Somebody tell me what Cozens is going to learn by wasting another year in Lethbridge playing against 16 and 17-year olds? Why wouldn't they at least give him 9 games?
- SabreWest

My takes as to why....

1. We already have too many nhl forwards (might lose some through waivers)
2. His entry level does not start this year.
3. He can do 9 games at the end of the year (I think), but more than 9 games or playoffs would be 1st year of entry level deal
4. A Risto trade would bring in another forward

He could play at the end of season, here or in Roch, after his WHL season is over. He wouldn't be playoff eligible, but would be eligible in Roch (if he signed an ATO).

Sending him down was the obvious move. He looked good at times, but he needs another year. I don't think it's big deal whether it was last week or 2 weeks from now.

Risto for Laine straight up or (frank) off

The jets fans offered Roslovic straight up

I told them they need to re-acquire Armia and then trade him with Roslovic.

If the sabres trade with winnipeg, Armia must be involved E5

Would you throw in a 6th and a Nelson?

Lazar bury that dude.

The scrubs came to play, solid effort thus far.

Harumph harumph harumph

Thompson is one of the teams 13 best forwards as of today

How did joker get a penalty on that lol.

Curious to see who plays RW. Hard to read right now with Sheary out and ERod being lackluster every time they try him there. Tage has been their second best RW so far.

He’s not getting moved.


He here

He’s gone They’re not gonna have a distraction in the locker room

with Botts preaching speed, upbeat north south game

if John Gilmour does not make the roster as a LD with McCabe out and Dahlin as the only LD that fits the gm mold, we were lied to by Jason at his presser
- homiedclown

Why should that be a surprise? That should be the default belief.

Yes, acquiring Jokiharju to play him on his off hand, acquiring Miller to continue to play him in a role he’s too good for, and acquiring Johansson to play a position he’s not confident with have all been super sound acquisitions already.

Wake me up when this team makes decisions that are the best for their NHL team

Well, they refuse to do the obvious things.

When they do I’ll be happy.

I think the future is incredibly bright, and I’ve been saying this for 5 years

And there have been a few of us that have said Botterill hasn't done poop to earn all that trust that's been thrown around. And we all got poop on for it.

Yeah he is losing me

It’s really embarrassing that the Sabres don’t broadcast games on msg during Preseason. I really wonder why they don’t.

He's actually using his frame to pin people on the boards

It’s really embarrassing that they don’t have their own network yet

I like Asplund's game tonight.

Come at me..

I’m not hating Sobotka, Larsson, Lazar

He’s been good. Him tage and lazar all looking solid. And yes lazar should’ve scored on his chance

And Gilmour

I wish he would be a bit more physical and back check a little more but he is defiantly looking much improved

He's just so smart with the puck, made a nifty pass to Tage in front. Speed and smarts is what defines him and that's what I have seen in these few pre-season games. He was the same in Rochester last year but seems to have upped it his year.

I think Tage stays. Lazar is gonna be a tough call.
