Michael Pachla: Amerks roll on KeyBank Center ice, Sabres at Montreal tonight

Me first! Time to go read.

Interesting that Nelson was the extra defenseman... go sabres 3-2 for the win

Bailey’s first goal was a beauty...

Olofsson got hurt last night in Buffalo

Playing for Rochester

Seriously, why is Dahlin playing with Beaulieu


WTF, kid can play 22 to 24 minutes a night and is our best D man already

for those wondering

Pu has 1 point in the ahl this season, 7 games

Baptiste has 6 points in 14 ahl games this season

Fasching has 6 points in 11 ahl games this season

Petersen has a 4.20 GAA and .879 save % in the AHL this season

Moulson has 11 points in 10 games in the AHL

Mikko Rantanen is a beast

I’m legitimately shocked at how underwhelming Guhle has been.

I am not

He was their worst D man in the playoffs last season, and Pilut is way ahead of him on the depth chart now.

Dahlin should be playing 24 minutes a night with the big club, Pilut 18


instead we are talking about the myth Nelson and about to watch Dahlin play 13 minutes with Beaulieu

2+4 for 6p in 12 games, even +/-

Not sure what kind of PP time he's getting. I think Pilut and Redmond may be on PP1

I think Nelson has earned a spot in the top six.

Beaulieu is a question, but I haven't ruled him out. For that matter, Bogo either. I would like to see Pilut get an audition 10 games though, because I sense he has the same abilities as some of the other guys who are in the mix now.

The game was fun to watch overall last night. That line had a lot of good chances, just never seemed to be able to get one by Berube.

The game had a great pace and there was a lot of physical play as well.

Did you go? Wish it would have been on MSG. I didn't look for a stream

Yeah, I always try to get to this game each year. I also like to try to get to a game up in Rochester each year, though with my work schedule and the way their schedule is it's been tough.

Friday nights are hard because I work til 5 and then have to drive up there so it's a tight time frame. Saturday's they tend to be away and if they do have a home game it seems I always have something else going on already.

"Mackey also reports multiple sources said the Penguins are listening to offers for young winger Daniel Sprong, though it’s less clear if they’re actually hearing anything. The 21-year-old Spring is struggling but still has considerable potential, which could make Rutherford prefer to slow-play this situation and remain patient with the youngster.

NICHOLS ON HOCKEY: During a recent appearance on NBCSN, TSN’s Darren Dreger said he’d be surprised if Sprong isn’t traded. He speculates it could be a small move but suggested Rutherford could have some bigger up his sleeve. "



I still see the Sabres as a trading option with the pens

mccabe and girgens for sprong and something decent


dahlin
pilut
guhle
hickey
samuelsson
cronholm
bryson


all have 1 thing in common

Those were Bailey's first two goals this season

Girgensons has more points in the NHL playing with Larsson than Bailey has in the AHL

Bailey is a career AHLer at this point

Sucks because I had high hopes for him

Sprong stinks, moving McCabe for him is foolish.

Don't think they are looking to move Risto, i'm sure in time Dahlin will move up.

Patrik Laine will continue to skate on the Jets third line.

Laine has been playing with Adam Lowry and Brandon Tanev. "He’s adapted himself to the two guys he’s playing with," head coach Paul Maurice said Wednesday. "I’m not sure I have that long-term, but it’s the right direction for his personal game. A little harder, more direct." Laine will continue to be an elite scorer no matter who he plays with, but putting him other offensive guys would certainly help. He has seven goals and nine points in 14 games this season. He's on pace to surpass the 40-goal mark again


On the 3rd line ?

Laine - 1st line talent on the 3rd line. 40 goal pace for the season.

reinhart- 3rd line talent on the 3rd line. 6 goal pace for the season

What does Risto get the Sabres from the Oilers?

Sure. so move risto down and hurt his value, besides, bogo gets all the time in the world on the Sabres but Risto's down so trade him?
