Multiple sources told The News that goalie Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen, who split last season between Rochester and Cincinnati, was among the prospects given permission to seek a temporary team that will allow him to return to Buffalo or Rochester for training camp.

He was a great coach for u18 team and this will be very interesting if we draft Luke Tuch

I think he will give insight on the usa prospects in this draft this is awesome news

And he knows about Hughes and the brothers

Sabres hired Seth Appert of USNDP to coach Rochester.

Not sure if it’s a good or bad hire ......

Yeah I really no nothing on this one. Just stirring the pot. I take gerbe’s enthusiasm with a grain of salt simply because he’s been homer-ing so hard for the peg’s any hire will be the greatest hire ever. I don’t think he will see it objectively. No offense gerbe, still love ya. But I think I rather have Taylor... but I guess we give rolston 2.0 a chance.

If we take Sanderson I’m gonna lose it lol.

Whether you are for or against analytics I’m sure we can all come to an agreement on this at least. Joker projects well here and I’m sure everyone is hoping for that.

Regarding the Pegulas being poor or cheap. This is from Vic Carucci:

His mood was understandably as bright as the latest in a line of spectacular weather days that have helped remove some of the Covid-19 blahs from summer. A six-year contract extension, which locks up McDermott through 2025 and is believed to push his salary well into the upper third among NFL coaches, will do that.

Upper 3rd means 10th or 11th. Before we all assume that they're going to slash payroll to $60m, let's just wait and see.

Maybe they just want to spend money on the RIGHT people. I'm as curious as everyone what the hell is going on, but we'll see

5 Cups and first in the USHL regular season in 2018-19.

And has coached tons of top ten prospects and some of ours .. the poop he did back in 2005 is old news

Probably could jump in this year but I think NJ will take him

Hoping for the best my man. Hoping for the best... also good to see they are filling some spots. Ellis and now Seth... Ellis is still a workout fiend, so they should sick him on Mitts....

Now the habs need to get bounced so we can swing a Domi deal.

The Sabres are getting the cuts....... the bills are not
- Sabretooth9

Personally, I have zero problem with the cuts they've made.

Do they sound like horrible people? Yes.

But let's see how much they spend on players salaries.

That whole "Pegula lifestyle" garbage is disturbing.
