If they add him to the NHL roster when he is healthy, are they waiving one of the three goaltenders to make room?

Are they waiving Jost? Bryson?

Praying there's an injury to make the decision easier/less painful?
- kingcong39

No clue. Not a lot of time for things to play out, since he's already skating.

A conditioning assignment would buy some time, but I could also see why the NHL would take issue with it.

is the team better with kulich playing on the third line, or jost?
- homiedclown

As of today, Jost,

If things continue to trend in the right direction though it’s only a matter of time before Kulich claims a spot.

Possibly, never gotten a chance to show it. Usually an injury gives a guy like him a chance. Opposite happened last year. F's were unusually healthy. When they had some injuries, he was hurt.

Have to think he's 1st in line this year, but that might not last all that long. Hope he does get his shot here.

I feel like rousek is the first call up

Kulich 2nd imo

Skinner-Tage-Tuch
Peterka-Cozens-Olofsson
Greenway-Mitts-Benson
Girgensons-Krebs-Okposo
Jost

Dahlin-Clifton
Power-Joker
Samuelsson- E Johnson
Bryson

Levi
Comrie
UPL

IR: Quinn, Savoie

There’s your 23 man roster to start
- Swedish_Jesus

I don’t get their love affair with Bryson. He is the worst defensemen in our system. Shocked Stillman was waived over him

This is for Taco:

Jack Eichel stood in the front yard with his family one morning this summer when a car arrived with the Stanley Cup.

It was in that house in North Chelmsford, Massachusetts, where he had posters on his bedroom walls -- Pavel Bure, Joe Sakic and Steve Yzerman in the early years, Sidney Crosby and Alex Ovechkin later.

It was on that cul-de-sac where he’d skate circles on in-line skates, shoot into a street hockey net and play with the other neighborhood kids.

Now he had won the Cup with the Vegas Golden Knights, a dream come true.

“You think about everything -- your whole life living there and all the memories you have,” the 26-year-old center said last month. “Just being able to stand in my front yard with my mom and my dad and my sister, that was a pretty special moment.

“I was trying not to get a little emotional. A lot of things go through your head.”

Didn’t benson outplay kulich in preseason and earn his spot?

Johnson had to beat out 3 million $ Johnson, an uphill battle
- Boss34

if casey is your 3rd center

and krebs is your 4th center


are you better with kulich or jost on casey's wing?

I feel like rousek is the first call up

Kulich 2nd imo
- Boss34

Biro was the best of the Biro, Kulich, Rousek trio this preseason.

He also had an excellent AHL season last year.

You will be told it’s better for Kulich to ride the bus and play top minutes in Rochachachacha vs be the extra that Jost will play in the NHL

Were you surprised Murray cleared waivers?

I wasn’t and wouldn’t be surprised biro also clears
- Boss34

He didn't clear without psychotic persuasion from Kevyn. He threatened dismemberment of opposing GMs family members.

Maybe that’s why I didn’t make it to the nhl. I didn’t live on a cul-de-sac. 🤔

Eichel is in a good place now, in more ways than one.

In Buffalo, he didn’t have a strong supporting cast and had to carry the load offensively. He put up numbers -- including NHL career highs in goals (36) in 68 games in 2019-20 and assists (54) and points (82) in 77 games in 2018-19 -- without team success.

Jack Eichel checks in at number 20 on the countdown
In Vegas, he’s on a deep, structured team. He’s excellent on both ends of the ice.

“When you look around the room and have confidence in all those guys, I think it takes a little bit of pressure off yourself,” he said. “You don’t feel like you need to go out there and do anything spectacular. You can just play.

“And I think that allows for more instinctual play and just being a little more relaxed, not feeling the pressure of, ‘OK, I have to do this tonight.’ You know what I mean? Like, ‘OK, I can just play within the structure of our group and play my game and contribute when I can.’”

Is Adams putting Levi in a similar situation as Eichel wax put in?

Eichel was relocated to a different cul-de-sac because his vibes were causing destructive interference.

Yes. But I believe Levi is a more stable person. Seems more mature

Maybe him a UPL can tandem bicycle it to the first home game.

That's a reasonably fair analogy but I'd like to see 20-30 games first.

Hopefully you’re right.

This will be Levi’s first Buffalo winter, that alone could break him lol.

“Bryson is good friends with everyone so he earned a spot through vibes”.

Essentially.
- Swedish_Jesus

Ya I think this has something to do with it. Let least a bit.

He’s always mugging for the camera and palling around with the stars. He might be a hell of a guy but needs a lot of work on the ice.

>>> I understand and respect the reaction to the decision on defense, but the issue is the Sabres keeping three goalies. Pick a No. 2, or 1B, and stick to it.

We always knew that keeping three would cost them a defenseman. They were never going to carry only 12 forwards.

Agreed. Might change in a month or two, but it's Brio right now.

As of today, Jost,

If things continue to trend in the right direction though it’s only a matter of time before Kulich claims a spot.
- Swedish_Jesus

I don't think Jost will be playing on the 3rd line, initially he'll be the 13th Forward

if casey is your 3rd center

and krebs is your 4th center


are you better with kulich or jost on casey's wing?
- homiedclown

Do you expect Jost to be playing? Maybe I'm incorrect but I think he starts as our 13th forward, no?? I'd rather have Kulich/Rousek/Rosen play big minutes in Rochester than little to no minutes in Buffalo. R Johnson is the same thing

Wonder if Savoie could get some time on Cozens wing when he is healthy again.

That would require them to make another move they're likely not comfortable to make.

There's also a chance an opening will have arisen by then due to injury.
- kingcong39

Really makes you wonder what this lineup looks like in January, with Quinn back. Savoie and several from Roch could be in the picture to the point where I have no idea how KA copes with it.

If he has to make moves for vibes today, will he change?

That’s a good question, probably jost with his experience as an nhl player

I’d think Donnie treats the opener as a playoff game with this year’s expectations

I don't think Jost will be playing on the 3rd line, initially he'll be the 13th Forward
- turbo044

I would guess Jost would see plenty of games until Quinn returns, due to injuries and logical rest for players like Benson and Okposo.
