Sabres have called up Isak Rosen

[Brawndo]

Per Sabres PR

[LGR4GM]

Excited to see what he's got. 

[Porous Five Hole]

That’s a little weird since he was supposed to skate in the AHL all-star game tonight. Maybe after the game he will report to Buffalo?

 

He participated in the skills challenge last night.

Guess that means no Tage tomorrow

Kozak went on IR

well deserved call-up for Rosen

[Flashsabre]

I hope they give him a real shot. Play him with Kulich as they are best friends and have great chemistry.

If he plays 4th line and gets 4 shifts then there is no point

[sabresouth]

Anybody know the status on Tage?

Coach said he was good. He must be playing or they’d have at least kept things vague enough so as to influence the league on a suspension imo

If Tage is playing would they want to mess with that line’s chemistry?

They play Tuesday so he's gotta get on a plane now.

Typically stupidity by the Sabres organization to deprive the kid of a chance to enjoy the all-star experience.

I remember hating the pick from GMKA (thought it was a reach), but I hope Rosen proves me wrong.

Is he the muscle to protect our flyweight pugilists?

Maybe the success Kulich has had recently is behind the decision to give Rosen another look.  It seemed like their development cycles have been tracking each other's the last few seasons.

For what it's worth, despite being picked several spots later in his draft that Rosen was in his draft, I've always thought Kulich was the better prospect.

And I agree with those above that unless there's an injury forcing Rosen to get called up to play, let the kid enjoy his All-Star experience and call him up in 3 days.  If he ultimately sticks with the Sabres this season or next, Rosen is not likely to be seeing any more All-Star experiences in his career.  If his NHL career pans out, he'll likely be a middle-six winger and those guys are not playing in All-Star games.

Replacing Tage I can see, replacing Kozak I don't get. He's not a 4th line player if you want any sort of identity. The call ups should mirror the type of player you are replacing and his role on the team but whatever.

The idea that he is being deprived of his “AHL All Star experience” is pure conjecture. Does it occur to people that perhaps he will enjoy is NHL experience even more?

Probably Quinn. He got jacked twice yesterday and only played a season low 8:41. Only had 2 shifts after the SHG by Jack Hughes.

[dudacek]

Undersized first round draft pick emerges as a point-per-game player at age 21 in his 3rd AHL season, explodes with a run of 9 goals in 7 games, and gets an NHL look?

Isnt this kinda how it’s supposed to work with prospects?

Can you imagine the reaction here if any tiny part of Rosen actually preferred going to an AHL skills competition to the NHL roster?

Sometimes a puck is just a puck.

Yeah, no chance he cares about that. But it is funny he's missing his 2nd straight AHL all-star game with call-ups. lol

What do you suggest? Not calling him up? Making him fly out same day? Were the Sabres "stupid" for not knowing Kozak would get injured? Tell me like I'm 5.

Simple, play your other NHL players who are already on the roster (ex. Lafferty) for tomorrow night.  Otherwise call up NAK if you need somebody from Rochester.  If you want to give Rosen a look, do it for the next game.

He’ll certainly enjoy the extra zero at the end of his paycheck.
