How was Kulich's Defense bad in the AHL, especially on a team that didn't have very good D.
- Buff36

He is on level with Peterka when it comes to playing defense positionally and getting more involved in the play. Rosen is a much better two way player than Kulich.

No one is giving a 1st and Buchnevich got a 2nd.

I don't think I will be surprised.

Best value would be package him for a defenseman.

Cause prices stay the same right?

Buffalo hasn't traded for a good goalie in 10 years and its not easy to do.

My gut tells me its UPL and Levi and they waive Comrie but maybe a trade happens.

That trend will likely continue. If one or both are shipped out, I'd be surprised if a non-prospect goalie came back.

I suppose it could resemble a Talbot-Gustavsson swap.. but I don't think the Sabres would see value in that. Why not just sign Varlamov.

- TheSabresTaco



Valarmov said he would like to stay with the Islanders. Doubt he'd be willing to come here. I'd imagine free agent skaters will start to consider signing in Buffalo. Goalies on the other hand, Buffalo isn't exactly a goalies dream. The heir apparent is already here, and the team plays no defense. If they're going to upgrade the 1A or 1B spot, it'll most likely be through a trade.

Guys about to be 35, has decent #'s in minimal games on a very defensive style team.

Why ppl bring him up is beyond me. He would not be good here even in an Anderson role

Wasn't he really good on an offensively minded team right before this one?

Dude can play goal a little bit.

Savoie isn't going to play on the 4th line. No chance.
- sabresfan69

???
What they should do:
(3 comes before 4)
I posted yesterday the following for L3
Mitts - Krebs - Savoie
And L4 as
JJP - Jost - Rousek


What they MAY do, if they feel Savoie isn't ready and needs to be broken in slowly is to rotate him in on L4, and let him earn his way up the roster. Hopefully very quickly.

I share your apparent enthusiasm for him being a stud.

I'm sure he'd love to play 20 games a year behind a workhorse and get paid less for it.

How many NHL players say they want to leave while on the active roster?

I think they try to trade him at the draft. I don't know how much value he has though. Probably a 3rd round pick or package him for a defenseman.

I am just guessing but what value does a one dimensional PP specialist who can't play defense have? Ship him to Vegas so he can play with his buddy

- sabresfan69


Team that has a below average PP but is good defensively...
Carolina, Calgary are possibilities IMO.

Big deal. One day closer to BILLS camp. Buffalo is about Football. Win a Super Bowl and the world knows it. Puts you on the map. Hockey has lower ratings than the WNBA and CNN.

Gerbs, I appreciate you and your info that you're able to share. I appreciate anyone else who has sources and shares...if it weren't for these tidbits of inside info then this whole site would be an intolerable mess of mutual masturbation, incessant nitpicking, and pathetic name-calling, with an occasional page of boobs now and then.
