Rosen, Kulich and Rousek played great in Amerks win
Savoie Mitts and Krebs 3rd line next season. Ship out Olofsson and a bottom pair Dman for Power's partner.
Thank Wayne I'm excited for this kid as well 💪🦬🏒
Brake in year. No minors for him.
I wanted geekie as well. However it looks like we got the right choice in Matthew Savoie. He's been excellent all year
Bigger stronger better… lets not also forget.. HEALTHY.. he was injured during the development camp so we couldn't see him.
I really hope Buffalo ships out Olofsson and that Okposo retires and moves into a player development role. Kulich and Savoie can replace them in the lineup, and there would still be room for Girgensons if the Sabres want to bring him back.
DB 2.0 Yessssssssss
As much as i liked the pick and the player himself…….im worried about rushing Savoie like we did Mitts. CM wasnt physically ready for the NHL when he got into the lineup. The talent was there (still is) but his body wasnt ready for the grind of an NHL season as he kept getting injured every year. Savoie probably has the skill for the league but is he ready physically? I dont think a year in Rochester will be a bad thing in his development. 👍👍
Granato is known for developing young players, I say Savoie and Kulich should be and will be on the opening night roster next season. Get them in the NHL with sheltered minutes like JJ and Quinn had this season and let Granato coach them up.
Skinner – TT – Tuch
JJ – Cozens – Quinn
Savoie – Mittelstadt – Kulich
Greenway – Krebs – Okposo / Girgensons / Rousek
Dahlin – Samuelsson
Power – Severson
Joki – Lybush
Stillman – Clague
Levi – Varlamov
This would be my team next year if I could sign Severson and Varlamov from free-agency.
Olen Zellwegers numbers are even more impressive
Can’t wait to see what happens with Kulich and Savoie in training camp. Hope they get a 9 game tryout at least.
Dahlin 9.5 -10m for 8 yrs, Power 8.5 for 7 yrs. If they can get those deals done this summer, the team will be in great shape going forward.
Wayne can you do a deep dive into Lawrence pilut. He has been around for a bit and I wonder eill he be a Sabre? Gis season in rochester seemed pretty good. Thx
If Guenther was draft in 2020, he couldn’t play in juniors. He’d be too old by now. With all respect to the amazing Draisatl, McDavid is still a better player.
I think that the Sabres take the Shane Wright approach to Savoie next season. A few games with the Sabres, play in the world juniors, do a conditioning assignment with the Amerks, then back to juniors…or if he’s amazing he’s stays in Buffalo.
Shane Wright played his 9 game tryout then…
got sent to the AHL for a conditioning stint.
Then went to the World Jrs
Then went back to Jr. (I think all of this didn’t burn a year of ELC.) don’t quote me.
The Sabres could choose to do something similar with Savoie. It could be a wise thing to reevaluate his development path after the WJC.
Talent is not the issue or if he can cut it in the league, playing time is imho. What ever happens I trust GMKA
