wouldn't think it he would be a good match for the Sabres: LHD, not very good in his own zone, who's he taking PP time from?

There's a German article claiming they wanted him nowhere near the national team because of "his views"

There's also some striking similarities to a certain flag and it's colors on one of his helmets, and he also has "Greiss" spelled out on another helmet with the two SS's that are in a very coincidental design.

You can find it on twitter

To some, just having conservative political beliefs equals being a nazi.

Pretty brain dead move with the mask he had in AZ though, with his name spelled across the chin with the double S at the end looking like the SS “logo”

Briere was most definitely not 5’10 lol

More like 5’8” at most

- Nightmare Fuel


That’s from the website.

Derek Roy was listed at 5’9 and I towers over him at 5’10.5

Yeah not sure hes an upgrade either but EJ brings some things on the backend that no one else we have did. It might not be game defining but he provides that edge people have been looking for as well as leadership on the backend that has been lacking.

Like I said not game defining but it is needed.

I dont see him playing every game either which is why we could see this team run 8 D

Does an elite 6'8" 235lb power forward from Michigan crushing it in juniors get passed in the 1st round of the draft if his last name is Hitler?

This is the correct page to bump this too.

Reasons for optimism:
-Levi


I'm going to get killed for this but someone has to say this.

This Levi hype is completely insane. The kid has played 7 games and he was just barely under 3.00 GAA and just barely over 900 SV%. Craig Anderson had a better SV% last year. In 2021-2022 Luukkonen played 9 games with significantly better numbers, how did that turn out in 2022-2023?

Levi was a decent to above average prospect but not an elite one, and the entire reason Florida was willing to trade him was they had a much better prospect in Spencer Knight. Anyone watch Spencer Knight regress last year after a pretty great start to his NHL career?

Is UPL a bust, is Spencer Knight a bust? No idea yet. The point is goaltending is all over the place year to year, and especially with young guys. Anyone remember Ryan Miller crying and getting sent back down? He turned out okay, but he wasn't ready at 23 to be an NHL goalie, even though he had played 15 games at 22 and been decent.

This is not to say Levi won't be great. He could be. But if anything right now he is a weakness, because history shows it is quite likely that at some point this year if he is asked to play 50+ games he is going to have at least a stretch where he just isn't able to handle it.

I like a lot of what Adams is doing, but this city and this team's management really need to stop assuming best case scenario for everything. If we stay healthy, if Levi is a star, if Kulich and Rosen and Savoie step up to fill in spots vacated by Quinn and Olofsson, if Clifton has a bounce back season, if the teams around us all take a step back, if if if...

Knight has been going through some things. Entered the program and everything. I'd say he'll be back, he's still got the highest ceiling of any young tender not named Oettinger. Outside of that, I really liked this.
