I go to turn on WGR to hopefully get some post draft coverage and they are talking about sports movies.

Amazing stuff that station.

Now if Johnson and Portillo sign, that top 12 is pretty strong.

If you know the guys after the 4th round well enough to say that, you deserve that sticker.

Savoie + Kulich is enough to make me happy.

Definitely worried they are losing at goalie musical chairs again.

It was kinda a joke, was surprised they used them all. But they did get some good value.

They're putting it all together, from the top on down.

He has talked about the draft quite a bit, including now. How much is there really to say? He talked about movies for a couple of minutes because Savoie has the same name as the batboy in the natural. Is it always raining where you live?

I have no idea. I'm assuming every team thinks they got value with their late picks.

No idea how they can sign all of these guys, but that's a few years down the road.

I turned it on, he was talking about worst coaching decisions in movies for probably 10 minutes. Immediately turned it off

The must sign by date that CapFriendly has here is quite helpful.

Hopefully if nothing else, maybe a future asset.

Wow

As much as Adams has been beat up on here for being the GM of the Harborcenter to being GM of the Sabres, you can certainly see pure emotion from a guy who has been here through Murray, Botts, coach after coach.

I don't think I have ever seen a front office guy get that emotional talking about someone who is alive and well.

That's some good stuff

does Savoie sign a contract before the fall, and if so does he get a shot to make the big club

he has the weight for his size

Source? Sakic met with him 2 days ago. They said they absolutely wanted him but completely understand that this is probably his chance to get paid.
- Slump Buster


Check out his .902 save %.
They won the cup with kuemper, not because of him partic6.
And sure you're right, sakic publicity said something, it must be true . 😀
The kiss goodbye , so someone else even pays more....

Likely he signs his deal and has an outside chance to make the team, but doesn't.

That's a good question - I hadn't thought of that. I bet they give him a shot but ultimately prefer that he goes back as it would let him continue to develop as well as starting his clock later. He probably has the speed to start here if they really want him to.

I'll be darn impressed with him and the club if he's given a fair shot and is able to stick up here. Put the fear of competition into Fatty, Skinny, and Cozens.

The following year is interesting. He'll be too young to play in the AHL by 1 day.

Did Olofsson get traded?
Last thing i saw about him was Adams saying they’re working on a contract

Savoie will go back to Winnipeg for one more year, but I anticipate he’ll be ready the year after

if the rookie makes the club it's either bye bye casey or olofsson
