LabattBlue Posted August 26, 2020 Report Posted August 26, 2020 (edited) I'm really interested to see(assuming they have a season) how the Rochester roster is put together, how the new HC fares, and how players are used...AHL vets versus Sabres prospects.

shrader Posted August 26, 2020 Report Posted August 26, 2020 So he graduated but was unsigned up to this point. That's interesting. Quote

Welcome to the Amerks (Sabres) family, Jones! Quote
Andrew Amerk Posted August 29, 2020 Report Posted August 29, 2020 (edited) The bland name doesn’t provide much inspiration. What’s next? Someone named Mike Smith in net? Edited August 29, 2020 by Andrew Amerk Quote

Ogre Posted October 18, 2020 Report Posted October 18, 2020 My season seats have become a cash account that carries over to next season. It seems reasonable to me. There was no mention in the email about the early renewal gift/trinket they promise. This year it was a jacket which would have been pretty cool. Hopefully they come through eventually. Hopefully we get back to live hockey. It’s been a big part of my happiness. Quote
JimS Posted October 19, 2020 Report Posted October 19, 2020 A very good signing for Rochester, nice to see. Quote
dudacek Posted October 19, 2020 Report Posted October 19, 2020 Can we say yet that the rumours of the Amerks being abandoned this year are proving false? Fogarty, CJ Smith, Dalton Smith, Oglevie, JS Dea and Brandon Davidson seem like a solid pack of veterans. Dawson Dipietro, Ryan Jones, Brandon Biro and Jesper Olofsson as free agent additions And some prospects like Casey, Asplund, Samuelsson and Lukkonen. Roster looking something like this? Ogelvie/Mittelstadt/Fogarty Olofsson/Ruotsalainen/Dea CJ Smith/Asplund/Murray Dipietro/Pekar/Dalton Smith Biro Davidson/Borgen Bryson/Fitzpatrick Samuelson/Laaksonen Jones Johannson/Lukkonnen Houser Not sure if there are any other vets on AHL-only contracts. Looks like there is room for one or two more signings. 1 Quote
DarthEbriate Posted October 19, 2020 Report Posted October 19, 2020 (edited) That is a very young d-corp. I wouldn't turn down an AHL contract on Paetsch (or equivalent) for practices/road trips. Not necessarily to play, just to be the grizzled wookiee on the ship. Edit: Is MacWilliam (an AHL JAG) sticking around as D? Edited October 19, 2020 by DarthEbriate Quote
LabattBlue Posted October 19, 2020 Report Posted October 19, 2020 (edited) According to a very unreliable rumor site with the word "buzz" in it(from a couple days ago), one option the NHL is considering is that the minor league team will travel with the big club, and play a game against the AHL team of whomever the Sabres are playing that night. Hockey day/night doubleheaders, I guess you could call them. I'm sure this would be grouped with all regional opponents to reduce travel costs as much as possible. Interesting thought, not sure how seriously it is being considered. Edited October 19, 2020 by LabattBlue 1 Quote

Interesting thought, not sure how seriously it is being considered. Seems reasonable because you still need game ready call-ups when injuries/illness/etc start to happen. Injuries could have a much larger impact this season than normal without the A as an option as a feeder league, and with the anticipated condensed schedule. Edited October 19, 2020 by SHAAAUGHT!!!

Interesting thought, not sure how seriously it is being considered. Hope it gets some traction. Basically play the B team in an opening act, then the varsity in a nightcap. Would be great for development and creating synergy within the program and would almost certainly help cut costs in the wake of empty arenas. Be nice if they relaxed waiver and roster size considerations as part of it and basically treated it as one big team with players moving back and forth between the squads as the coaches see fit. 1 Quote

Regardless, it probably looks better than Botterill's AHL roster and he professed to building through Rochester lol Edit - Oglevie and Dea. Edited October 19, 2020 by Thorny Quote
