Turbo44 Posted April 9, 2023 Report Posted April 9, 2023 He could sign as early as today and play tomorrow.
French Collection Posted April 9, 2023 Report Posted April 9, 2023 I hope he signs. Whether he ends up as a 4D or an 8D, he is a Sabres pick. KA will help his D depth and dispel the idea of NCAA picks shunning this team. 7 1
Buffalonill Posted April 9, 2023 Report Posted April 9, 2023 Adams will give him room doubt he signs now

PASabreFan Posted April 9, 2023 Report Posted April 9, 2023 I predict he'll sign between six and midnight. 4

Broken Ankles Posted April 9, 2023 Report Posted April 9, 2023 3 hours ago, Turbo44 said: He could sign as early as today and play tomorrow. I’d be worried after such a strenuous tournament his play would be flaccid. 1
DarthEbriate Posted April 9, 2023 Report Posted April 9, 2023 Also Huglen. He's only a sophomore on account of missing the season+ with the back injury, but he's already 22 and could likely aid the Amerks as a bottom 6 nicely next season. 1 1
PromoTheRobot Posted April 9, 2023 Report Posted April 9, 2023 Wouldn't a nice Callder Cup playoff run get rid of the bad taste of getting punked by some tiny private college in Connecticut?
Turbo44 Posted April 9, 2023 Author Report Posted April 9, 2023 Johnson is incentivized to sign soon and play a couple of games with the Sabres so he can burn one year of his entry level deal. Wondering if he can sign in a way to burn a year, play a couple of games with the Sabres, then play with Rochester in the Playoffs? if he doesn’t sign at all we still get a 2nd in comp next year 1
pi2000 Posted April 9, 2023 Report Posted April 9, 2023 After facing some stiff competition in the frozen four, Johnson's chances of signing are pointing up. 2

He can't have it both ways. Either play for the Sabres and burn a year, or play for the Rochester in the playoffs. It's a shame. Can you imagine sending Levi down just for the Calder Cup playoffs?

Dr. Who Posted April 9, 2023 Report Posted April 9, 2023 This thread is incorrigible. Fella needs to sign so there can be a champagne celebration. 1

You’re right so I think he’ll get the first option as he holds all the cards 1

Pimlach Posted April 9, 2023 Report Posted April 9, 2023 Even if he signed right now he should not play in a Sabres games until and IF we get eliminated. I hope he signs and has a nice career for us.

DarthEbriate Posted April 9, 2023 Report Posted April 9, 2023 Brock Faber just signed with the Wild, so the au revoir to Gophers is on.

In a perfect world, I want Johnson to make Jokiharju expendable in addition to the team bringing in another solid defender in the off-season to bump the 5 and 6 down a peg. 1 1
