Rosen saw all of the love Kulich and Savoie were getting and had to remind us he’s going to be a player too.

Sold few months for Washedup’s favourite prospect

Could be, see how these kids handle their playoff run and hopefully make a decision on your direction.

Ready to see what happens. The idea that no one is ready and everyone should just come back next season is getting harder to sell. Let's see how he adapts.

That Kulich goal...how did he fall to 28th? Homer take but he's winning the Calder whenever he comes up.

Year 1 of Ralph was high vibes. That gets forgotten.

You're right though, no one fights through everything that went wrong once covid hit.

All of year one of Ralph was high vibes?

Didn't they seriously crater down the stretch that season?

Who shot his load though?

John Wilkes Booth shot his load while shooting the President’s head while he was receiving head and he yelled “Surrender Dorothy!” as he shot both loads.

I’ll gladly admit I was wrong if Rosen turns into a player for the Sabres. All he has done lately is claw back the bust stamped on his forehead. He needs to play consistently for a full season and add 30lbs.

The Sabres have many Rosens not enough Murray’s.

2 opposite players, can say what you want about Rosen's size. Kid goes to the net.

Who do you see him replacing in the Sabres lineup and what season?

Or are you trading him this offseason?

Bob Woodson, a Civil Rights Activist just hit the nail on the head. A voice of reason needed in a time of masses claiming to be a victim.

Good ? 20!! Adams and the nerd crew will have to make those evaluations on who they see fitting the team better in the future. They have a lot of the same type players, gonna be intriguing to see there decisions.

Isn't this a grand problem to have?

There are several factors that go into deciding who comes up, one of which is ellligibilty to play in Rochester. I say that because Savoie is percolating as well, but his only home next season is Jr again (not) or the NHL. As far as it would best for him to gain professional experience in the AHL, he simply can't...so, likely it is off to the big league for him. That reality causes Rosen and maybe Kulich to stay in the A and develop their game further while Savoie and Rousek are integrated into the Sabres lineup.

It isn't a bd thing either.

Based on next season for each of those 4 (Rousek, Savoie, Kulich and Rosen) decisions will need to be made which could involve trading them or others away.

None of this having young players on ELC's pushing younger and older vets aside is bad for the org.

It's a good problem to have, also makes you have to make your Evaluations quicker. Sabres are gonna have another round of prospects hitting Rochester soon. Don't want prospects blocking prospects there.

Adams hyper focus on talented forwards has shown positive results while exposing holes in the organization that continue to be ignored.

It’s a self generated problem, I guess good problems are a step up from everything is a problem so in that sense, good on Adams.

This would be interesting, imagine adding those 3 for the next round. Doubt it but what a thought.

It is a self generated situation

However, after years of having a pretty thin Prospect Pipeline and hoping some OK prospects emerge to be successful, it is a very good situation to have the Popl brimming over with talent, even if it is not even across all positions and styles.

I think the fanbase has to become more cognizant that these Prospects are Assets. As such, some will be consumed in Operations Production, while others will be exchanged for Assets in areas of need. This is where BPA becomes important IF the individual Prospect hits their Ceiling or close to it..it enables trades to fill those areas of need rather than going shopping in FA where prices are very costly and the success rate of extracting value is diminished.

The return for prospects even if they hit their ceilings will stagnate as GM’s wanting to trade for them realize how they will never play in Buffalo anyway. It’s a double edge sword and Adams window to fix the situation is limited.
