JohnC Posted November 13, 2021 Report Posted November 13, 2021 3 hours ago, K-9 said: I’m fully on board with letting him stay in the A for as long as they deem necessary, but JJ is NHL ready to play at the next level, regardless. Easy to understand why the Sabres deliberated before making him the last cut out of camp. He is simply better than the jags currently on the team. It wouldn't be much of a surprise that towards the end of the season JJ and Krebs are brought up. However, it might make sense if Rochester is involved in a playoff run that the organization keeps at least two of the three aforementioned players with the AHL team for the playoffs. It's certainly is a much more pleasant topic to discuss which players in the system are ready to move up the ranks than to discuss how barren our system is compared to other franchises. The tide is turning! 3 Quote

Krebs already makes things better, if they get another guy, it’s not really that sense of loss, anymore. It’s probably also mitigated for me by the fact that you like to see your Cs with good playmaking ability and Quinn seems to playmake pretty well from the W. They needed to keep the “Jack” quota up to snuff? I have nothing against him but center is the most important position imo and centers can move to wing if needed. The draft pick just makes less sense now with how jack requested a trade last year Quote

Larsson is a very effective checking line C but is not good on the wing. Thompson seems to be trending towards being able to play C but lost at wing as well. 1 Quote
dudacek Posted November 13, 2021 Report Posted November 13, 2021 3 hours ago, Thorny said: Right, but that would hold true for me if those guys were playing the proper roles - generally replacing a Hinostroza level talent is bottom 11/12 on a roster, currently we have players like Caggiula and Hinostroza in 7th and 8th for average ice time among F. Butcher is 4th overall for skaters on the team. Being better then those guys gets you top 6 minutes/top 4 minutes, which I wouldn't exactly call entry level - - - Hinostoza has been with Cozens though so in that sense, if you slid in a ready prospect, it could work well. I guess I just mean I haven't really shifted my stance that I wish the roster still had a bit more of a strong veteran presence up top - but of course if the team hovers around .500 for a long time, my opinion will start to shift on that. The roster is still outperforming my expectations. This is pretty much what I want, though — 3rd-line minutes for the prospects, pushing the better JAGs to the 4th line where they belong and the lesser JAGs to the press box. And remember, we haven't seen Jokiharju or Mittelstadt and lately VO. Quote
dudacek Posted November 13, 2021 Report Posted November 13, 2021 Reports of Mattias Samuelsson's slow feet have been greatly exaggerated. At this level at least, he gets around just fine, and reads the play well enough that he's rarely chasing. 3 Quote

inkman Posted November 13, 2021 Report Posted November 13, 2021 Peterka with the snipe. they are playing freeze frame after the goal. 👀 Quote
dudacek Posted November 13, 2021 Report Posted November 13, 2021 (edited) Macinnis with the decision in the 1st bout of the night. Didn't know he had that in him. He, Jankowski and Murray bring a notable size to the Amerks we don't have on the Sabres. Edited November 13, 2021 by dudacek Quote
Brawndo Posted November 13, 2021 Author Report Posted November 13, 2021 Quinn gets an assist as well 2 Quote

Flashsabre Posted November 13, 2021 Report Posted November 13, 2021 Peterka Krebs Quinn with Samuelsson and Fitzgerald on for that goal. Nice Quote
dudacek Posted November 13, 2021 Report Posted November 13, 2021 (edited) Krebs ain't got the finish of his linemates. At least the 3rd time I've seen him set up in slot for a golden opportunity and he's failed to bury it. He gets to the right spots and Quinn's done a good job finding him. And goal!

Flashsabre Posted November 13, 2021 Report Posted November 13, 2021 Mersh Biro Murray is a good secondary scoring line Keep Peterka Krebs Quinn together Quote
dudacek Posted November 14, 2021 Report Posted November 14, 2021 (edited) Krebs sets up Quinn for a glorious chance then pots the rebound himself. 3-0 Amerks. EDIT: Sorry, Peterka with the set-up. Points for all three there. Edited November 14, 2021 by dudacek 2 Quote
dudacek Posted November 14, 2021 Report Posted November 14, 2021 Weird. Looks like it's Quinn's goal. Apparently Krebs didn't connect as he tried to sweep in the rebound and it was actually a Monster that knocked it in. Quote
PickaPecaPickles Posted November 14, 2021 Report Posted November 14, 2021 If Quinn can get a goal,that would give each one on the line a goal and 3 points (assuming the assists). Quote

Quinn and Peterka each 1/1/2 right now. Krebs has 1 assist. Really like how Krebs and Quinn are regularly killing penalties as a unit in addition to being on the 1st PP.

dudacek Posted November 14, 2021 Report Posted November 14, 2021 Counting tonight, Samuelsson now has 5 points in a little less than 5 games. +4, 12 shots on goal, physically dominant, calm and composed. He's ready. 1 Quote

dudacek Posted November 14, 2021 Report Posted November 14, 2021 Fitzgerald from the point off a forecheck from the 4th line. 4-0 Quote
dudacek Posted November 14, 2021 Report Posted November 14, 2021 4-0 final. UPL full value for the shutout. He's been very solid the past 3 games. 2 Quote
