1969 Posted October 17, 2017 Report Share Posted October 17, 2017 So he has potentially 7 spots if he let's all ufas go. Interesting Kane is the only one that I could see returning. Nolan, Josefson, Gorges, Faulk, Pouliot and Johnson are the others. Griffith is an RFA and would doubt he gets a contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
