Two or less

Lance said teams will be looking to add depth to goalies more then usual to avoid some crazy covid issue, and Anderson has a house there and loves it there and Sabres could ship him there as a favor to him for being a good citizen teammate here.

Sabres go from literally having nobody to have a numbers game. Good problem to have. Seems all is good with Anderson and Tokarski after their starts, Houser and Dell will be in Rochester and Upi is expected to return after all-star break or soon there after. As mentioned by Lance of the Buffalo News, Anderson could be a candidate to be dealt to Florida.

Merry Christmas everyone. Wishing everyone a happy and healthy Christmas. Go Sabres!

I don't think they need to wait til the stadium opens up for them to sell the Sabres. I think what Elliott was referring to is them getting funds for the stadium. Once they get the funds agreed on, i think the time begins to click on their sale of the Sabres if they are serious about it.

McKenzie said Savoie is 5’9. I was going based on that. As for Cooley I like his style but only if we didn’t pick too high up and he’s slightly taller. Not the most ideal. I’ve listed several others I liked more. I don’t know too many legit top 6 C who are 5’9.

When did it blow up in our face? Also, another player i really like in this draft and i am not sure where he will go, maybe with our last first round pick or even second round is Jimmy Snuggerud. His father played for the Sabres, very smart player, fast, loves to shoot and play with pace and likes to play physical. Plays a game similar to Miles Wood.

No i don't, i mostly just read sportsnet, the athletic and hockeyprospect.com articles and podcast. It's crazy to say he's getting lucky with points though. He's destroying the league like nobody has ever at that age. No Barkov, not Laine, not Selanne or Kurri. I think the biggest issue with people liking him is if his scoring doesn't translate to the NHL, what else does he provide? I'm with you on Cooley as well though. Big fan. Savoie not so much mainly bc of his size.

My favorite prospect that fits the billing beside Wright in this draft is Joakim Kemell. A hard working, sniper scorer from Finland who cant stop scoring. Plays quick, excels in a transition game. Other then that, i see three players that seem like "Adams" type of players. Not sure where they will land, but might be a reach if the Sabres pick too high. But the players are Frank Nazar, a 2-way right winger, kills penalties, plays PP, high hockey IQ, a competitor. Will attend Michigan next year. Danila Yurov a Russian winger, plays a heavy game, good scorer, also a hard worker. And Jack Hughes, a center on Devon Levi's Northeastern. He's more mid-to-late first round type player, but a very smart player, does all the little things, 2-way center. Has 3 goals in 10 college games this season so far.

Only information given was maintenance day

Not even that, he can leave but why would he come here? If he leaves Carolina, the favorite will quickly become Seattle with Ron Francis in their front office having a connection to BrindAmour. Doubt Buffalo is even on the radar.

It was reported and we discussed it at length on here. This wasn't something that just came out now. https://ottawasun.com/sports/hockey/nhl/ottawa-senators/the-ottawa-senators-coaching-search-has-heated-up-in-the-last-week

He's very good and worth a first round pick. But not from the Sabres, way too risky to be trading picks which very easily could turn into being top 5 pick.

I thought i once read Rick lives in St. Catherines, so i think he's out.

What's so funny? They are. They have Taylor Hall on a one year deal and any more missed playoffs could put Eichel over the top to begin to demand a trade. Sabres gotta start winning and they know it. Hence, they're in "win now mode".

There hasn't been any official word but i think the target date now is Feb 1st.

Legit site?

This is just a bit too much, dont ya think? Also, how did Hanifan get himself involved in this? lol

On June 23rd he told us Sabres were gonna target Taylor Hall. fwiw lol

Yes

Ottawa Sun says we’re interested in Phillip Danault

Again, i like both players quite a bit. For me, the reason i have Lundell above Rossi was size, lack of high end speed and figuring Rossi played with Quinn, which, however, was not the case.

That's interesting. Taylor was on the bench with the Sabres until the end of the road trip in late November. November 25th at Tampa was his last game as assistant coach before returning to Rochester. So from the time he left Buffalo that was the last time Krueger talked to Taylor.

I did not know that, i assumed they played together a fair share. Thanks for that info. As for Lundell vs. Rossi. I think Lundell is one of, if not the smartest player in this draft. His international hockey resume is as good as it gets, and that's in tournaments against the best kids of that age group in the world. I think Lundell has a peak potential of a Patrice Bergeron. I like his shot, i like his defensive game, i think he's the total package and i think he's a very safe pick. He's a very mature player, dominates the middle of the ice, and has good pace that allows him to generate pressure on the forecheck. He's smart, big and knows how to play a sound defensive game, with a promising developing cannon of a shot. Also could project to be a net front presence on the PP bc of his size, strength and hand-eye coordination.

If i understand it right, Krueger will have a lot of saying going forward with roster building, and i'd suspect he will go heavy-Euro.

I've been really impressed with the Islanders these playoffs. They remind me of the Vegas Golden Knights in their first season when they just steamrolled through everybody playing a physical and heavy game and grinding down their opponents and then finishing teams off by their constant speed.
