They're sending the oldies too, which tells me this is a ramp up game for the season.

Otherwise I dont think they send KO, Johnson or have clifton make his debut here.

I think Tage and skinner have played 1 more game than the rest of the core but i havent checked.

Just hope they don't confuse everyone and sit some of the vets on Friday.

Assuming they don't sit him at any point, 9 games takes you to early november. At that point they'll have a couple of options on what to do moving forward if Benson doesn't force the issue.

9 games in October. Still no prediction, just going to watch it unfold.

Not sure how anyone could be 100% on the moves that are coming, not even sure they are.

Seth Griffith (edm) on waivers. No word on Kyle Criscuolo

Yeah with the 10th game coming in early november. By then they'll have more info on the guys in the AHL, Quinn and Kane.

“We’re going to go down to 23. We have 31 in camp now. We’re going to use probably 31 or more during the course of the season and they’re going to help us reach our goal. So, everybody is extremely important when you put it in perspective or that perspective.”


Did they use 31 or more last season?

Peterka is a better player than all of them. Is this some sick joke?

in the nhl, he did not look like a second liner last year


looked great in tourneys but not in the nhl

he could take a step and be a solid second liner

he could work on his d and be a solid 2 way player


or he could be the next 35 point per season player that we wait for the next step in his game

he was -15 last year

quinn and cozens combined was -10

Not many do in their rookie year outside of the elite prospects (heck even they have their own fair share of struggles).

What Quinn did last year as a rookie in terms of impacts not even Eichel did which makes it all the more impressive.

JJ had a hot start, a very meh middle, and finished strong (which carried over to the world championships).

Time will tell if the defensive game will carry over, but I feel confident he’s a 2nd line winger.

Given that he may be a third line winger here when it’s all said and done, speaks to the amount of talent we have as an organization and the trajectory we are on.

The next decade of Sabres hockey is going to be a lot of fun.

The idea that Kulich or Rosen could overtake him this season isn't crazy at all. Fair to say that they both project to be better.
