LGR4GM Posted December 7, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2022 8 hours ago, Crusader1969 said: I wouldn’t read anything into it at all the team is basically made up of guys drafted in 21 The 5 that were invited who were in 22 draft or draft eligible Bedard and Fantilli ; expected to go #1 and #2 in the 23 draft Reid Schaefer - 6’3 forward to play a role that Savoie wouldn’t / couldn’t play Owen Beck would have a role as a bottom line center and face off specialist but unlikely to make the team Jordan Dumais Who is tearing up the Q and has a chance to be their 13th forward note. - Shane Wright could be loaned out Bottom line is that even though it would be great to see Savoie on team Canada they leaned towards older players (sans Bedard and Fantilli) so there is absolutely nothing to be concerned about We will see what happens in ‘24 Hopefully he has a significant role with the Sabres and they say “no thank you” when Team Canada comes calling I'll bet you Owen Beck makes the team.

Thorny Posted December 7, 2022 Report Share Posted December 7, 2022 Not worried about Matt Savoie in the least. He’s going to be good and we are loaded at C - he’ll definitely carve out a useful NHL role for us + upside. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabres Fan in NS Posted December 7, 2022 Report Share Posted December 7, 2022 9 hours ago, Digger said: WJC is in Halifax area this year. @Sabres Fan in NS do you plan on seeing any the games in person? We are co-hosting with Moncton, New Brunswick. We have hosted in the past and I was a lot younger than and it was a lot of fun. Now, at the approach of 60, my ideas of a fun night have changed a lot. So, no I don't plan to attend any games, but I would love too. Maybe something will happen with a client or something. Many have seasons tickets to the Mooseheads. Not sure if that has any benefit with the WJC. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

French Collection Posted December 13, 2022 Report Share Posted December 13, 2022 One of Kulich’s teammates on the Czech team is G Tomas Suchanek, who was at one or two of the Sabres camps this summer. His numbers in the WHL this year are similar to last season’s but he is getting more wins. I’m going to keep an eye on him. Obviously a project, the Sabres lack G prospects, especially if Portillo goes to UFA. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digger Posted December 17, 2022 Report Share Posted December 17, 2022 (edited) I forgot that Casey's brother Luke was drafted draft eligible. Some familiar names from the draft. I'm looking forward to the WJC. Edited December 17, 2022 by Digger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthEbriate Posted December 19, 2022 Report Share Posted December 19, 2022 Hopefully, Leinonen starts putting it together this season and next in the Liiga and gets onto Finland's 2024 squad. But it isn't promising since Finland's presumable starter Kokko is also only 18 years old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PerreaultForever Posted December 23, 2022 Report Share Posted December 23, 2022 Sweden didn't look very good in their warm up game with the U.S. Doesn't count though of course so maybe they didn't really try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
