Mustache of God Posted August 30, 2019 Report Posted August 30, 2019 Disappointed that Cozens won't play, but maybe long-term that's a good thing? He'll be able to quietly go back to Juniors and dominate and we won't hear people clamoring to force him into the lineup before he's ready? We are 1 week from having some actual hockey things to talk about. Almost through the off-season! Quote
dudacek Posted August 30, 2019 Report Posted August 30, 2019 No Cozens, no Luukkonnen. No Davidsson, Samuelsson Johnson. No Dahlin, Thompson, Guhle, Pilut, Nylander, Mitts...least hyped challenge ever? At least we’ll get our first look at the Joker. Quote

Cozens will be at camp and probably play in the preseason and possibly 1-3 games to start the year before going back to juniors. 1 Quote

Yeah, I'm surprised a lot of our recent D picks aren't on the roster, are NCAA players not allowed? The only person I'd half expect to see from the 2nd list of players you mentioned would be Thompson since he was at the Prospect Camp earlier this summer. Guhle and Nylander are no longer with the org so it makes sense they're not playing. Curious that Ukko Pukko Lukko isn't on that roster. Hoping Borgen, Oloffsson, Asplund, Pekar, Jokeraju and Ruustolinain give us something positive to talk about...the rest of that roster feels like a wet fart.

Curious that Ukko Pukko Lukko isn't on that roster.. LOL. I was comparing to previous camps, where I was hyped to see those guys. UPL is recovering from hip surgery.

LGR4GM Posted August 30, 2019 Author Report Posted August 30, 2019 Very surprised that Olofsson is playing. He is older and I am not sure I would consider him a prospect. He should dominate. 1 Quote
Mustache of God Posted August 30, 2019 Report Posted August 30, 2019 I reckon it's gotta be based on NHL games played. There are a few guys on the roster who are older than Victor. Quote

nfreeman Posted August 30, 2019 Report Posted August 30, 2019 Still, there are some big names, including Boomhower, from “King of the Hill” and Stephen Harper, from the office of the Prime Minister of Canada. Quote

Don't recall the rule exactly (@Shrader's usually on too of it). But there's something about how teams can only reimburse NCAA players for a single trip to the NHL team each year and most all those guys went to the prospect camp. Quote
North Buffalo Posted August 30, 2019 Report Posted August 30, 2019 TY God hockey will be back next weekend... may be puking my chemo guts out then... but hockey is back! Quote
OhMyDahlin Posted August 31, 2019 Report Posted August 31, 2019 I love the invite of Sebastian Vidmar. He was looking like a highly sought after free agent after his sophomore and junior seasons when he put up a combined 71 points in 71 games. He ended up having a bad senior season and fell off the map a little bit. I think he could be a really good player for the Amerks, or even the Cyclones. Big kid. 6-3, 210. Playmaking LW. He's a Swede (of course he is). He played four years at Union. You can find him doing this quite often... He has a nice shot too, he just doesn't use it enough...coaching staff at Union always tried to get him to shoot more. https://www.eliteprospects.com/player/30188/sebastian-vidmar 1 Quote

nfreeman Posted September 5, 2019 Report Posted September 5, 2019 'Twas a beautiful WNY summer day until winter storm Cozens roared in from the North. Dismounting his direwolf amidst the howling winds, the mystical warrior looked around at his teammates and said, simply, "follow me." There would be no going back. 2 Quote
Derrico Posted September 5, 2019 Report Posted September 5, 2019 This is great news. Nice to see rehab must be going on or slightly ahead of schedule. Quote
Randall Flagg Posted September 5, 2019 Report Posted September 5, 2019 Damn, we get to watch hockey tomorrow. Will one of those funky streams be available like last year? Quote

Hopefully someone can help us desperate out-of-market folk out if that is the case. 1 Quote

Right right right I had to install some weird chrome attachment and then type in a link provided to me by a poster on hf haha. It's all coming back Quote
dudacek Posted September 5, 2019 Report Posted September 5, 2019 I really, really want to see Rasmus Asplund emerge this year like Mike Peca in ‘96. His play in this last year was outstanding. Love the way that guy reads and works. 1 Quote
Derrico Posted September 5, 2019 Report Posted September 5, 2019 Speaking of which. Came across this decent article on Sabres prospects to watch starting tomorrow. https://thehockeywriters.com/sabres-2019-prospects-challenge/ Quote
