At this rate the Sabres organization will run out of goalies.

 

Bet they wish they had drafted Fucale now.

 

:angel:

 

Worth noting that two teams with two of the brightest young goalies in the league (Rask and Price) drafted the two highest profile goalies in recent year (Fucale and Subban). That's how you avoid goalie purgatory.

I'd take Compher over Fucale any day.

 

All day every day.

When you don't have a set starter you're in purgatory. We're there for sure.

AMERKS SIGN DEFENSEMAN BLAKE KESSEL TO PTO CONTRACT

The Rochester Americans announced today that the team has signed defenseman Blake Kessel to a professional tryout contract.

 

Kessel, 24, has appeared in 47 ECHL games this season with the Orlando Solar Bears and Bakersfield Condors, recording a total of 36 points (8+28) and 28 penalty minutes to rank fourth in scoring among ECHL defensemen. He has also played in three American Hockey League games this season with the Rockford IceHogs. In 101 career ECHL games with Orlando, Bakersfield and the Trenton Titans, the 6-foot-2, 210-pound Kessel has recorded 77 points (16+61) and 62 penalty minutes. He has also played in 66 career AHL games with Rockford and the Adirondack Phantoms, collecting 22 points (3+19) and 12 penalty minutes. A native of Verona, Wisconsin, Kessel was originally selected by the New York Islanders in the sixth round (166th overall) of the 2007 NHL Entry Draft.

Are the Amerks still slated to make the playoffs? If they are still fighting for the right to enter the tournament should the Sabres consider this when making call ups to the big club? Especially considering the Sabres lost season and very little benefit of them playing out the string with nothing to play for, other than a chance to possibly do some evaluation? Just wondering?

With 10 games left they sit a point out of the 7th and 8th seed. It does hurt them but there aren't really any options.

Based on what I saw last night, they aren't making the playoffs. Just going through the motions.

Thanks, too bad they don't leave the better eligible players down to help the push. I like Hackett, Lew, Risto, Rudy and Deslaurier but they would be better off making the playoffs with Rochester and getting that experience it seems?

Amerks need D and a goalie. Grig ain't helping.

 

Taro explained as much to me tonight. I had no idea how badly the casualties are affecting the Amerks.
