LGR4GM Posted July 11, 2014 Report Posted July 11, 2014 So I was looking at the camp invitees and we only have 1 invite on defense who is under 6'1" and none under 192lbs. We are big on the back end. Also of note, JT Compher is listed as 5'10" and I am wondering if they update this with players height and weight. Also the only player even in the ballpark with points last season compared to Reinhart, Nick Baptiste. Quote
SabresBillsFan Posted July 11, 2014 Report Posted July 11, 2014 I didn't see last years 2nd rounder on the roster Connor Hurley. Wonder why? Quote
Weave Posted July 11, 2014 Report Posted July 11, 2014 I didn't see last years 2nd rounder on the roster Connor Hurley. Wonder why? He is a collegiate player, no? I wouldnt be surprised if NCAA rules prevent it. Quote
Johnny DangerFace Posted July 11, 2014 Report Posted July 11, 2014 He is a collegiate player, no? I wouldnt be surprised if NCAA rules prevent it. Would make sense but fasching and other NCAA players are there Quote
SabresBillsFan Posted July 11, 2014 Report Posted July 11, 2014 Would make sense but fasching and other NCAA players are there That's what I mean. He played in USHL last year and going to college this year. Quote
shrader Posted July 11, 2014 Report Posted July 11, 2014 He is a collegiate player, no? I wouldnt be surprised if NCAA rules prevent it. There's no restriction other than the player having to pay his own way to get here. I'm not sure if the sabres can pick up the bill for the junior players or not. Quote
dudacek Posted July 13, 2014 Report Posted July 13, 2014 This is it ladies and gentlemen. This camp a big deal. This is the crucible where it starts. There will be so many good prospects in camp Monday that the critical mass is there to create an environment where talented prospects will be forced to compete and compete hard to earn their place in the pecking order. Zemgus will be setting the standard for talented grit guys like Compher and Baptiste to match. If Brendan Lemieux wants to be an NHL power forward any time soon he is going to have to be better than Carrier or Fasching. Who is the guy who will be in the wheelhouse on offence: Samson or Mikhail? Joel Armia, you are being chased by Justin Bailey. Nikita, Jake, Mark and Rasmus? There's only room for two of you right now. Nobody has earned the label goalie of the future yet. Which one of you is it going to be? Cornel, Schaller, Kea, Catenacci, Samuels-Thomas, Gauthier, Florentino, etc., look at guys in front of you. You want it, you better bring your lunch bucket. This is one of the key components of the plan: bringing a bunch of young talent together at the same time, let them fight it out. Let them bond. Let the strong survive. I can't wait. Anyone going to watch and post some reports? Quote

Makes me feel better about our future then just seeing a list of the invitees (which isn't that impressive in itself). I just wish we had a better hit percentage for our 1st rounders over the last few years. Quote

Derrico Posted July 13, 2014 Report Posted July 13, 2014 I'm seriously considering making the 2.5 hour drive down for the scrimmage but haven't decided yet. If i do I'll ofcourse post updates. Quote
Grinder Posted July 13, 2014 Report Posted July 13, 2014 I'm seriously considering making the 2.5 hour drive down for the scrimmage but haven't decided yet. If i do I'll ofcourse post updates. The drive out of Toronto during rush hour is so brutal. That would be some serious dedication. I'm going to the scrimmage Tuesday night with my brother and cousin. I don't post much here, I've been a lurker for many years. I'll share my thoughts after the scrimmage. Quote
Derrico Posted July 13, 2014 Report Posted July 13, 2014 (edited) Ya the drive during rush hour is brutal but considering some talent that will be there and the tickets are free I still may go for it. Will probably take a half day vacation from work so as to miss the traffic and grab a bite downtown before it starts. Maybe I'll see ya there. I, like probably hundreds of others, will be rocking my Myers jersey. Edited July 13, 2014 by Derrico Quote
LGR4GM Posted July 14, 2014 Report Posted July 14, 2014 (edited) http://www.wgr550.co...he-ice/19408350 Reinhart looked smooth in what he does, not a lot of wasted motion. He sent a no look pass out front finding a wide open Justin Bailey. The Sabres first round pick less than a month ago was glad to finally get on the ice, “It was great, it was a thrill to have that all over with and finally come here. It’s a lot more comforting to know that all of that’s over and you can really get down to business and enjoy the week. It’s my first experience at a NHL level, so I’m just taking it in stride and enjoying the process.” From a skill standpoint I felt I should get here and see Mikhail Grigorenko dominate and he didn’t disappoint. He made a few slick moves especially a one on one move to turn Brycen Martin inside out. He finished by scoring high on Cal Peterson. It’ll be interesting to see if he moves his good play forward into the scrimmage. Edited July 14, 2014 by LGR4GM Quote
Lanny Posted July 14, 2014 Report Posted July 14, 2014 Also the only player even in the ballpark with points last season compared to Reinhart, Nick Baptiste. And they're only 3 months apart in age. Quote

Bob Malooga Posted July 14, 2014 Report Posted July 14, 2014 (edited) This is a good write-up. Appreciate it. Makes me feel better about our future then just seeing a list of the invitees (which isn't that impressive in itself). I just wish we had a better hit percentage for our 1st rounders over the last few years. The list is actually pretty impressive given they have something like 7-8 first round picks in camp. Other names like Fasching, Bailey, Baptiste, McCabe, Compher, etc, are very intriguing and impressive. How can we have a "better hit percentage on our 1st rounders over the last few years," if we don't even know the hit percentage of them yet, so far? There is PLENTY of time for Grigorenko and Armia to develop into top-line studs. Girgensons, Pysyk, Ristolainen and Zadorov have already showed they have enough promise to hold out hope...and Reinhart is Reinhart. (Don't forget these are growing/developing KIDS!) I don't understand how you could think like that or make that comment...it is super-duper far too early for that, in my opinion. EDIT: Honestly, from 2008-2015...I think our "hit percentage on 1st rounders" will be damn impressive within time. Edited July 14, 2014 by Bob Malooga Quote
