Eleven Posted July 16, 2013 Report Posted July 16, 2013 So the prospects tournament will return this year. Sabres won it the last time it was held, in 2011.
spndnchz Posted July 19, 2013 Report Posted July 19, 2013 Schedule: Thursday, Sept 5 - Columbus vs Buffalo 4:00 p.m. Friday, Sept 6 - Buffalo vs NY Rangers 4:00 p.m. Sunday, Sept 8 - Carolina vs Buffalo 4:00 p.m. Then they'll do a one game playoff on Monday Sept 9th. Anybody guess on rosters? NCAA guys will be playing already so I don't think they'll play. You can have 4 "vets" or guys that have one year pro like Grigorenko and Girgensons.
shrader Posted July 19, 2013 Report Posted July 19, 2013 So did they invent some rules this time about the experienced players? I seem to remember fans making a stink last time around that we sent an older group to these games.
LGR4GM Posted July 19, 2013 Report Posted July 19, 2013 I think we have a good chance to fair well at this tourney. We have a ton of prospects that can go even with the 4vet rule.
Huckleberry Posted August 20, 2013 Report Posted August 20, 2013 Well 70% of that roster will likely play for the sabres within the next two years...
Two or less Posted August 20, 2013 Report Posted August 20, 2013 So far... Goalies: Andrey Makarov, Connor Knapp, Nathan Lieuwen Defense: Mark Pysyk, Chad Ruhwedel, Jerome Gauthier-Leduc, Connor Boland (undrafted from Peterborough (OHL)) Forwards: Justin Bailey, Kevin Sundher, Zemgus Girgensons, Joel Armia, Mikhal Grigorenko, Johan Larsson, Dan Catenacci, Logan Nelson
Dannepanne Posted August 20, 2013 Report Posted August 20, 2013 Who is Connor Boland? Is he any good?
Two or less Posted August 20, 2013 Report Posted August 20, 2013 Who is Connor Boland? Is he any good? Never heard of him til now. 6'2 undrafted from Peterbourgh of the OHL is all I know.

Catenacci and Nelson added.

dudacek Posted August 20, 2013 Report Posted August 20, 2013 Hope this is a tourney we can watch. Getting very itchy for hockey again.

IKnowPhysics Posted August 21, 2013 Report Posted August 21, 2013 I'd road trip up for that one, if I had nothing better to do and were anywhere on that side of the Missouri and Ohio rivers.
dudacek Posted August 21, 2013 Report Posted August 21, 2013 No less than seven players I expect to see time in Buffalo this year — Grigorenko, Pysyk and Larsson I expect to see a lot of. (The others are Risto, Ruhwedel, Armia and the mighty Zemgus
LGR4GM Posted August 21, 2013 Report Posted August 21, 2013 LATEST Goalies: Andrey Makarov, Connor Knapp, Nathan Lieuwen Defense: Mark Pysyk, Chad Ruhwedel, Jerome Gauthier-Leduc, Connor Boland (undrafted from Peterborough (OHL)), Alex Lepkowski, Rasmus Ristolainen, Nikita Zadorov, Brady Austin, Forwards: Justin Bailey, Kevin Sundher, Zemgus Girgensons, Joel Armia, Mikhal Grigorenko, Johan Larsson, Dan Catenacci, Logan Nelson, Frederic Roy, Justin Kea, Nicholas Baptiste, Colin Jacobs, Eric Locke Little bit surprised Jake McCabe's name is not on that list but maybe he has other things going on. Either way I think we can see how our recent draft acquisitions fair out there and especially note how Risto and Zadorov add a lot more depth and grit to our def prospect... I will watch (hopefully) with great anticipation. Also Kris Baker had some info on Boland (6'2" 180lbs) Kris Baker @SabresProspects LHD Connnor Boland (Peterborough) will be w/ Sabres in Traverse City. Shoulder surgery, mono last two years. Good size and very smart.

IKnowPhysics Posted August 21, 2013 Report Posted August 21, 2013 Little bit surprised Jake McCabe's name is not on that list but maybe he has other things going on. Looking back through the rosters for this tournament throughout the years, I don't see a single NCAA player who hadn't graduated or signed a pro contract. I'm starting to lean towards the direction of NCAA eligibility rules standing in the way... http://www.ncaa.org/...ible/Amateurism In general, amateurism requirements do not allow:Contracts with professional teams Salary for participating in athletics Prize money above actual and necessary expenses Play with professionals Tryouts, practice or competition with a professional team Benefits from an agent or prospective agent Agreement to be represented by an agent Delayed initial full-time collegiate enrollment to participate in organized sports competition 12.2.3.2 Competition with Professionals - An individual shall not be eligible for intercollegiate athletics in a sport if the individual ever participated on a team and knew (or had reason to know) that the team was a professional team (per Bylaw 12.02.4) in that sport. However, an individual may compete on a tennis, golf, two-person sand volleyball or two-person synchronized diving teams with persons who are competing for cash or a comparable prize, provided the individual does not receive payment of any kind for such participation. 12.2.3.2.4 Major Junior A Ice Hockey - Ice hockey teams in the United States and Canada, classified by the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association as major junior A teams, are considered professional teams under NCAA legislation. There are other bylaws that muddle the waters and possibly allow loopholes under very specific, strict circumstances, but it's a god damned minefield. Quick examples, a few of many many: if any of the players on the team were "assigned" to play in the tournament by the pro teams, instead of volunteering, then it'd be no good for NCAA players, because that team might qualify as professional (because the pro team required them to be there in exchange for their salary/compensation). If the team that wins the tournament got free ice cream, it'd be no good, because that'd be compensation based on performance. McCabe will be at Wisconsin preparing for the '13-'14 Badger season as assistant captain and in school doing what he does to again be selected as an Academic All-Big Ten.

There's a kerfuffle on facebook right now about a Marine who the NCAA has denied eligibility. Apparently he played on some on-base intermural teams (that didn't sound serious), but it was organized since they kept score and had a schedule (or something like that).

The NCAA relented after feeling the heat and declared the guy eligible.
spndnchz Posted August 28, 2013 Report Posted August 28, 2013 Goin' old school. Traverse City games will be heard on 1520AM. Paul Hamilton is doing the play by play. Looking into a possible web stream on Sabres.com
Andrew Amerk Posted September 2, 2013 Report Posted September 2, 2013 Goin' old school. Traverse City games will be heard on 1520AM. So glad we are in 2013!
IKnowPhysics Posted September 2, 2013 Report Posted September 2, 2013 Looking into a possible web stream on Sabres.com I'd watch a few.
nfreeman Posted September 4, 2013 Report Posted September 4, 2013 So it's really not on TV? The NHL Network has too much other good programming to fit this in?
