Lack of any skill or attribute that sets him apart, and he rarely even plays like an agitator.

He’s like Kaleta but somehow has worse hockey sense, barely hits anyone, won’t fight, and hardly agitates.

Wow, started slow like JJ and Quinn last year, but now hitting his stride. Rosen too? 

[WhenWillItEnd66]

We have some great talent in the pipeline!!! Even with out college kids we are stacked if we can keep them all! Need a bigger defensive dman, another power possession forward and a solid better then average minder and we are good to go for years to come!

How have Houser and Subban looked?  Are either of them a good replacement for UPL in Buffalo?

I was going to say that seeing a trio of rookies in a row there is nice. Apparently Rousek isn’t one though, but he may as well be.

The Sabres could purchase it from Rochester if they have the room.

That’s not how it works. He has to sign a new deal. But anyway, they’re not going to give a contract to a 5th goalie unless it’s the doomsday scenario we’ve seen the last two years. Even with only 43 contracts right now, it’s not worth it to have less flexibility for any later moves this year. The only new goalie contracts are earmarked for Levi/Portillo in the spring.

Where are you getting 43 from?  Puckpedia has it at 47.

I wonder if they have a few signed in major junior that one site is counting and the other isn’t. 
 

edit: Savoie, Östlund, Bloom, Nadeau?

And I love that autocorrect fixed Östlund’s name because I have no clue how to type that.

Junior team in Rochester. Many familiar names on the coaching staff.

If anyone cares, Matej has 3 goals and 8 points in 11 games with the Cyclones.  I guess that had to call up someone.

Wonder if he grasps this last chance to keep his career going on this side of the pond?

Well he had 0 PIMs in Cincy so it doesn’t appear he understands what is going to get him onto an AHL roster

While all eyes were on Sabres-Wild, it looks like Subban had a goalie fight after the end of the Amerks-Crunch game. 4-3 Amerks.

Pekar's claim to fame is one hit on Dahlin at a prospects camp.

Kulich and Rosen have returned, so for Pekar it's back to Cincinnati is my guess.

Biro is an all-star, and the honor is well deserved imo.  He's had a good consistent year.  It's funny, when I watch him, I don't think I've ever been blown away.  But he puts up points consistently and appears to do the right things for the most part.  I don't think he gets the respect from a lot of Sabres fans b/c he wasn't drafted, but the guy definitely has talent.  Certainly a possible call up from Rochester at some point this year
