Except Samuelsson is Risto size and doesn’t skate as well as McCabe. I think he’ll be a fine NHL player. These same commentators said McCabe was a third pairing guy and he has grown into a top pairing shutdown guy. I’m not saying Samuelsson will reach that level but he’ll be solid in our zone, makes us so much harder to play against and add McCabe like offense. We could do worse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it’s positioning but I think McCabe is a better skater then people give him credit for. From my limited viewing of Samuelsson in international play and a few college games he looks fine but I don’t see him outskating many people. I also wouldn’t have placed Johnson over him in the ratings. I was surprised that Weissbach was so highly rated. He seemed to take a step back last year. However I looked at his season Ytd and he seems to have found his game again. I also can’t wait for Pekar to completely prove Wheeler wrong.

When he plays and NHL game, he won't be noticeable because he his package doesn't work... Deeply concerning for such a young man.

What else do you call the guy who plays around 20 minutes a night with no PP time that the coaches put on the ice in key defensive situations. He is starting 58% of the time in our zone. This is a trend that started under PH and RK continues today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once he realized that he didn't have to kill someone by hitting them every chance he had, and stopped making that one WTF play a game, he's been really solid.

I guess on if you mean that as an assessment of the quality of the player or an assessment of the usage of the player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCabe certain can fit into Krueger’s play style, like hand in glove. He was solid last year as well. Dependable. I just was slightly taken aback at seeing him described as a top pair guy. I don’t think of him as that quality of player. Maybe I need to watch him closely and think on this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torpedo Forecheck Posted March 27, 2021 Report Share Posted March 27, 2021 (edited) Eight Candidates for the Sabres Eventual Top 3 selection in the 2021 Draft - Die By The Blade God I love Matty Beniers. Watch his video, just a dog on the puck in the middle of ice, and fabulous phone booth puck control and quickness. Ralph is gone so his patience approach won't ruin dis guy, let's hire someone who appreciates his style now and draft him.
