Goalie mistake? I’m at a party watching on a computer screen

Our 7th round pick from 2022

Or, injuries, I would guess. Depending on the position that sees an injury, he might have to wait for a few guys going down.

Nice write up on game https://www.nhl.com/sabres/news/buffalo-sabres-columbus-blue-jackets-prospects-challenge-recap Jiri Kulich spent his summer in the weight room, intent on adding a physical, defensive dimension to the offensive prowess that made him a first-round selection in the 2022 NHL Draft. The 20-year-old arrived in Buffalo this month feeling stronger than ever, but Friday night marked his first chance to feel the fruits of his labor in a game setting. The early returns were positive. “To be honest, I felt so much stronger,” Kulich said. “But it was tough game.” Kulich was an offensive standout with two goals and an assist in the Sabres’ 3-1 win over the Columbus Blue Jackets, their first of three games at the annual Prospects Challenge inside LECOM Harborcenter. He also served as a tone-setter through his work ethic and relentlessness on the forecheck. The Sabres outshot the Blue Jackets 41-21 in a game that featured a combined 32 penalty minutes, including two fights during the third period. Rochester Americans coach Michael Leone, who is leading the Sabres prospects through the event, provided the players with a simple directive to play hard, smart, and fast – qualities that will be foundational to the Sabres’ identity under incoming coach Lindy Ruff.

Maybe Ruff wants to get a look at them??

I bet a few of our guys are counting on this being their last time participating in this series.

James Earl Jones was born in Arkabutla, Mississippi, on January 17, 1931,[13][14] to Ruth (née Connolly); (1911–1986), a teacher and maid, and Robert Earl Jones (1910–2006), a boxer, butler, and chauffeur. His father left the family shortly after James Earl's birth and later became a stage and screen actor in New York and Hollywood.[15] Jones and his father did not get to know each other until the 1950s, when they reconciled. He said in interviews that his parents were both of mixed African-American, Irish, and Native American ancestry.[16][17] From the age of five, Jones was raised by his maternal grandparents, John Henry and Maggie Connolly,[13] on their farm in Dublin, Michigan; they had moved from Mississippi in the Great Migration.[18] Jones found the transition to living with his grandparents in Michigan traumatic and developed a stutter so severe that he refused to speak. He said, "I was a stutterer. I couldn't talk. So my first year of school was my first mute year, and then those mute years continued until I got to high school."[18] He credited his English teacher, Donald Crouch, who discovered he had a gift for writing poetry, with helping him end his silence.[15] Crouch urged him to challenge his reluctance to speak through reading poetry aloud to the class.[19][20] In 1949, Jones graduated from Dickson Rural Agricultural School[21] (now Brethren High School) in Brethren, Michigan, where he served as vice president of his class.[22]

I can see that line getting under the oppositions skin, forcing turnovers and creating chances. Not sure if its the best place to put Benson to use his talents but its good to have options

Do you think that will work? A bunch of guys on bottom six working and competing for ice time might just be the trick!

You believe what the media says? 🙃

That's a reason I like the potential of this trade. Gotta have enough good d-men or you lose hockey games

I'm guessing Zucker--McLoud--and Greenway? Of course injuries and there are a lot of forwards, so it could be any combination, but for now that's my guess at who will be on the line.

I don’t know. But $5 million is a lot of money. Can’t believe he will just be treated like a guy trying to make the team

Can Zucker be added to this list? $5 million is a lot to pay for a guy. I’d imagine someone in the organization is expecting a lot out of him. Who will he be playing with?

Skinner is not the kind of player that elevates those around him, like other really good players, which Skinner is. It's great that he scores goals, but for the kind of money he made it would be better if he did some other things really well, also

In a perfect Sabres Space world, they would be mutually beneficial to each other in a big way. They both have something to prove this year

He started to put it together at end of season and looked really good. You can say that of several others too, but I think Dylan returns to form, improves and is a driving force on the team

Yup, Chara took awhile to become a great player

What's dangerous? 😯

ok

I'll bet he is better this year, and will be even better the next. He's just a baby. I don't think he will ever be a heavy hitter though, but that's ok

Sunset today in New Jersey is about 7:30. If JG and his brother did not have on lights and reflective vest, then this dude's attorney will no doubt argue they were partly at fault. Total speculation on my part, but just throwing it out there
