Meh ... survive the period. Get a good counterpunch game plan going and push back hard in the 2nd ....

Does it have square wheels?

Oh wow .... sad

Yep… He has the skills… That’s obvious. He just needs to gain confidence like you said and also gain experience and develop more for the pro leagues. The AHL should give him that if he‘s handled correctly in Roch.

So joker was sent to the AHL to further his development. And he thought it was good for him to go down and develop more. Well isn’t that interesting ...

And as a (just turned) 21 year old, needed further development, as is painfully obvious .... Let’s not gloss over that fact. well, I won’t gloss over that fact ...

He absolutely has the talent to succeed as a pro. It’s up to him to be a successful AHLer or an NHLer. Hopefully he’ll get the support and experience to grab that success. It may take him several games in the AHL to get him going, but I’m confident he’ll get his mojo and do well.

I hope the AHL helps him develop into being close (key word) to what he was originally projected to be.. it just may take 3-4 more years. Projection and Comparison Mittelstadt has the potential to be a top line centre in the NHL. He has some areas to work on but he has the skillset to lead a team, if he develops properly. There are some questions, generally about the level of competition he has faced to this point in his career, and how his game will translate at the next level. In terms of a comparison, he plays a similar style to Tyler Seguin. This is a stylistic comparison only though, and not an indication of talent level.

I could see a GM valuing Bogo anywhere between a 4th round pick ... all the way up to a 3rd pairing Dman solid NHLer in trade. Given his age, injury history and the salary he’s most likely asking for .... he’s not worth anything significant. I wonder if a team would risk any longer than a 2 year deal on him when he does sign his next contract. Unless the price is very beneficial to the cap.

I think it’s great they got 9 out of 10. Of course they’ll cool off a bit. Every season, even for teams that make the playoffs and even those that win the cup have peaks and valleys throughout the year. negative Nancy’s can hunt for the negatives and complain about the what if’s, and should haves... complaining, in a twisted way, makes them happy. I’m glad the Sabres have been trending in a positive direction. I hope that doesn’t take JB’s foot off the gas and he is still searching for troops to better the roster.

I think this is a poor question to ask any Sabres or Leafs fan. Ask the other 29 markets fan bases.

ideally in a perfect world ... 4th line ... 10-12% of the cap 3rd line ... 15-17% of the cap 2nd line ... 22-24% of the cap 1st line ... 28-30% of the cap goalies ... 15-17% of the cap sonewhere in those ranges. 1st thru 3rd lines include dmen lines. edit: amended goalies %

Tyce and Tage?!?! How Terrrrrrific.

Oh you took most of those thoughts right from my mind haha. Or maybe it was Jack who hates ROR. ?

I feel bad for Thomas. Or anyone for that matter going thru that. It must be a waking nightmare.

And yet, like almost every “on pace for” comment fans make ... he won’t get close to that come April. I predict 85-95 points. Which would still be awesome!

Another option is ... between injuries and slumps, roster/line changes, he won’t reach 100.

I don’t think Vesey views himself as equal to Girgs. I would guess that Vesey IS gonna ask and get “middle six” money in his next contract. If not by Sabres, then someone. If he was put long term on a line with Larsson and Okposo, especially after he signed a new contract, he would want to be traded.

Start going to one arena (of his favorite sport) every year. Going to see his favorite team if possible, in many different cities and arenas. Only downside is, it could get pretty darn expensive. If he likes the outdoors, take him On a camping trip to a national park. If he likes hockey, go to the hockey hall of fame in Toronto.

I’m not gonna ask you the why’s of cellphones and gaming systems. That’s your personal preference/parenting. What’s he into? Art, sports, science, reading, movies, clothes, electronics, toys?

Part of it is Ice time, part of it is coaching. Part of it is confidence. He’s looking better most nights for the past 15-20 games.

VO is the poster boy for proper patient effective development. Very glad for him.

Ouch! Hope it’s not too serious. Keep us updated on the goalie if you hear anything....

And Some of you had a doubt ... Wonderful game. Keep riding Ullmark until he starts to wear out.
