So am I, I am still eating some Crow. He has really taken his game to the next level since the New Year. Guess we know who was destroying him.

guess boosh didn't allow a single shot against in about 8 minutes 5v5. 10-0. Not bad.

Guess he was playing with a Couple Broken Toes there for awhile, starting feeling better about a month or so ago. Samuelsson looks different too, been very Physical the last 5 games or so. And Stillman is a pleasant surprise, his skating fits.

Give Casey credit, he's scoring regardless of which line he's on. I'm impressed.
- TheSabresTaco



A spark has been lit under him, is he the new Stafford? Shows up and dominates for a few weeks then disappears for a few weeks?

He is having a strong finish, which he did last season as well.

I am enjoying watching him play, it’s good for the Sabres.

This might be more of Adams wanting Johnson playing for Rochester in the playoffs.

It’s Johnson’s decision to burn a year or ATO and play in roch

We should hear back today the play.

Yeah, and Adams is trying for the ATO because of only possibly 2 games. Unfortunately Johnson holds the cards, doesn't mean Adams isn’t trying to reshuffle the deck.

What's pleasantly surprising about Stillman? Didn't know with Boosh, that's good to know. Agreed on Sammy. But Stillman looks lost most of the time, can't pass well. What am I missing?

I can see this happening...

A minimal effort offseason that I guess you could call realistic at this point
Skinner - Thompson - Tuch
Peterka - Cozens - Quinn
Mittelstadt - Krebs - Greenway
Girgensons - Jost - Okposo
Dahlin - Samuelsson
Power - Johnson
Stillman - Lyubushkin
Levi
UPL

Jokiharju rotates in

fooking Levi is as advertised. Levi is the starter next year for sure, I don't know if I stick with UPL. He has been really bad at every level he has played.

For my money I would rather sign a Vet goalie to back up Levi.

I hope I am wrong, but I just don't see Johnson Signing with us. why is he waiting now that his college career is over?

What's the rush? The guy's played a lot of hockey over the past few months. I know it's precedent, but as soon as the guy puts pen to paper, he's got to play again. Wanting couple days' break isn't exactly inexcusable.

He’s signing in the next two-three hours.

Guaranteed.

he is literally the ONLY first round draft choice not to sign his ELC for his draft year. that does not seem strange for you? They had a zoom meeting I beleive yesterday or so and no contract yet.

All the signs are pointing to Johnson going to FA, IMO

I believe this will be the first year he isn't above a .900sv% in all comps in any given season of his career...

Sorry to burst the bubble, but the bolded simply isn't true. You can argue about wanting him or not, but at least give the kid the credit he's due. He will be likely end up being a serviceable NHL goaltender whether we do keep him or not.

it's reasonable to question why guys like maybe Brock Faber and Owen Power sign next day while other guys like Ryan Johnson and Devon Levi take a few days. All part of the back and forth. I'm curious to see what they do in regards to ATO or ELC. Could be talking bonuses. Or simply taking his time.

I'm way over UPL but professionally he's been wildly inconsistent. He was good in juniors and Finland
