LabattBlue Posted April 22, 2021 Report Share Posted April 22, 2021 Looking at the lineup, how many of these guys are even under contract to the Sabres? 5 or 6? Pekar, Smith, Laaksonen, Fitz & Murray? Maybe Elie? I'm surprised they are competitive at all at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like the Amerks have been hit worse than most but the AHL as a whole has been in tatters this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seth Appert along with Mike Weber and Adam Mair have created a positive work environment down on the farm. Through all the lineup changes and craziness of this season the team has stayed competitive and doesn't quit in games. The prospects you mentioned should get some games before years end for persevering through it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just got to the league atleast, they could still earn some NHL time. When the Sabres are a playoff team again they will need depth throughout the lower leagues and there's a few FAs that could stick a while IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
