Sabres Training Camp 2025

[dudacek]

There are 18 forwards, and I'm wondering if Meyer is injured or has been because he's a weird keep and we haven't seen a sniff of him.

It look slike Östlund, Dunne, Kozak, Geertsen fighting for the final 1 or 2 spots with Greenway injured.

Kind of surprisng that Komorov is getting brought back up.  There was no need to waive him the other day if they were considering keeping him up.

Is there another injury to the D that we don't know about?  Because with Samuelsson injured, that would give them 9 healthy D on the big roster.

He’s still waiver exempt, isn’t he? Teams play so many games at this time of the year with the timing of these moves.

Yes, he's still waiver exempt.  So, they aren't "sneaking" him down or up.

No Byram at practice this AM. He Kulich and Samuelsson are not on the ice

And that's 8 healthy/available D for practice with Novikov. Komorov.

He was recalled when Jones was sent down.

D'oh!  Meant to type Komorov.

The recall was Komarov, not Novikov

Mtrka will surely be sent to Seattle for another year in junior, no?

Yes he has to be. I agree he has looked amazing and really looks exactly like the kind of player we have been clamoring for. But he has only played 40 games in junior cause he came over mid season last year. 

I would personally send him back to junior and let him dominate, I would hope that his team maybe has an ok and then doesnt make the play-offs, then he can go to the Amerks for an extended playoff run.

He then could be the big piece for the Amerks next year playing in all situations, maybe getting a call up here or there. And then in 2 years you could have a situation where he steps right into the top 4 of Buffalo. Maybe even as a Byram replacement with Dahlin

I'd imagine so, but I think he should be kept up with the team for the entirety of training camp so he can absorb all the NHL experience he can. 

Since he's on loan from Europe and not bound by the CHL rules, can he be "called up" to the AHL mid-way through the season if injuries happen or if they decide there's not much more development for him in Seattle?

I don't think he can.
