Give him 9 games with Savoie, I believe they have to play 9 games before a determination is required before sending him back to juniors.

Have both of them play a total of 9 games but not the same 9 games. That gives you 18 games, with Quinn out that gets you through all of October and most of November. Then send both of them back to juniors...

Good post ref

Maybe kulich gets his 9 games after they send savoie and benson back together?

Does make me feel comfortable with the in house replacement of Quinn until January.

Kulich can play as many games as the Sabres want, they can start him in Rochester and call him up whenever as well.

Kulich's deal could slide again, but his 9 games is a different story, since he can be recalled any time.

If he plays less than 10, it's huge disappointment.

Tatar would be a great play for a 1 year deal

just gotta get Olofsson the (frank) out.

Tuch, Quinn, Tatar, Okposo down the right, works well.

He's not a great skater. Bit like a certain player you hate.

Run on D played a big part in dropping him too.

- Lunaion


Oh, no

Its interesting how the new guy resurfaces at the near/ top of our prospects list. Says a lot about the depth of the draft.

👍

You gotta think contracts and future eligibility takes a little stategy.

I'm sure there's some penny pinching involved

[quote=Stripes77]There are still a few question marks in what you posted



Using Clifton instead of Joker in the top 4 isn't a sure thing, Clifton hasn't played those types of minutes before, can he do it? We will see.

Stripes - review Clifton's first 60 games last year and his analytics. He absolutely is not a sure thing, he absolutely played those types of minutes (on the best regular season team in the history of hockey)

There is no way that Benson is a better prospect than Kulich.

His name is tatar

The Sabres would have to move/waive several players at this point to bring anyone in.

Another 4th liner gets 3 year term. Zach MacEwen doesn't actually do anything.

Isn't that the one that was blacked out for the first period for much of the 716? I can't remember the last time I was that mad.

He played a total of 19gms last year where he would have been within Powers realm of minutes. No he absolutely hasn't proven he can play 82gms at that level. He's a good signing, but we shall see. And I will throw a thousand dollars on the table that says Dahlin and Power and Power Samuelsson will be partners a bit more during the year than they normally would be to help manage and build up Clifton's minutes.

This should be the summer of moving people down the depth chart

So far not even a sniff of that

- ieetbred


Really? Seems like Bryson, Clague, Joker, Stillman and Boosh might have their hands up in the air.

He'd be a sneaky good pick up and agreed...just get 71 off this roster. I swear to God if he's on Cozens wing come opening night.
