- I’m tempted to break my own rule about not overvaluing prospects as it relates to JJ Peterka. The German-born winger has all the tangibles one could hope for in an NHL prospect: shooting, skating, tenacity and a knack for the net are just some of his traits. You know what, I am going to break the rule in this case. JJ Peterka looks like a future NHL player.


😍😍😍

Color me "EXCITED" about JJP.

Thx

No Quinn, UPL or Samuelsson today? That's a bummer. Glad I went yesterday instead of today

I'd like to see Ruotsalainen dominate today. He was quiet yesterday

Great write up as always Baller....

I think Murray makes the Sabres out of camp, but probably an extra forward with eakin or instead of eakin.

Hayden is penciled in the starting line up IMO. maybe more upside?

Samuelson plays his way into the 6 spot. He's just to good at camp, and donnie likes him from last year.
Doesnt hurt tank4 as well ☝️

Glad to hear that marty and you now agree with the few posters who have been proclaiming upl the starter 😉

Better late than ever.... get the kid in net now. Sink or swing. Goaltending isnt only saves and goals, its instilling confidence in your teammates. He's got IT. IMO.

I recognize 6 names. I don’t follow the prospects as close as other though.

I still think he’s too slow to be a career NHL’er but for this year why not let Murray stay up

I would like to see that, see what he's got, put him in front and see him pop in 10-15 goals.

No, only went the year when dahlin/ girgskar mixed it up.
Looked like fun though. Saving my " Sabres time" for the regular season 🙂

Actually at the north town center waiting for my son's practice. As the cannibal corpse song went :
I thought it was over, it's not over......


Saw some highlights and your guy Murray looked large and determined. So many frindge nhl guys this season. Wonder if he's more of a trade deadline call up guy?

Pretty exciting time for the faithful fans....
