LGR4GM Posted September 23, 2023 Report Share Posted September 23, 2023 Simple question, let's say 1 of them will make the Sabres roster this October, which is it and why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rasmus_ Posted September 23, 2023 Report Share Posted September 23, 2023 Kulich has some jam, a good shot and cam draw down the middle. He got noticeably bigger. I think his game fits more on lines two or three. Regarding Rosen, who also got noticeably bigger has really impressed. Could I see him making the team. Sure. I just think Kulich makes so much more sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Posted September 23, 2023 Report Share Posted September 23, 2023 I believe Kulich is the best prospect in the system. What he did last year in the A at his age has never been done before. Had an excellent playoff run in the A, and outside the NHL that is the stiffest competition. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GASabresIUFAN Posted September 23, 2023 Report Share Posted September 23, 2023 In truth neither, but Kulich has a better shot. He still needs work on his play away from the puck and Rosen needs to show he can score more consistently. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveoath Posted September 23, 2023 Report Share Posted September 23, 2023 I don’t believe either will make it this soon. I think Rousek will take the spot. Out of those two it’s hard to look past Kulich, but I think another year in the AHL to help work on defensive side of his game is needed. now if Olofsson is traded, then it’s open season for either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll disagree with this Benson is obviously the number 1 prospect in the system 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
French Collection Posted September 23, 2023 Report Share Posted September 23, 2023 I also think Rousek makes it first due to his age, maturity and more well rounded game. Between Rosen and Kulich, I chose Kulich because he looks physically stronger than Rosen despite being younger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He still needs work on his play away from the puck and Rosen needs to show he can score more consistently. I agree with you that in all likelihood neither will make this roster coming out of camp. But what's encouraging is that it is not out of the realm of possibility that one of the high-end prospects shows enough in camp to get some introductory time when the season starts. That in itself demonstrates progress in stocking the system. If I was forced to answer @LGR4GM question I would say Kulich, and it wouldn't be shocking if Benson was also considered.

Night Train Posted September 23, 2023 Report Share Posted September 23, 2023 Rosen was my guess but others have a shot. I'll let camp run it's course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brawndo Posted September 23, 2023 Report Share Posted September 23, 2023 Rosen, as of right now His Game is more well rounded, Kulich needs some more time to work on the defensive side of the puck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt Posted September 23, 2023 Report Share Posted September 23, 2023 Probably neither. I voted Kulich because he seems more physically developed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I listened to the Maintenance Day podcast this morning while walking the dogs. They believe Rousek has the spot locked up. They made a compelling argument for it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGR4GM Posted September 23, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2023 Rousek isn't part of this. Why? Because he's older and everyone would probably pick him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carmel Corn Posted September 23, 2023 Report Share Posted September 23, 2023 Before the camp, I would have said Kulich, but now I lean toward Rosen. For some reason I thought his game looked more rounded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashsabre Posted September 23, 2023 Report Share Posted September 23, 2023 Rousek’s Spot is 13th forward Who can come in during injuries, kill penalties and fill in where needed in the bottoms 6. That is not the same spot Kulich or Rosen would fill. They would need to play with offensive players in offensive roles. They would have a shot if VO is shipped out and Kane not signed. Skinner Tage Kulich Greenway Mitts Tuch JJ Cozens Rosen if both blew the doors off in camp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering Rousek (and Murray too) is being given a chance to see how he plays with Krebs, am actually now expecting he's getting pencilled into what was Okposo's spot and Okposo is pencilled in as Cozens' 2nd winger unless the kid playing with him right now absolutely forces his way onto the team. (In which case Okposo goes back to his normal role next to Krebs.) Really expect Jost is the 13 unless he forces his way higher into the lineup. But do agree, his role is not that which Kulich or Rosen would fill should they win a roster spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I have to choose one of Rosen and Kulich, I would say Rosen, although that is based solely on the prospects tournament, where he looked terrific and Kulich looked good but not great IMHO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PortuCool Posted September 23, 2023 Report Share Posted September 23, 2023 Kulich is just impressive; it’s hard not to lean his way here. But I have a dark horse candidate that I think will be given a lot of consideration: Filip Cederqvist He’s a bit older and has quietly risen up the ranks. It also would behoove the Sabres to pump up some of the fringe* prospects for possible trade purposes. (* I don’t use “fringe” loosely; Cederqvist is a fringe player in the sense that there are way too many legitimate NHL prospects in this org. to fit onto one roster.)

I think he is ahead of Rosen, who also developed physically in the off season, which is very encouraging. I think Kulich can jump over Rousek if he shows enough. If not, then he is the first call up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I'm wrong, but I see it maybe more as marketing than anything else but I see it happening. Even if he's not that great it turns the conversation league wide and media wide.
