I like Weissbach

He should do it. Get the prospect they should have gotten the first time

I think an improved UPL plays in Rochester and begins to restore faith that he can become a #1 in the NHL. IF he does play in the NHL I think he'll benefit from having an extra coach in Anderson, who I don't believe got enough credit for helping the Washington goaltenders last year.

New baby. Playing for a coach he knows and his NHL life. I'd say odds are he plays better than he has lately. He'll make some plays and he'll make some people mad but in the end it'll be one and done in Buffalo.

North Dakota, Minnesota and Djurgårdens. How does that work if they are in college or playing already oversees?

I agree that his development could use another year in Rochester and I do think the team will be better than last years team. It would be fun to watch him there IMO. That said, I don't think last year compares to any other because of the limited opponents. I'll give UPL a pass there. Everyone develops at their own pace and I choose to be optimistic that UPL can emerge this season and exceed expectations. I don't need stats to back that up. I'm willing to let it play out a while before I start to define the season as one thing or another.

They'd better be ready for their best shot for sure. They'll earn anything they get.

Can't wait till Peterka gets a real #. I'll make my purchase ASAP

I liked Big Z. This kid really could be something still tho.

Why is it impossible for you to think that maybe UPL has improved and will benefit from having an extra coach on the ice with him in Anderson? I'm not saying UPL is improved or that he will play well and at times carry the team on his back but.... I'm not saying he can't until I see it with my own eyes. He has been working all off season to improve the aspects of his game that are lacking and he has spent a significant amount of his time in Buffalo rehabbing and working at HarborCenter with teammates. The guy has had success in his career so to write him off so fast is uncalled for IMO. Lets see what the kid can do, rushed or not.

They are going to lose some games. This was as good a time as any to get it out of the way. It was bound to happen, Tomlin is a prideful guy and it trickles down to his team. They were tired of hearing about the Bills and no matter how humble they are in interviews the team ego was getting inflated with all the talk. Now they can reset and play their game and I think they will.

I'm going to remain optimistic that the Sabres will be better than people think.

I'm glad they lost. The way they react will tell the story of the season.

Good stuff from Pronman.

Sharing these for anyone interested. I'm finding myself looking more and more to the future since the present has been so bleak so I hope to be able to keep up with most of the young guys a little more than years past. 2021-22 Men's Ice Hockey Schedule - Northeastern University https://nuhuskies.com/sports/mens-ice-hockey/schedule 2021-22 Men's Hockey Schedule - University of Minnesota https://gophersports.com/sports/mens-ice-hockey/schedule/2021-22 2021-22 Ice Hockey Schedule - University of Michigan https://mgoblue.com/sports/mens-ice-hockey/schedule/2021-22

Cheers SDS! And many more 🍺🍺

So, the talking heads are talking about the Olympics as if Eichel is C2. They are speculating the lineups but didn't hesitate to put Eichel in as a roster lock. Feels like a reach to assume right now that Jack will be back and or healthy by that time. Begs the question: If Jack is on LTIR with the Sabres, could he still play with the US Olympic team?

As commish in my other leagues I always play it straight up. Fantasy Karma is real. For the record, I like 12th pick. I can take two players and chill for a while in between.

Yes. Sabres, not league.

How do we feel about this kid? Not much talk about him but those two goals were very nice! Why not Buffalo? Why can't the Sabres hit on a late round gem who develops out of nowhere into a championship caliber player?
