pi2000 Posted August 11, 2015 Report Posted August 11, 2015 http://sabrenoise.com/2015/08/11/buffalo-sabres-announce-prospect-tournament/ "There are three games scheduled, with the Buffalo Sabres playing the New Jersey Devils on September 12th and the Bruins on the 14th. The Devils and Bruins will play each other on the 13th. Both of the “home” games will be played at the First Niagara Center. This will give plenty of fans an opportunity to watch Jack Eichel play against NHL teams for the first time, and not just crowd First Niagara Center to see him play against teammates." Quote

woods-racer Posted August 11, 2015 Report Posted August 11, 2015 There are 2 threads going about the prospect challenge. Can they get merged? Quote

Let's delete mine since I was THAT guy. I can't delete it on mobile (even if I go to the "full version" on mobile) Quote

Taro T Posted August 11, 2015 Report Posted August 11, 2015 There are 2 threads going about the prospect challenge. Can they get merged? Why? There's 3 teams invited. Couldn't we get a 3rd thread for it instead? ;) Quote

nfreeman Posted August 12, 2015 Report Posted August 12, 2015 So who's gonna be there from the Sabres' system? Will they get the guys still in juniors? What about the NCAA players? I assume the younger guys from Rochester will be there. Quote
dudacek Posted August 12, 2015 Report Posted August 12, 2015 I'm assuming we get Jack and Sam. After that, does it really matter who plays? Quote
woods-racer Posted August 12, 2015 Report Posted August 12, 2015 I'm assuming we get Jack and Sam. After that, does it really matter who plays? I would like to see Baptiste, Guhle, Fashing , Florentino. Do we still have Compher and Hurley? If we do their progress would be good to see. Ullmark and Johanson have any chance to make it to the NHL? There is some talent still waiting to perk to the NHL level that has been brewing for a while. Quote

If we do their progress would be good to see. Ullmark and Johanson have any chance to make it to the NHL? There is some talent still waiting to perk to the NHL level that has been brewing for a while. Compher was traded. Hurley is in the NCAA so he might be around. Ullmark has a great chance to play in the NHL but he is recovering from double hip surgery and will be out until November ish. At that time he will begin playing in Rochester. Johanson might be there. The other 4 you mention should all be there. I would guess that Jack and Sam might miss this because they will be gearing up for training camp and the NHL season. Quote

There is no f####ing way that the last 2 #2 overall picks won't be at this tournament. Quote
3putt Posted August 12, 2015 Report Posted August 12, 2015 So who's gonna be there from the Sabres' system? Will they get the guys still in juniors? What about the NCAA players? I assume the younger guys from Rochester will be there. I think that NCAA players are ineligible. I looked back at previous rosters and didn't see any players eligible for the then upcoming season on the roster. It may violate their eligibility for some reason, but not sure on that. Or they may already be in their respective schools camps. There is no f####ing way that the last 2 #2 overall picks won't be at this tournament. Agreed, and it is an early indication of their progress in their offseason programs. Quote
LGR4GM Posted August 12, 2015 Report Posted August 12, 2015 There is no f####ing way that the last 2 #2 overall picks won't be at this tournament. I could see them not playing. I could also see them playing. Depends on some factors we don't know yet. Take a deep breath Taro, it will be okay. Quote

I don't think they're ineligible, but they'd have to pay all their own expenses so it's often a non-starter for the player. Quote

I believe the same as Mattpie, have to pay their own way not to loose eligibility. Edited August 12, 2015 by Woods-Racer Quote
