Yes you do, until they are 100% ready. you can shake your head all you want.

Who says they aren't ready? Most of them aren't even in the lineup. You wanna watch this sh!t again?

Dressing Tuch, Krebs, JJ, Quinn, Power, etc over Eakin, Bjork, VO, Vinnie, Butcher, etc?

Ah no, You don't. You keep Krebs and Quinn in the AHL full-time next year? You want Power in the AHL next year and Samuelsson to get another year there? YIKES.

smh

Gerbe has already said they are planning on tanking next year for the Bed man or the other guy…. Maybe Samuelson gets and NHL spot, other then that, the kids stay put and power goes to the ahl. We get tank 5.0… 6.0? How many tanks are we on?

Ya, you should recognize that.

Also sorry to break it to you but Power isn't going to the AHL next year.

I seem to recognize it fine, you seem to be the one that can't see it. Stevie Wonder can but you can't.

Like you said....

Guys like Krebs, Power and Quinn have nothing to gain going back. I could see JJ getting another year and Johnson going there. Samuelsson is 21 and will be in the NHL next year.

That is the natural progression.

Nothing like throwing kids in that aren't ready and we continue to lose, what a great atmosphere to teach your young players.

Ok, we can revisit this next year. Delete your account when you are wrong and Power, Krebs and Quinn are in the starting lineup.

The only way Samuelsson is not in the lineup is if he isn't an NHL player. He doesn't need 3-4 years in the AHL. This is his second.

What makes you think you know they aren't ready? You are just automatically assuming that.

On top of that its a blanket across the whole prospect pool you feel that way about.

Samuelsson could probably make the jump now but we have too many defensemen

If Krebs wasn't on Covid protocol and kept the momentum he had he might have been here to stay.

He was the best player in a sabres uniform 2 of the 3 games he played.

Most of them are/were learning to win this year in Rochester. They are all getting a cup of coffee in the show, too. They're doing it right. If they weren't, Krebs would've been up the day after the trade, and JJ and Quinn might have made the team out of training camp (being that they are more talented than 90% of this roster).

Samuelsson just returned to the lineup in Rochester from injury but my money is on him getting the next call-up

why so serious...we knew what this team was from the get-go...they had a good start, which was predicted based upon the schedule and we knew they'd come back down to earth

Losing was “going to be entertaining” this year because it’s not losing with Krueger.

Are you not entertained?
