Tyler Johnson was that other player literally a few months after Eichel and he came back in the same season.
Why would Beauvillier need a Canadian Work Visa to play in Winnipeg if he's a Canadian citizen? It makes no sense.
Cozens states the obvious…but it’s been that way. Last year deficiencies could be overlooked due to a high-octane offense. Not the case this year (even before Tage’s injury) and Clifton/Greenway have not been answers, at all.
DeAngelo unfortunately for him is better on the bench for the team consistency
Pretty sad Cozens has to be the one to say this.
Carlsson should be playing more imo
I’ll always love me some sabres suffering
Kinda hard to tell with Carlsson as he might've had a good career even if they played him every night in his rookie season. How would you even know if this strategy made him worse?
The TDA-Orlov pair was not working so well 5-on-5. TDA on the Flyers last season suggests a team needs an above average D to cover in order to take advantage of TDA's offense, as Slavin did with TDA two seasons ago. Carolina does not want to break Slavin-Burns or Pesce-Skjei. That said, before last night Carolina was 1 for 21 on power plays without TDA as QB and that 1 was a shot directly off a faceoff win compared to 15 for 58 with TDA in the game. Because there is a question of Pesce's contact future in Carolina I could see a move at the trade deadline and TDA gets back in the lineup. Impossible to guess about trades now however without knowing more about goalie Andersen's health and who might be available next spring.
The Leo Carlsson development arc is really fascinating to me, at glance it makes a ton of sense at least physiologically/developmentally from a training/recovering perspective. I also wonder if having fewer games and more time to reflect on the games played could be a sort of hidden bonus? Totally nerding out over here :p
Dang Flames really upgraded their locker room over the past week trading out a negative guy who wanted out and bringing in known funny guy mark pysyk
Such a shame to hear Reichel is getting healthy scratched this far into season. Hope this awakens something in him, and not take away more confidence. I know I previously wondered if he needed some time back in AHL, but I really don't want that to be the case. He showed such promise every game last season, and I wonder if the attempt to make him into a center messed with his progress.
Beauvillier could play in Winnipeg because he is a Canadian citizen, he doesn't "have his Canadian work visa". He needs a work visa to play in the U.S. as a Canadian, but he doesn't need a work visa to play in his country of birth.
Sabres forward group is way too thin.. goaltending is not great.
Cozens has zero hits in last 6 games.
I have a feeling Pat Verbeek is planning on sending Leo to the WJC.. maybe.. as a experience stint. he would miss 5 scheduled NHL games, and with the current load management, that would be 3-4 games.
and why would he send him to WJC? he would participate in high pressure games, possibly a gold medal game on home ice. that experience is not something to sniff at. if the core purpose of the load management is development, it does makes sense to send him to the WJC.
A lot of teams got better from last year and I really don't see Buffalo as improved. Maybe a little regression. As a Canuck fan I guess it was not really all a toughness thing it was direction. Buffalo does not seem to have a compass. Or identity. Thought they were starting to have one and lost it. Who is the leader of the Sabers? Not playing with a lot of team confidence. And not playing on the same page. Under achieving a lot.
Reichel just isn't looking the same as he was last year (granted not many players look as good as when they play w Kane and Toews), demoting him a line or two or a even league until next season is the best thing
Why does Cozens have to say that? Where's the coaching?
If a canadian player without a work visa is on a canadian team why don't they need a work visa to enter the us and vice versa? like shouldnt he already have it bc he had to play games before in the us..? maybe its not required
11 points in 22 games. Cozens could be better. But, I'd say it's in the bottom 6 where the Sabres really seem to be falling off a cliff.
Cousins aka capt obvious
9 hits in a whole game… shameful
The Sabres are and have been easy to play against for years. Years. The Sabres have had subpar goaltending for years. Years. The Sabres have drafted the same tiny, skilled forwards for years and have failed with them for years. Years.
Fire Adams.
Fire Granato.
What has McDavid done to be on Canada's walk of fame?! Absolutely nothing!
Re: Leo Carlsson, the New York Islanders did something pretty similar with Noah Dobson in his rookie year, and Dobson is turning into a franchise defensemen for the team now. Not quite Makar or Hughes level but he's very very good.
too many young players in the league now thinking nhl is just faster 'shinny'….
