We need goaltending in the worst way. We need two stay at home D in the NHL. We need better RWs at the NHL level and certainly AHL centers (plus prospect centers) and LHD in the farm system. If Reinhart and Eichel are traded, we need at least one good center back in the deals. 1 Quote
Curt Posted July 21, 2021 Report Posted July 21, 2021 I generally try not to be negative, because really this is just hockey. I just have to say though, it looks like this team is going to be ***** terrible next season. 1 Quote

I know. It’s a snapshot in time. Things will change and the exact direction is hard to predict. I’m actually pretty willing to be patient. Just give me entertainment and hope. 2 Quote
PerreaultForever Posted July 22, 2021 Report Posted July 22, 2021 What's really telling is how ridiculously weak that AHL group is. and of course.............no goalie. Quote

I don’t think it’s as bad as you think. JJP, Quinn, Murray, Pekar, Laaksonen, UPL likely all have NHL roles one day, plus Portillo and Ryan Johnson coming along. A handful of prospects just “graduated” - Tage, Mitts, Asplund, Samuelsson, Cozens, R2... 1 Quote

GASabresIUFAN Posted July 25, 2021 Author Report Posted July 25, 2021 I’ve updated the depth chart to reflect Reinhart’s departure and the addition of Power. I’m assuming Power signs a deal and comes to Buffalo, but there is a good chance he returns to school. Quote

If there is any development that can happen in college (gets more time working out, gets more ice time than he would in Buffalo, actually has a good time playing hockey, etc), then I'd be 100% good with him playing a full year in college...and at the end of the year getting a couple games in with Buffalo or Rochester.

bob_sauve28 Posted July 25, 2021 Report Posted July 25, 2021 I kind of like our forward group. ATM line is so fun to watch and they put up points: Mitts Tage Asplund Putting the checking line of Girgs, Okposo and Bjork? together, that could be good again. Olofsson, Skinner R2 Cozens can all score goals. This is not a bad group at all. If we keep Jack it’s even better. Quote

Sadly it won't matter if we don't get some decent goalies. Quote
