Either Buffalo or Finland. If he leaves, you'll know the Sabres have soured on him. Maybe another team will give him an NHL opportunity?
- TheSabresTaco

Didn’t backread, but I’m assuming you’re talking about Routsalainen

It would be great (imo) to give him a shot here,
a “real shot” that is
But I’m struggling to see how we actually would be able to do that
With Quinn & Peterka solidly ahead of him,
it’s hard to see where he could slot in….

Maybe if we were to trade Olofsson or Mitts & not bring anyone else in to replace them
Other than that, i think it’s a numbers game that he’s gonna come out on the wrong side of

He could get some call up time next year with injuries, but that’s if he’s even back in Rochester next year

No problem, I just found out a few minutes ago.
- SABRES 89

Appreciate the info as always sir

Gerbe

Give me all you have on Cooley, slaf and jiricek
- dmarsden2988

Cooley
High comparison calling - Point
Low comparison calling - Johnson

Slafkovsky
High comparison calling : Rantanen but way more physical in hitting etc
Low comparison calling: oilers Zack Kassian
0% he hits his low calling

I wouldn't use that word when he was demoted. They wanted him to work on his game. If the Sabres aren't guaranteeing him a spot out of camp, he gone.
- TheSabresTaco

Might be a tad harsh, but timing is everything. That was his opportunity and now Quinn and Peterka are the favorites to land spots. There's no way they can guarantee him a spot.

Just an aside, I got a call from the amerks box office following up on my ticket purchase/experience vs. Belleville last week. Not pushy trying to sell tickets but just a nice call.

Also told me that you can order tickets direct through the box office to save fees. Maybe management/ownership is turning a page on fan engagement

100%.

I buy into my friends seasons and the customer service we've experienced from his account manager is the best in 17 seasons and it's not even close. From coming up to the 300s to shoot the breeze to some pretty nice perks just because, it's been such a noticeable and appreciated change. I know they brought in someone from San Jose who used to run that side of the house for the Sharks and wow what a difference.

I'd sign up for this now if I could if it means the Sabres would get Nazar and Isaac Howard with their first two picks.
- kingcong39

Nazar is all over the board with different Ratings...from like 6th to mid-teens.

Tie game. Utica have completely dominated the second.

Good lord R2 with another goal.

Is Debrincat worth the 9th pick

- The_Inkwell

has he signed that europe contract?

Is Debrincat worth the 9th pick
- Buff36

Probably, but look at the contract situation. Not a Pegula-friendly deal.

Kid is a goal scoring machine.

- Lunaion

That why I don't think he worth the 9th, his contract

Do you trade 16 and Mitts for PK88?

That why I don't think he worth the 9th, his contract
- Buff36

Those backloaded 3 year bridges are pure poison, even with the rule change....and his is before the change.

Nazar is all over the board with different Ratings...from like 6th to mid-teens.
- IonSabres

Nazar and Howard would be a tremendous top 2 picks for the Sabres.

Is Debrincat worth the 9th pick
- Buff36

Yes. Over the last two years, only 7 guys have scored more goals then him.

Do you trade 16 and Mitts for PK88?
- BeadyEyedDouche

if he signs for 2 or 3 more years, yes

That why I don't think he worth the 9th, his contract
- Buff36

side note

DING

Springer lead off homer earlier

if he signs for 2 or 3 more years, yes
- homiedclown

No, 16 and Mitts for the one year and hope he extends. If he is signed it’s more expensive.

- BeadyEyedDouche

probably get a first plus if he will not sign at deadline

I mean he is better then hall by a mile

canes up on bruins 3-0

scum bag deangelo with a goal and an assist

Is Debrincat worth the 9th pick
- Buff36

Hell yeah he is
DeBrincat scores at a pace of 40+ goals per season
That’s pretty valuable
We’d be hoping that pick would turn into a 40goal scorer

If Jiricek somehow fell to pick9,
I’d offer 16, our FLA 1st, and even our 2nd for DeBrincat

Do you trade 16 and Mitts for PK88?
- BeadyEyedDouche

Not for 1 year of him
Why not just wait till he’s a UFA & make a run at Kane if we really want him?
