.900 save percentage or better in 6 of last 8 games


none on first 4


once samuelsson got in the lineup his numbers got better

like any goalie

A lot of goalies have careers that are like a yo-yo and it’s usually not a great idea to make decisions on them with short sample sizes. UPL and Ullmark will be around for a while and both will be above avg tenders. IMO of course.

Damn Bloom could be steal of the draft. 15 goals in 18 games 6 of them shorthanded. 26 points in 18 games and crushing last years totals.

I want to see him in the WJC but they're (frank)ing cowards. Put him on the 4th line.

Moral of the 2021 Sabres.

"At least its not Kreguer losing"

- ImThatGuy


Sabres need to hire the best coach in the world.

Other team(s) have done it.

No explanation, solution or positivity

We knew this draft would produce a ton of best guesses. I haven't really dug into 'steals' and flops, but I think maybe by the end of the season we'll see some of that come out, like from maybe Pronman or Wheeler. There's a couple local guys who are great follows for prospects. @CurtisNHLDraft has a podcast that's quite a good listen. Kinda does what Baker did. It's too bad Baker doesn't put a lot of energy into it anymore.

We're also seeing how abysmal the Senator's draft was. It was panned in July and I think it's being beaten harder now.

With a GAA and ranked record like that, it's clear that the team in front of him is basically run and stop the run.

Olivier Nadeau is the other one I like. Sabres really hit some home runs in this draft.

So who wears 22 next year, him or Power? The real questions, I need answers.

Actually here you go.

This didn't pop up for me the first time.

I suppressed that Utica game. Still, after a very crappy start he's bounced back. As the year goes on he should gain some more consistency. As homie said too, Samuelsson helped, early on we were hemorrhaging shots and he was sorely missed.

Harrison Phillips tore the PCL in his surgically repaired knee during the preseason.

He has started the last three games & is the #Bills’ highest-graded defensive tackle this season, per
@PFF
.

- Stripes77

I've been wondering for over a year why he isn't on the field more. Maybe it's the injury limiting him and he has surgery as soon as the year is over.

Agreed.

Novikov has a real chance for a late rounder too.

no way. How bad would that look. I mean seriously.

They didn't want to pay him what the Bruins paid him, and now they would not only pay him what he makes with the Bruins but ALSO additional assets?

This would be hands down the worst move in the Adams era, by and large.

- TheSabresTaco

Perhaps they were willing to pay what Boston did, but Ullmark asked for more? Idk. It would be very strange to trade for him, unless Boston mostly wanted his cap space freed up and doesn’t ask much for him.

Yeah he's a very interesting one. This chart shows how involved each of these guys are for their team's overall offense.

It's nice to see so many prospects having solid years, I mean it's not just 3 or 4. Gonna have a nice wave coming up through the system.

Saw this before. Pretty crazy that on as stacked of a team that Power is on, he still is contributing a third of the offense Michigan generated. That's just absurd, and really shows that, I don't want to say being held back, but he was being held back by some upper classmen.

If they want to move him already, they should get 'future considerations' and retain.

Don't want to cause any problems, but I would gladly give them Bjork back for Ullmark.
