They wished him good luck. I would count on Helenius then opening the year in Rochester. From the comments of his Liiga coach Olli Jokinen, it sounded like he was ready for more than the Finnish league. I know Jokinen said he was going to take a run at the Sabres lineup but that sounded more like a coach trying to inspire his player. He did have a good U18 year there and he probably could benefit more from the AHL if he is mature enough to make the jump. Quote

Tappara wishes his breed good luck on the journey! #Tappara #Liiga Breed? 🤔 I think his breed should be translated about as their prospect. I have hard to find the right words for that in English. Tappara is not expecting him to play in Liiga this season as it seems. 2 1 Quote
Flashsabre Posted August 5 Report Posted August 5 He is definitely in the Benson mode of he will be an NHLer sooner rather than later. Both players have elite brains and motors. Konsta obviously has better size and strength at 18. I expect him in Rochester this season with a call up if things are going well for him during the season. Quote

Am actually looking forward to the Sabres only having 1 or 3 pregame solo skates this year rather than the 10-12 that we seemingly see every year. Quote

It's just funny to read. 1 Quote
