Taro T Posted June 20, 2023 Report Share Posted June 20, 2023 4 minutes ago, Brawndo said: Not surprising, but good to see. Expect he'll get some time with the big club this year. Just now, Brawndo said: Wonder what the AHL salary will be? Hoping he got a healthy bump while he continues to earn an opportunity to get a good chunk of that $775k.

DarthEbriate Posted June 20, 2023 Report Share Posted June 20, 2023 I like it. Two years to solidify from 12/13F to contributing bottom 6 fixture. Listed as 171# on this release. I'm guessing his training camp weight is a bit higher than that. He feels sturdier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ctaeth Posted June 21, 2023 Report Share Posted June 21, 2023 First year two way. Second year one way. Sounds like they plan on him definitely being on the team next year. Maybe planning on intentionally bringing him up with kulich (the two czechs) in the same year? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zamboni Posted June 21, 2023 Report Share Posted June 21, 2023 So who will he “replace” in 24-25? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doohickie Posted June 21, 2023 Report Share Posted June 21, 2023 It will be viewed as a brilliant signing when he scores 25 goals this year. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming Rousek is a third liner, this would mean we are IN BUSINESS come playoff time next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As he projects to be a 3/4 liner, 20 goals is the minimum acceptable number. The Sabres will never be good otherwise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He probably starts the year in Rochester. so we get to see Rousek, and probably Kulich and Savoie this year. I am still hoping they acquire a bottom 6 NHL vet that can help defensively and on the PK. It is getting crowded with KO and ZG back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will let Rousek try to win a spot so I think and I have felt this, they feel good about the forwards and will focus on improving the defense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is too much smoke and it makes far too much sense for that NOT to be the case. The question becomes does a goalie become available that Adams believes makes sense to bring in to pair with Levi over the 2 guys they currently have. Hoping the answer is the same as for the D, but it is less of a certainty. And there are guys that make sense to bring in via UFA, trade, or offer sheet. Just pick one and make it happen Mr. Adams.
