They looked horrible the past 4 periods.

67 = top 3 pick

72-75 top 5 pick
- Boss34

correct

Be that as it may, the lineup facing said goalies doesn't exactly have a McDavid or Leon, a Barkov or Huberdeau, a Landeskog or MacKinnon, etc etc etc in the lineup.

It's not as if we're icing a legit top 6 and we can't beat an actual starting goalie...as we've seen multiple times over the past 14 seasons

i'd really like to see them finish higher, and they probably could by maintaining that shooting percentage and sv%...but it's a pretty tall order

If I can't get two of the forwards and UPL up for these 5 games in 7 days shame on the Sabres. This is 10 points up for grabs in a week. HELP YOUR TEAM OUT!!!

I'd also like to substitute Samuelsson for Wolanin

Samuelsson is ready.

Probably should have made the team out of camp IMO.

Donnie played him big minutes at the end of last year.

Although I also agree with keeping the kids away from this mess. A guy like samuelsson could add a winning boost...

Hope you're well Tony... this place is better with you around.

Why do top picks play immediately? They play if they are ready and can't benefit from the ahl.

Generally introducing these young guys to bad teams.


If samuelsson is ready and could maybe help repair dahlins game.

He's gonna be the first real call up Imo

do you go to Rochester games? is that how you are forming this opinion or are you going off of what you saw last season and the preseason?

Leave him in Roc
- Fattony1187

agreed...let him get things rolling there as he's only played six games since returning from injury...that and you want rochester to roll as well...young kids need to play big minutes and hopefully succeed in an environment where they're expected to win and/or need to learn how to win...together...as a team

I'm generally on the boat for leaving Rochester alone and letting these kids win together kinda like the 00'-04 era.

Fair question:

Based on last season and the high ice time totals / tv viewing only. (Pandemic)

Basically pulling it out of my a$$.... and small sample size

gotcha.. i was just curious if you had seen him play in roch this year because i would be curious.. i thought he looked good at times last season but needed just a little more growth. He could be a good partner for someone like Dahlin

I value this opinion as well.

Just watched 2 full lines out of 4 that shouldnt be in the nhl last night.

The defense looked brutal.

If dahlin needs a partner and samuelsson maybe the answer, let's take a look.


Or leave him alone ☝️

I get the idea he's the call up if miller is out, butcher needs a view from above for a bit...

Absolutely, at some point you maybe see if they have a bond? Then let them develop.....

Lol that would be dumb. Keep the kids down in roch. You don’t need them right now

Let them win in roch and have fun

Leave him in Roc

Actually isn’t he technically on loan to Rochester? Instead of being completely sent down.

He actually might have to come up soon

Players would be so much better if they played in AHl first. NHL is only league that does that. Even NBA moved away from that but we force young potential studs into horrible situations. Look what it did to Jack and now Rasmus

This is false in the last 5-10 years they've actually started to use it even more. More and more NBA players come from the G-league then ever before.


"An all-time high 45 percent of players on NBA start-of-season rosters for 2020-21 had NBA G League experience — 224 of the league's 497 players."
