Did anyone listen to the Instigators today? I heard from someone they were speculating about the Sabres being interested in Andrew Hammond for the Amerks. Certainly hoping not. He’s been awful in the AHL for multiple seasons.
Yes I know that. But he hasn’t been good in the AHL for a while.I think buffalo is looking for an nhl experienced goalie who will play in Rochester that can be used for injury call ups.
Not a fan. Better goalies available. Couple that with Blackwell likely leaving and Sexton tempering expectations with 1 and maybe 2 forwards signings, a little disappointed. And if the forward signing just ends up being Sislo, I won’t be happy about it at all.Wedgewood to be Rochester's starter next season. Meh.
I’m not saying it’s right or true, but could it be because they are getting deeper in the NHL and able to keep some of better Sabres prospects in the minors longer?Not a fan.

That’s definitely why. But this organization always has injury issues so I’m very interested in having the depth necessary to withstand it. Mainly I just want a top 6 winger who can put the puck in the net. They had no one last season to count on for a goal. Basically an entire team of players who are 2nd or 3rd liners with a few exceptions.I’m not saying it’s right or true, but could it be because they are getting deeper in the NHL and able to keep some of better Sabres prospects in the minors longer?
The Amerks should be adding Olofsson, Asplund, Pu, Pilut, Oglevie and keeping most of Smith, Nylander, Guhle, etc... Some may make the pros or at least get call ups, but is that possibly why they aren’t adding a whole lot of free agents?

Thompson, Asplund, improved Nylander, Pilut? Should be at least 0.75 ppg each.Amerks need scoring. Many of the top players have been signed already. Not sure what they’re waiting for.
Proven scorers. Nylander stinks, don’t even try selling me on him. I think the team is well on their way and I like the roster overall, but they need a veteran top 6 winger.Thompson, Asplund, improved Nylander, Pilut? Should be at least 0.75 ppg each.
Thompson was 0.5 PPG rushed into the AHL. He still hasn't even fit into his body yet. You've got one solid piece there.Proven scorers. Nylander stinks, don’t even try selling me on him. I think the team is well on their way and I like the roster overall, but they need a veteran top 6 winger.
Sobotka will likely play for Rochester by the end of the year. That's a nice veteran player for you.Proven scorers. Nylander stinks, don’t even try selling me on him. I think the team is well on their way and I like the roster overall, but they need a veteran top 6 winger.
