Savoie looked great in the prospects game.

2 prospect games and 2 wins. 6-3 and 4-2. There are some amazing kids in the pipeline.

And you could almost make an entire second team of good prospects from the guys in the Sabres pipeline that aren’t at the prospect challenge!

That certainly isn't true your first statement lol

 

The 2000 years that were really good we sapped our entire pipeline to stay relevant 

 

Trading away prospects and picks to remain relevant...

 

The sabres pipeline has been entirely rebuilt starting with Dahlin pick...

 

Matthew savoie , isik Rosen , Zach Benson .. we have stud under 20 kids and a lot more

WTF are taking about? Almost every good player on the Sabres now is home grown!

I have to ask. We're you in a coma last season?

Boo! That sucks. I thought Weber was doing a fantastic job in Rochester. That’s a big loss for the Amerks IMO.

 

I was kind of hoping maybe Weber would eventually replace Marty Wilford as the Sabres defensive asst. coach.

 

Wonder if he'll be back available soon.

Also keep in mind Noah Ostland isn't playing in the prospects games (in Swedish Pro league). They've got 5 1st round forwards in the pipeline.

you "heard".  Watch them, and tell me you arent impressed.  Other teams draft great players too.  Our kids are smoking the competition!

Wtf?! What happened?

 

edit - I had read about him asking p,Ayers to share photos of their families to get to know each other better. Apparently this all stems from that? I don’t get why he was forced to resign over that.

i think he’s talking about 2015-2020 ish with the old core like Eichel, Reinhart, Nylander, etc. It is true that the Sabres had the #1 ranked prospect pool multiple times during the previous rebuild and it never led to winning.

 

 

However, I do think this time is different. Their pipeline this time is sooooo deep. Way deeper than any time in the last decade or more. And it actually seems like the kids are developing this time. Plus, they’re already having success in the NHL.

 

I am really looking forward to this season!
