Did he put on the weight everyone wanted, or is it just the lack of talent on the ice? He does look really good... really engaged. 1 Quote
North Buffalo Posted September 17, 2023 Report Posted September 17, 2023 Except for a couple momentary lapses including the GA, Sabres prospects break up a lot of plays with their sticks... not overly physical but good use of the body on D and have a little chippy to their game Quote
RochesterExpat Posted September 17, 2023 Report Posted September 17, 2023 Novikov again plays the poke check perfectly. Quote
Brawndo Posted September 17, 2023 Report Posted September 17, 2023 Kulich with the seeing eye goal Quote
RochesterExpat Posted September 17, 2023 Report Posted September 17, 2023 Kulich with a nifty backhand Quote

I made it a point to focus on him during this tourney and he hasn’t disappointed in the least. You can kinda tell he’s played at a higher level of hockey before. Quote

LabattBlue Posted September 17, 2023 Report Posted September 17, 2023 Final score and goal scorers for the good guys? Quote
PerreaultForever Posted September 17, 2023 Report Posted September 17, 2023 Fleming was an interesting surprise. Some additional goalie prospect possibilities down the line. He did a lot of things right and has potential. There's no question the offensive skill is off the charts for this prospect pool. Not sure how that's all gonna shake out down the line. Too many similar guys looking for the same jobs. We shall see what happens. The D not so great imo. Not impressed with Johnson for all the hype. We might want to consider flipping a few forward prospects to somebody for a few D prospects. 1 1 Quote

His skating is impressive and lives up to the hype, but I don’t see him as NHL-ready and I think that’s my knock on him. The expectation people seem to have is that he’s ready or near-ready for the Big Show and I don’t see it. If he were any other 22 year old I’d say he did great. The issue is with my expectations. Not saying that’s the case for you as well, but I recognize that’s my issue with him. It’s the same reason (although inverted) Fleming was such an impressive goalie. I had zero expectations for him. He exceeded zero by a mile. Metsa as well. Metsa is on an AHL contract so my expectation would be that he’d be pretty far behind Johnson in readiness, but Metsa, as of today, isn’t. 2 Quote
Pimlach Posted September 17, 2023 Report Posted September 17, 2023 Fun to watch this. Some good looking prospects at F and D imo. Sabres draft and develop strategy is progressing. 2 Quote

Actually, Metsa should be ahead of Johnson as immediately after winning the national championship, he signed with the Amerks and gained huge experience in the 13 playoff games he played in. Not sure what others are seeing, but Johnson has looked good in the two games. Him and Metsa just might be paired in Rochester, too. 1 2 Quote
Flashsabre Posted September 17, 2023 Report Posted September 17, 2023 For a 2nd OA pick Nemec was not impressive in the least tonight. Quote
... Posted September 17, 2023 Report Posted September 17, 2023 (edited) Is there a reliable, single location for all of these prospects? Perhaps it's because the summer was long, but the game tonight was really fun to watch. Where did Josh Fleming come from? is he this kid? https://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=253029 They better makes sure this guy is in our pipeline. Ratzlaff looked pretty good yesterday but Fleming stand out over him IMHO. In other news, I thought Johnson was pretty good. Metsa was good until I noticed he was 24 already. Nikita Novikov stands out. Savoie and Benson look good, of course. Isak Rosén was good. Edited September 17, 2023 by ... One man's cut-n-paste is another man's trash. Quote
Rasmus_ Posted September 17, 2023 Report Posted September 17, 2023 Rosen has grown a lot, he looks bigger and much more aggressive attacking the zone. He's impressed me along with Johnson and Metsa. Matthew Savoie looks fantastic as do Benson and Kulich. The German defenseman made some really nice plays (I know it begins with a "P"). Really impressed with what I've seen. You see little ripples with Kisakov and Neuchev as well! Quote
shrader Posted September 17, 2023 Report Posted September 17, 2023 Is any other team in this event able to throw 5 first round picks out there? And the crazy thing is that they also have Östlund unavailable. Quote
ddaryl Posted September 17, 2023 Report Posted September 17, 2023 (edited) Lots of positives through 2 games. Great combo of size and speed on display Our Goalie pipeline is looking much better. Fleming looked real solid. Calm cool and collected. Rosen is a stud. For the most part the Sabres team D was sound. When NJ was pressing the Sabres kept the play to the outside and NJ never really got many scoring chances. Penalty kill on the 5 and 3 Team sticking up for each other with scrums at the end was a positive That was fun Sabres prospect hockey, once again we dominated.

North Buffalo Posted September 17, 2023 Report Posted September 17, 2023 So nice to have hockey back! 1 Quote
Pimlach Posted September 17, 2023 Report Posted September 17, 2023 (edited) Does anyone have an updated height and weight for Rosen and Kulich? It was asked before, how did we get Fleming? edit: Fleming is 18, undrafted, from Quebec. Invited to camp to fill a spot. Edited September 17, 2023 by Pimlach 1 Quote
