Several analytics models like the Sabres to make the playoffs.

I don't think he can.

Samuelsson is WEEK TO WEEK

Why would Buffalo play their games 4 hours away when there's closer rinks nearby?

You're assuming because Mrtka could hold his own in Rochester theoretically, that it means he's not being challenged in Seattle. I disagree. He can learn and develop his offense more, while also leading a team. Ultimately, this is pointless because Buffalo will do whatever but I don't think 43 whl games means he's somehow mastered the lower level because he looked fine to good in a few preseason games. Rochester has like 11 defenders on their roster. It can wait a year.

Isn't Novikov in Rochester?

Wait they already have balanced pairs. Dahlin Kesselring Timmins Mrtka Are all on the right

If that's a battle, move Johnson to Siberia I think Johnson is already better than Bryson

Novikov is better

I don't agree. It isn't just the minutes, it's what those minutes are too. His future partner? No.

Komarov, Metsa, Novikov, the other players in Rochester. Versus Seattle... where there's Mrtka. He'd get less ice time in Rochester and he's only played 43 whl games. I don't really care that much but I'd send him to Seattle for 1yr before thinking about Rochester.

I'm just glad there's so many defenders in the prospect pool that Samuelsson will be expendable.

Mrtka should go back to Seattle. More ice time and a chance to build out his offensive game. Mrtka has played 43 total WHL games.

I'm not. I'm not.

Glad they are to this stage. Curious to see how they run the last 2 preseason games. I'd assume give Mrtka more action. I hope they waive Bryson, he's not been good this preseason in comparison to Novikov, Johnson, or Jones.

Samuelsson

And aren't the physical presence they were claimed to be

Dahlin - Kesselring Byram - Mrtka ...in 2029

Thought Buffalo did well that period. McLeod missed a could good chances.

Did Mrtka put Bryson on his shoulders and skate around with him?

I think Mrtka skates as well as power did at 19.

Radim Mrtka will be better than Owen Power
