Did Matias get a season in with Casey Nelson early on? If so he’s beating out Hagg for a roster spot.

Sadly, have to agree, Pach would've gotten it done by now.

Nice Read Hank!! I wouldn't mind seeing Samuelsson down in Rochester playing big minutes with Laaksonen. Could be brought up as a pair sometime this year. Or take over 3rd pair next year.

Pach would of melted down from his hero Cuomo resigning and sexually assaulting every women staffer he worked with.

Eichel will be traded soon

Good guess, it would be smart to mirror last seasons approach with players like Matias. Let these NHL team fade into irrelevancy then bring the kids up and teach them.

Pretty likely that's what happens. I have no problem with that unless Samuelsson (or Bryson for that matter) is clearly playing better than Hägg in the preseason.

Granato is built for jobs like this

totally...sounds like the sabres are planning on a terrible year while allowing the kids development at their proper levels...the latter is always a good take, imo, but not always easy to do

if he's ready for the big club, then fine...but he only played 12 meaningless games, as hank rightly wrote

i wonder if Power signs at the end of the school year or he goes back for another? i guess it depends on how he looks.

i think he's leaning towards one more year of school...looks like they're building a championship-level team in ann arbor, which would make for a great send off...no need to rush the kid by putting him in a situation he may not be ready for
