lol PA gave this a thumbs down? Where's your sense of humor?

Our 2nd line will be good. Potentially very very good. Benson Cozens Quinn will be fine.

I don't believe you. Especially when I can see that Lohrei had more giveaways in half as many games. Also Owen Power is really well rounded. I think you have blinders on because Power isn't physical. He still is very good positionally and is an excellent passer. I don't usually worry about Power in his own end or on offense. Lohrei plays on the 3rd pair and only has 41 nhl games. We'll see how each does this year.

But they'd have to dip into the AHL affiliate first. If the team doesn't have an NHL affiliated goalie, aka no one in the AHL is available. So every goalie but 1 would have to be injured from Buffalo and Rochester and then Buffalo could callup Ratzlaff. That's always been my understanding of the rule. They can't just ignore Sandstrom and call up Ratzlaff

They can't recall him until his CHL season ends. I'm fairly certain I've read that before. Once he's assigned to the WHL, that's where he plays. Also, I don't think scenario has even the remote possibility of happening. They'll send Levi down and have him play when UPL needs a rest. I don't think they'll waive Reimer.

No he isn't. He hasn't signed a contract. I just checked EP again.

Ratzlaff is 19, plays in the WHL so not Rochester eligible, and isn't even signed to his elc. He's not an option.

There's little to no evidence that Lohrei is better than Power right now. Again, I bet Lohrei is more physical which is why you're saying better. You prefer his style of defense.

What happens if the horse shoe falls out of UPLs and Levi is better?

ECHL Mascot would be the next up. Idk who the EBUM, Emergency Backup Mascot, would be. Maybe Billy Buffalo or Victor E. Bull

Says a guy posting in a thread about a preseason game with 0 NHL players.

No plan survives contact with the enemy.

No it isn't, it is the Amerks playing.

Just saw this. For someone to open toss the number out into the public at a presser like that... I take it things haven't been going well.

Its awful and I hate it

my lord does pre-season need to end already, what is the NHL even doing?

He'll probably need a full AHL year. His game just didn't mature as much as it needed to.

It tells us you prefer the style of Lohrei over Power. It's not telling us who's actually better.

Highly doubt you can say that about a guy with 41 games to his NHL resume. Power is better than Lohrei until Lohrei proves otherwise over a full season.

That's gonna be interesting. Wish buffalo's margin of error was higher but nothing to do now.
