I really want to see it happen, and I want to say yes...but there are a lot of tough games coming up. Does he step up and get this team into the playoffs or at least keep us in it to the bitter end?

The Sabres need him big time down the stretch.

back reading, I think people have to separate the Booming hits vs the separation from puck hits. Not all hits are created equal.

I don't need and don't want head hunters out there. what this team needs is for everyone to buy in to playing a hard heavy game. that doesn't mean throwing your body around like a missile. What they need is to all be able to get into a scrum, not get pushed around and they all should be willing to drop the mitts if it comes to it. Even if you get punched in the face and lose the fight you gain the respect of your teammates/opponents and chicks dig brusies,

All this team needs is to back check and fore-check like there hair is on fire. Finishing each and every check you can should be demanded by meatballs. I can show you plenty of goals this year that were direct results of a fore-checker pressuring a Dman with the puck and that Dman feels rushed because he knew he was about to be hit, leading to a turnover and goal.

I never played anything more then High School hockey but all my years even the best players on our teams were taught to finish every check.

1-2 Grit players don't move the needle having the entire team buy into a heavy style of game with move the needle a lot more.

Tyson Jost and Casey Mittelstadt have the highest xGF% in the past 25 games.

Comes down to their competition level and how they're dominating average players. Which is no strike against them.

Yeah he's doing pretty well. He'll be mid-late first because of his lack of 200'. The skill is undeniable though. Unless the Sabres are picking like top 12, he'd be a great bet.

Ostlund vastly outperforming Lekkerimaki. Hate to see it. Beating out Ohgren too.

All 3 1st are looking very nice. Ostlund needs to fill out a bit more, but could be the best out of the 3 in a couple years.

I like Ohgren more than Lek as a NHL prospect even tho I thought Lek would outscore him outside of the NHL. Still time. But there's no way I'd believe that Ostlund doesn't have the highest ceiling. He'll be there for another two seasons, hope to see him in the SHL next year or at least get some minutes.

Some interesting backreading.

Always funny when a Sabre move or two causes someone to have a break with reality.

In two short weeks, the Leafs and the Sabres went grit, grit, grit at the dealine. The two teams we've been assured by the expected awesome crowd are the best analytics teams in the NHL. And, to make it worse, Tampa saw the Leafs moves and went even grittier if possible.

Pegs may never recover.

You are definitely not the #1 sabres fan on hockeybuzz.

Maybe when things are going well and the Sabres are winning? Your fandom swings.... not worthy of top seeding.

Top fans do not bash the team relentlessly.....

Hopefully the Sabres spend some assets getting some D prospects into the system in June.

Trey Augustine is the only goalie in Wheeler's top 64 (post-mid term), but looking at history you can find one in almost any round with a similar chance as a top 3 round.

Use a pick on a goalie, 3-4 on D and the rest F.

I've been hearing about this musty kid for a few years now. Buffalo junior Sabres program.

I mentioned this name before ... Charlie kinsman- another local junior Sabres. I bet he gets drafted (later) ,hopefully by the Sabres as well..... committed to Vermont

Buffalo, New Jersey, and Carolina rank 32,31, and 30th in hits thrown this year.

Tampa in the last 48 hours have lost by a combined score of 11-3 to two of those teams.

Try hard to want a soft team.

This is literally unheard of. A fan wanting a team to be soft. Its sad.

Is it because hitting is banned in Sweden you are against it?

Kinsman is a good kid, my Son knows him. He's from Orchard Park. Kinda small though but can skate.

50+ years no Cup. When a franchise hits 50 with no ring in any of the majors the fans can say anything they want.

I have a friend related to Charlie. He'd be a late pick or U/D probably. But would certainly be exciting for him.

Kinda weird I know someone related to him but no one who knows Gavin McCarthy.

This line of conversation is so odd. Being hard to play against is the only way you win. That doesn't mean you need to be physical. There's many ways to be difficult to play against. Any one particular stat like 'hits' is not going to tell you one way or the other.

Stillman and Greenway are great guys to add to this particular team because we're missing elements they bring. For other teams, they may be redundant or unhelpful.

Being pro or against hits is odd.

Great hockey player , better kid.

Charlie's got the vibes and hometown buffalove...

I didnt realize he's listed at 5'11. Could hold him back from being drafted for sure.
