Right, because the Amerks should ice a team with the 5 or 6 good prospects that are AHL eligible and then just play a bunch scrubs to fill out their lineup. Incredibly disrespectful post towards Rochester and their fans, not to mention not even close to rooted in any sort of reality in how the AHL works.

You guys either misunderstood my post or really need to stop living in the past. When have the fans of any team had roster control? The Amerks were overflowing with bodies last year prospects and players. You would rather not have the Sabres sign guys like Porter and Redmond to fat AHL deals? Or operate Cincinnati as an Amerk farm team? Edited June 20, 2019 by dudacek 2

Do you know how many of the teams are NHL-owned vs. independent ownership? I'd love to see that number, but I get the impression that it leans towards the former at this point.

Leier has some of the most impressive footwork I’ve ever seen.Nice player. Glad to see that....they see....a right piece to the puzzle.... 1

North Buffalo Posted June 29, 2019 Report Posted June 29, 2019 Amerks, now that Sabres traded for Miller are going to have plenty of D. Send Bogo down for rehab, Borgen may be down to develop some more. Pilut unsure if waiver exempt, but if so, let him gain another 10 lbs down in the A and the following year Samuelson and Laaks are on their way to a solid D pipeline... forwards still need work, but even that though lagging appears to be turning around.. You can see it happening though not as fast as I'd like.

Taro T Posted July 1, 2019 Report Posted July 1, 2019 Can we count Vesey as an Amerks signing? If we can, we're looking at 6 Amerk FA's, 0 Sabre FA's. (Yeah, Vesey's going to be a Sabre, but it's still 5-1 even w/ that.) Amerks look to be getting stacked. 1
GASabresIUFAN Posted July 2, 2019 Report Posted July 2, 2019 Porter, Smith, Leier, Elie, Malone, Dea, Lazar re-signed or signed for the Amerks forward group to go with Pekar, Asplund, and Oglevie. CJ Smith, Thompson and Nylander could also return if they don’t make the Sabres. Anyone missing at forward? Hickey, Borgen, Gilmour, Bryson, Redmond and Fitzgerald plus maybe Pilut for the D corps. Again, anyone missing? Hammond and UPL in net This team looks strong in net and on D. Offense will depend on who doesn’t make the Sabres and growth from guys like Oglevie and Asplund.

Ogre Posted July 5, 2019 Report Posted July 5, 2019 Wow. Paetsch has another year in him? He didn’t play much at all so I’m guessing he was really good in the locker room?
Marvin Posted July 5, 2019 Report Posted July 5, 2019 How was the team chemistry last year? I am wondering if there are any patterns to the acquisitions to try and get over the 1st round hump.

Glitch in email/notification system sent texts public... oops.
Curt Posted July 15, 2019 Report Posted July 15, 2019 Yeah, yeah, it was a glitch. Yup, uh huh, that’s what it was. ?

bobs0108 Posted September 19, 2019 Report Posted September 19, 2019 I am going to the Rochester vs P Bruins game in Providence on October 12th $22 a ticket with a pop, popcorn, and hat that I will not use through work at Electric Boat. I’ll be in my Amercs Jersey. 1
Scottysabres Posted September 19, 2019 Report Posted September 19, 2019 Auto renewed my AHLTV coverage. Thanks again to Ink and others who pointed me to that. Last season it was fantastic to have, only wish I could have caught more than 25/30 games, work got in the way, dang it all that pesky work...…………. 1
Ogre Posted September 19, 2019 Report Posted September 19, 2019 They are not mailing season tickets this year?? WTH? Now I have to make a special trip to go get them? That’s lame. After the last two playoffs you’d think they’d kiss our ass a little.
