This is how I feel for the most part. They need to become the 2nd iteration of The Hardest Working Team that did so well in the Peca era.

Wasn't Peca a coach in Rochester? Almost like he could've been a good voice in the locker room looking for expired players to be player coaches to fill that role while blocking younger players. Who knows, maybe Matt Ellis knows more about hockey than Peca.

Peca likes the county side and land or big city living, didn't fit the suburban cul-de-sac vibes.

Have they said how bad his injury is? Has he practiced at all? That injury opened the window for benson and he stepped through it.
- IndianaSabresFan


they said it doesn't need surgery and it wasn't a reinjury to his shoulder. And they expect him to return soon.

Savoie not practicing yet.

Keep him on the roster until cuts have to be made.

Send him down to Roch for conditioning.

If he does good ….. maybe get him in for an NHL game just to see. But due to the injury his time has passed for trying to be here full time.

Benson is getting what would’ve been the Savoie treatment for this preseason

- Sabretooth9


If you try to send him down as a tryout, the NHL/CHL are likely to take exception.

press 2 if you would trade rosen and 2 2nds for chicken man


this game could go on for weeks with all the prospects we are hoarding and losing value on them daily

Sabremetrix (good account) posted this today. I get the point but are we really going to dunk on the idea of a defenseman trade today after watching whatever that performance was yesterday?

I think Benson’s prospect value is definitely higher than Savoie. I can agree with that

I just think due to age, Savoie being 19, and a little bit more fine tuned. He would’ve gotten a shot.

Savoie going back for his 4th junior year I believe makes little to no sense from a development point of view

Benson prior to his good preseason. If we sent him back. No one would have thought twice about it.

Good post
Would be nice to see savoie get an exemption and play in Rochester

Erik Johnson had a surprise early day injury that really affected the boys, you have to give them a pass for yesterday.

Benson jumped savoie immediately when he was drafted according to most experts
- Boss34


Correct - Sabres said as much themselves. Jerry Fortsen said they'd go and watch Savoie last year and leave saying Benson was the best player on the ice.

My Roster Prediction:

Forwards (14 - Savoie on IR then to Rochester for conditioning assignemnt
1. Tage
2. Skinner
3. Benson
4. Cozens
5. Middlest
6. Oloff
7. Krebs
8. Tuch
9. Petterka
10.Okposo
11.Girgs
12. Greenway
13. Jost
14. Biro

15 Dahlin
16 Clif
17 sam
18 Power
19 Joker
20 Johnson
21 Stillma

22 Levi
23 Comrie

Biro stays as too risky putting him on waivers and, besides Benson, has looked better than the other prospects.

UPL is traded. If he isn;t (and they go with 3 golalies), oloffson is traded or Jost is cut

Biro stays until Savoie is ready to come up from Rochester, then decisions need to be made on Savoie, Benson and Biro

While every other team is cutting their rosters down, Adams is going to pull off 2 trades for players that if they had any value, would've/should've been moved early in the summer?

Not happening.

Is this a brag or a dig regarding their top10 draft choice?
