Prospect Challenge

Is it being broadcast.  Any idea on the roster yet?  Are Casey and Dahlin going to play?

[pi2000]

Yes

[Onceagain]

I see no reason the sabres shouldn't win this tournament this year. Really hope they can use a good showing as a springboard into camp.  Hope Dahlin and Mitts can jump right in and ball out.

[pi2000]

I don't think Dahlin should play.  He's going to make the team, would rather be workout and be around his teammates during that time.

[Randall Flagg]

We got smoked by NJ last year, I remember that.

[Sabel79]

Roster is out.  Dahlin will indeed be there.  

[Brawndo]

 

 

Full Roster

 

Tage Thompson, Pekar and Laaksonen listed 

[Sabel79]

Possibly some intrigue regarding Pekar.

Will the plot thicken??? Stay tuned

[Mustache of God]

Great to see we'll get a fresh look at Thompson and Dahleen.

If Pronman is right we should SMOKE this tournament with our eyes closed.

[Mustache of God]

Also interesting that we have 9 centers, 4 LWs and 2 RWs listed.

 

Would love to see Nylander - Mitts - Thompson with Guhle/Dahlin on the back end.

Who is Aquin and where did he come from?

undrafted from the QMJHL...signed as depth player in Roch.

6'1"/205  physical type who can score.

[North Buffalo]

Pekar maybe heading to the Colts.  Barrie not Indy.

[French Collection]

UPL with the Sudbury Wolves and Pekar with the Barrie Colts, JBotts may have to watch some OHL games this year.

I know I will, those teams play in North Bay multiple times a year.

[Randall Flagg]

They're streaming this, BTW. On the Sabres website.

If I am reading that lineup correctly, Eric Cornel is the fifth highest drafted prospect. And he is on the fifth line, four years after his draft year.

The 2nd round in 2014 really sucked.

[Hank]

I wish Nylander and Mittelstadt were paired together. 

[dudacek]

Dahlin and Borgen is an interesting combo, some skating and snarl. The proverbial tough to play against.

Asplund and Ogilvie are smart enough and fast enough and hard enough that Nylander has no excuses. That first line can snipe.

That D grouping has to be the best since Risto and Nikita were prospects. Surprised Pilut is on pair four, but it’s that damn left-handed backlog.
