But last year right after he chose to return to school and I said he wasn't going to sign, I got a lot of blow back. Half this board was screaming at the “pessimistic” thought of Portillo leaving. Saying people were bad fans for thinking it. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
French Collection Posted January 10, 2023 Report Share Posted January 10, 2023 Olivier Nadeau has started playing again after his summer shoulder surgery. He has played 6 games for Gatineau, in the Q tallying 3G and 3A. He had a good playoff run last year despite the shoulder problem. Another few months to develop and we could see him in Rochester later. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthEbriate Posted January 13, 2023 Report Share Posted January 13, 2023 Just a midseason perusing of points-per-game and Sabres prospects... No surprises for Richard leading his team in the USHL, Savoie, Bloom... and then there's Viljami Marjala, posting 1.83 ppg in Finland's U20 Liiga (and 2 points in 4 games for TPS in the Liiga). That is a bit of a surprise. Two OK seasons in the QMJHL, went back home across the pond and is among the U20 scoring leaders. While he might never come back across the Atlantic, it's good to see that they identified some talent for a forgotten 5th rounder, and he could carve out a solid Liiga career. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Utah Posted January 14, 2023 Report Share Posted January 14, 2023 On 1/9/2023 at 1:08 PM, French Collection said: Savoie has 41 points after 30 games this season. He has heated up and is near last year’s pace. If he continues to track upwards and scores better than last year plus his team going deep into the playoffs he will get plenty of development at that level. He also had off season shoulder rehab, so that may have contributed to a slower start. Can he play for the Amerks in their playoffs? With a good summer he may compete for a spot at camp. Getting a 9 game look would help him and the team figure out where he is at in the development curve. I don’t know if there is any benefit to what the Kraken did with Shane Wright (play 8 games, scratched 20ish games, 5 game AHL conditioning stint, released to WJs and sent back to Junior hockey.) Dont forget that Savoie plays on a very stacked team in Winnipeg. They are loaded and ranked #1 in Canada. I think they will go deep so not much time to spend in Rochester. Players like Bloom, Nadeau, Lindgren and Komarov will probably exit their season much quicker and have a chance to jump into the playoffs in Rochester if required and/or good enough. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Know pros have to be in the AHL on trade deadline day to play in the AHL playoffs. Pretty sure, but not positive, Juniors & NCAAers also need to be on the roster that day to play in the playoffs.

Pretty sure this isn’t true, bloom was signed last season and was playoff eligible for the Amerks after his season ended, he didn’t end up playing though.

Flashsabre Posted January 16, 2023 Report Share Posted January 16, 2023 Savoie with 4+7=11 points in his last 5 games. Winnipeg and about 3 other teams are absolutely stacked out West so it will be interesting to see how the playoffs go. Should be a long run for the ICE. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GASabresIUFAN Posted January 24, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2023 You have to think that Savoie getting left off the Canadian Jr team has given him some motivation to elevate his game. Can you say wake up call? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
