Sabres73 Posted April 4, 2023 Report Share Posted April 4, 2023 I think signing a free agent d-man or two is a far better solution than giving up on prospects when we don't even know they're ceiling. Build from within, stay with the plan GM KA. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusader1969 Posted April 4, 2023 Report Share Posted April 4, 2023 just wanted to re-iterate that in his last 13 games (2 playoffs and 11 regular season). Savoie has put up 13G and 19A 32points (2.46 pts/game) (just for comparison - Bedard over the same time frame - 18G and 14A 32 Points) In his last 43 games Savoie has 33G and 43A 1.76 pts/game Sam Reinhart played in 47 WHL games in the year after sabres drafted him (2014/15) and scored at a rate of 1.38pts per game for the ICE. He put up 23G and 19A in his rookie year with the Sabres. I'll be surprised if Savoie is not a Buffalo Sabre next October. 4 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, Savoie isn't going back to juniors impo. No point really. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they'd agree to that, they'd agree to letting him play in Ra-cha-cha IMHO. (And can't see them agreeing to either.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The quebec league (or whatever he plays in) has an agreement with the AHL where he can't go play there as a 19 year old. The have no such agreement with Europe.

The AHL doesn't have the agreement with the CHL, the NHL does. And because of that, in the CBA it states that an NHL team that wants to loan an 18 or 19 year old from the CHL to another team needs to offer the player to his CHL team first before offering him to any other team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But He is very efficient at moving the puck out of the defensive zone and is more of a defensive defenseman Darren Dregier mentioned on Sabres Live on Thursday, the expectation is that He will sign with Buffalo once Minnesota is done. I imagine he plays a week from tomorrow against the Rangers. Not just looking at his points (although at the college level one would like to see more offensive production given his experience - he's been outscored by several defensive teammates). But more so, just that he hasn't really improved significantly from 3 seasons ago. He was honorable mention All Big 10 3 seasons ago; not last year; then honorable mention again this year. In the 2-3 games I've seen he's been decent but not special - which one would hope at that level (probably the 2nd best below the NHL level, after the AHL).

Build from within, stay with the plan GM KA. I agree. We have cap space the next couple of seasons. As I mentioned, I'd like to see us sign a top 4 Defenseman (who is a very good defender) and a strong forward. To add to the mixture of young players. But don't want to give up the young prospects.

If he was in NA he'd been talked about more. Östlund is on par with Kulich in many ways while being physically behind him. I hope he comes to NA next season.
