In addition to mental and physical maturity, I do believe that many players also continue to develop their hockey skills in the A and in the NHL.  How else do you explain guys like Brandon Hagel?

I believe players can develop their game without any exposure to the AHL.

That being said, the AHL definitely serves a purpose for “non-elite” prospects.

You don't think TNT is elite or that Quinn has the potential to be elite?  TNT spent parts for 4 different seasons in the A.

Where did I say that? I did say that both of them gained virtually nothing from playing in the AHL.

ICE take a 5-min major and then a minor and give up 3 PP goals in the first period and a 4-0  deficit overall. Savoie aggressive on the PK, but not at fault on the 2 PP goals allowed he was on for. A good stretch pass for one of the assists.

Nadeau with an assist as Gatineau takes 2 games to 0 lead.
Good gravy! Gatineau outshot Rouyn-Noranda 59-12. The Huskies had 4 shots in each period and were 0/4 on the PP. No highlights to report.

Komarov with an assist as Quebec takes a 2-0 lead in their series.
Komarov's assist was on a nice short pass zone entry on his part. The goal was one the goalie and defender would want back -- one of those out beyond the circles "if you're not going to block it, get out of the way so the goalie sees it all the way" ones.

Viljami Marjala had 9 points in 15 games in SM-liiga league. He tied for the team lead in points per game as a 19/20 year old.

He also had 51 points in 32 games for U20 SM-sarja - 2022-2023

Nadeau is the first star with 2G and 1A as Gatineau sweeps their 2nd round series.

Komarov with an assist as Quebec sweeps their 2nd round series.

Savoie scores 1 goal to help pull the ICE back even at 2-2 in a tough series with a talented Moose Jaw team.

Sure sounded like the Sabres will be doing what they can to bring Neuchev and Novikov over this year.

Wouldn't that be nice.  I'd love to see Neuchev on the Amerks.

FYI all 4 remaining Sabres CHL prospects remain alive in the playoffs in their respective leagues

Savoie's Wpg Ice are up 3-2 over Moose Jaw.  Matt has 9g and 16 pts in 9 playoff games so far (3g 4a in this series).  Their next game is Monday.  Lindgren's Red Deer Rebels lead 3-2 over Saskatoon, but lead this series 3-0, before losing the last 2.  Mats has 2g and 6a in 10 playoff games so far, but only 1a in this series. They play tomorrow.

Over in the Q, Nadeau's Gatineau Olympiques buried the Huskies 4-0 and by a collective score of 23-4.  Nadeau had 7 goals in the series.  Komarov's Quebec Rampants also won in 4 straight.  Komarov was +4 with 2a and 9 hits.

QMJHL semi finals are set.

Quebec vs Gatineau means Nadeau or Komarov will be out of the next round but it means one of them gets to the league finals.

Halifax and Sherbrooke is the other matchup.

Used to be a heck of an AHL matchup

Savoie with 2A after two periods. Winnipeg taking it to Moose Jaw 8-1.

[French Collection]

8-2 final, Savoie also was +3. The Ice are 1 win away from the eastern final.

Actually, that's the 4th win of the series.  The Ice advance 4-2. They'll play the winner of Lindgren's Red Deer Rebels vs the Saskatoon Blades game tomorrow.

Interestingly enough the two teams in the other group are both 8-0 going into the conference final

Yes.  Gatineau won their four games by a collective score of 23-4.

Kamloops plays Seattle which will be a battle of the titans. The winner plays the Winner of the Winnipeg-Red Deer/Saskatoon Series.

Kamloops hosts the Memorial Cup this year. It means that if Kamloops makes it to the WHL finals then whoever plays them gets into the Memorial Cup as well.

So If Kamloops beats Seattle and Winnipeg wins and faces them then both teams are in regardless of the final series.

If Seattle wins and plays Winnipeg then the winner of that series is in along with Kamloops.

Hopefully Savoie makes it to the Memorial Cup as it would be great for his development.

Yes, Kamloops is in the Memorial Cup regardless of how they perform.

They are the host so that guarantees a spot. Saint John Seadogs won the Cup last year even though they were eliminated in the first round in the Q playoffs.

If Gatineau makes it that would be 2 years in a row for Nadeau, he was with Shawinigan last year.

A strange occurrence for Saint John was the firing of their coach after the first round loss. The team hired a new coach and had a month of practices before the Memorial Cup.

They hired the coach of the University team out there. It was a highly unusual move.

Josh Bloom is no longer a Sabres prospect but because he plays near me I have watched most of his playoff games.

He is on a good team but is now basically a third liner. He has 7 points in 12 games, about half of his regular season pace. He plays on both special teams but is not a real important piece.

He might develop into an NHL player but I think the Sabres will get more out of Stillman than they would have with Bloom.
