Whose collapse do you think people will remember more ? Sabres from mid November, Penguins getting swept, or Lightning getting swept. Sabres aren’t even a blimp on the radar.

Now that we are rumoured to have gotten Arttu Ruotsalinen hopefully we can get Oliver Kaski as well.

From Jokke Nevalainen @ Dobber Prospects, regarding Ruotsalainen:

“Ilves didn’t have a very good team this year but Ruotsalainen was their best player both during the regular season and in the playoffs as well. It’s not really fair to expect a 21-year-old to carry a team in the Liiga, but that’s exactly what he did.

He played huge minutes and was in all situations. In addition to his team-leading offensive numbers, his Corsi numbers were some of the best in the league, and he was one of the best face off guys in the league as well.

He has always been a top player among his age group in Finland but go overlooked because of his size. This season he proved he wasn’t just a junior hockey star - he can be a great pro player as well."

He played strictly C, but they think he'll transition to W because of his size

I didn’t know anything about him before today but I like what I see. Oliwer Kaski is a 6’3 RHD that won d-man of the year in Finland who I’ve heard lots about and I’m sure he’ll have his pick of the loot as well.

Might be a nice replacement for a certain 6'4 rhd I know of.

No, but our LW/RW mix is a mess.

Imagine he's looking at a full season in Roch. Things can/will change.

A blimp would be (frank)ing massive on the radar.

Wait. Maybe it's a stealth blimp?

The lightning would be the blimp. Nobody will remember the Sabres collapse. They’ll remember who we take at 7 though good or bad. Time for Botts to make it count and I have faith he will.

Absolutely.

They BETTER change, right?

There better be 6 new players on this team next year.
