Rosen has grown a lot, he looks bigger and much more aggressive attacking the zone. He's impressed me along with Johnson and Metsa. Matthew Savoie looks fantastic as do Benson and Kulich. The German defenseman made some really nice plays (I know it begins with a "P"). Really impressed with what I've seen. You see little ripples with Kisakov and Neuchev as well!

I think he'll be bounced somewhere between November and trade deadline. I think he's coverage for now, but ultimately will be replaced.

Honestly, not a chance, he'll spend the entire season in Wentachee, before coming to Rochester next year. He's by far our most talented forward prospect, but there really isn't a need for him this season without some major injury between now and October 1st. Savoie, Kulich, Rosen, Rousek, Weissblach, Cederqvist, are all further along. That being said, if he shatters all expectations and provides that he's ready now, I'll gladly shut my mouth.

The great thing is, we have enough spots covered, that barring someone seriously underwhelming in camp, Kulich and fellow first rounder Rosen aren't needed yet. I think Rosek will get the shot, if he surpasses Jost potentially.

The price of doing business with highly drafted players, is out of ELC contracts, you have to pony up, or look to move them. The surging upwards Sabres, are not in the maligned muck. With the possible "hope" of Devon Levi being the savior in net, and a few key defensive and depth size signings. We could finally see the curse of 13 years of suffering and anguish end. Signing Dahlin and Power isn't just a necessity, it's part of that upward climb out of the dogshit that we've been malaised with for over a decade. We finally have two horses, that can push us up. Look at the dynamic of Hedman and Sergachev. They both are dominant in their own ways. This is similar in Dahlin and Power. Power is more of the Hedman, confident, calm and uses his size the way he needs. Dahlin, the more powerful, physical player, who still has enough skill to press the issue at any time. If we want to make the next step up, this is the price of doing business. Welcome to becoming a big club. Tampa has depth down the middle, the sabres are showing that. They drafted and developed a core, the Sabres are starting to finally show that their previous inemptitude is ending. A stronger case for analytics, and actual indepth scouting, is improving things in Rochester, showing a conference final in just over a year. That's with only a few blue chippers. The sarbes, continue to add different dynamics to their farm system, and we're no longer a joke. Dahlin and Power for 8 years, is an eventuality.

Bryson had no place on this roster, so we trade Ilya. I loved Lyubushkin. I will definitely always remember his OT winner. Ty for your time here!

Considering they were able to move off of Granlund who clearly didn't fit as well as Petry and DeSmith at the cost of a first round pick. They did fine. They also gained three million in cap space. I could see them using some of it on a UFA on a one yr deal. While I think this likely will not end with them hoisting the cup, they didn't give up any of their limited upside prospects in the system. Clearly SJ is looking to flip the three veterans with some bounce back in a market/team not expecting to complete and get younger assets on the back end. Hope it works out for them.

Glad the Sabres won't be on the hook for this type of player in years 4-7. Because he's going to fall off a cliff.

Sorry for his families loss, but this is just an example of a classless unprofessional business owner. That's all.

Two words: Trade bait.

Death note on his career. He was barely hanging on by a thread as is. Enjoy the KHL, loser.

Exactly trade Bryson for a mid round pick. Move on from him. He'd be interesting as a depth piece on a rebuilder.

Trading anything of remote value for Gibson, is a huge no.

I haven't seen anything in Greenway's game to show that he's worthy of being above the fourth line. Now, his injury woes might be a preamble for that. I'll just watch into the start of next season. He's the biggest wild card for sure. I still would like to get rid of Comrie and get some sort of alternative in net.

And what's crazy is there are still 6-7 other under 23's that didn't participate. lol

Move on from Erik Johnson and Riley Stillman. Thanks.

Depth isn't 3.25M per season. Sorry. Depth is someone you bring to camp on a tryout deal. We have depth already. Clifton is the upgrade to the top six.

A sixth or a seventh defensemen for a guy who is washed, and you're giving this clown 3.25M. Eh, I'd rather allocate this money elsewhere. Johnson is an injury prone bag of meh. He belongs on waivers.

Clifton just softened the blow of Johnson. Alright, I'll shut up now, I missed this (lost internet).

This guy is toast. I hate this signing so much. He literally does nothing, and is not an upgrade over what we have. Sorry. This is a ***** L. Where the ***** is the management team trying to progress with signings like this.

What is this *****. I thought we were progressing. Tokarski and Cooley, Johnson. ***** dreadful signings.

What the literal *****.

For once I actually agree with you, I would have let Rousek run with it.

It's 500K less than he made last year. At least it's only a one year deal.

Reaves at anything more than 925K at this point is dumb. He's a face puncher with no other value.
