At home, there is more distraction….. Know what I’m saying.

Convenient they can’t find their legs when at home.

College coach always told us day before, never day of.

Fools. How you gonna skate with jelly legs?

I guess that explicit "question for the entire board" part was too much for you, or the question too nuanced?

Rather, silly question, doesn't deserve an answer especially in the context of asking it.

You seem a tad short this morning? Could be a tough day uncle ion, I'm here for you. 👋

All strengths, Craig's xGA was 2.07. He allowed 2 high danger goals. Which, ok, but what about the other 4. (frank)ing muffins.

Sabres tightened up their game once UPL was put in.

He had xGA of 0.98 all situations so he actually came out plus, for once. Went 5/5 on high danger shots.

Jokiharu had one of the worst games I've ever seen a Dman have. He got inexplainabley caught up the ice, leading to add man rushes and goals on goals 1,2 and 4. In watching the game highlights, it's crazy how bad he is. Anderson didn't bail him out of course (he sucked too) but Joker literally made more mistakes in 2 periods than a normal dman makes in a month. Let's see if he's benched next game?

The plan for ostlund according to Kris baker is to play in the SHL one more year before going to the AHL

Patience. Must develop. Multiple cups. The right way.

Which is good for Ostlund, he is playing well and he needs to gain some weight. Another year will do him well over sea's.

So they should throw Ostlund into the fire next year or should they sign veterans to help them win?

People need to pick a lane.

no room in rochester for him, as they are bringing back the band for 1 more year in buffalo

He is under contract for another year. That was always the plan.

He still has 2yrs left on his SHL Contract, it's not gonna hurt him. And Nadeau and a couple others should be added to Rochester this year.

20 year olds picked in the top 16 should be in your ahl system IMO working with your coaches to learn your system

he is also under a contract with the sabres

Except he won't be 20 until March of 2024.

he will be 20 next season playing overseas despite being on an nhl contract

I technically agree but Ostlund is like 160 lbs. Kisakov is 150 lbs and he is pretty much useless in the AHL because he is a bean pole. Not sure it was a good pick in the first place but at 150 lbs its not a good idea to be in the AHL.

Kisakov was a wasted pick IMO but thats going off on a tangent.

he is also under a contract with the sabres
- homiedclown

Understand what you are saying homie, and would usually agree. Ostlund needs to get bigger, he might be able to handle it but he would get abused in the AHL. Another year of growing into his frame will help him.

one more season they should be working with sabres trainers in WNY and not overseas

esp when under sabres contracts

Just like Kisakov. he is 150 lbs and pretty much was a waste of time in the AHL.

And they've shown they're pretty good under this regime at deciding what the proper path is for these kids, so why the argument?

Maybe he jumps from Sweden straight to the sabres. If not its another year in the AHL.

Its another reason why I am so annoyed the Adams keeps drafting forwards. Its gonna take years to develop them while the defensive pipeline sits empty. So even if we draft defense its 2-3 years before we see them in the NHL.

What was the point of drafting Kisakov, Polltapov, Sardarian, Bloom, Leinonen, Neuchev....

Just keep going forward or goalie.

- Powerslave

you mean the regime that can't get portillo to sign a contract

or the regime that signs bloom right away and trades him a few months later


or the regime that pays samuelsson 30 mil before he even scores an nhl goal

or the regime that locks up bryson on an overpayment

or the regime that in 3 drafts does not have 1 nhl d prospect in their farm system

all these prospects and in essence a .500 team in rochester


but good vibes

Looking forward to Neuchev, but I agree, especially the Leinonen pick. And it aggravates me even more because the Dman that was highly talked about on here by a few Luneau was still there and looks to be ready to take a spot in the Top 4 next year. Which would have changed alot of things.
Samuelsson Dahlin
Power Luneau
Johnson Lyubushkin could have been a solid 6
