Sooooo sooooooonnnn.

Please start

 

[Team Cozens]

Seems like the last couple of camps we have been excited about.... well, Guhle.

Now it’s Guhle, Mitts, Dahlin plus the intrigue for Thompson, Asplund, Olofsson.
Plus longer shots in Malone, Borgen and Oglevie.

Just wow.

Camp Preview: Rookies aim to make an impact

When the fourth annual Prospects Challenge begins next week, Sabres fans will be offered a live look at the depth of the organization. Players entering their first full professional seasons or first seasons in North America will certainly highlight the roster and some of those future Sabres will have an eye on playing in the NHL this season.

Rasmus Dahlin will be the talk of the town as the first-overall pick settles in for his rookie year. If you missed our camp preview story on him earlier this week, you can find that here. But he isn't the only rookie that fans will be watching.

 

[Team Cozens]

Sabres play this Friday night in the Prospects Challenge. Hopefully Dahlin’s first game.
When does the prospect camp open?

It’s happening!!!!

What about Hickey and Pilut

 

[littletonhockeycoach]

Met a fellow Sabres fan out here a couple of days ago at Guitar Center. We both expressed how excited we are about the coming season and how things have changed. Such a great facility. Seem to recall when this all started back in 70, they opened training camp in St. Catherines. Joshjull, Old Goalie, JimBob, etc. could probably validate the latter.

I can confirm those posters are all old.

Yeah, definitely exciting. Can’t wait to see what Dahlin and Mitts do this season.

Nice to see some of these draft picks like Borgen, Olofsson, Asplund hitting the roster in Roch., too. Hopefully they’ll have been worth the wait.

It'd be really nice if it's an honest competition that doesn't just end up putting Beaulieu and Hunwick on the team because they're older or because of their contracts.

Don’t they make more sense as sparingly used 7/8 defenseman than a prospect?

 

[Dreakon13]

Yeah, I agree with that.

I guess I don't really picture them carrying 8 defensemen though... and I'd rather the best players win the jobs.

EDIT: Dahlin, Risto, Scandella are the only givens IMO. McCabe, Bogosian probably are as well. I'd say that leaves one spot, and Beaulieu and Hunwick probably don't deserve it.

I’m pretty sure they carried 8 almost all of last season, so I would assume they do again. I’d say Dahlin, Scandella, Ristolainen, McCabe and Bogosian are locks. Nelson isn’t a lock, but I really doubt the waive him. Beaulieu or Hunwick might get waived if Guhle forces their hand.

If they carry 8, then Beaulieu and Hunwick are the best options for 7/8.

If our 6 D end up being Dahlin, Risto, Scandella, McCabe, Bogosian, Nelson ... I wouldn't be too upset. Dahlin and a healthy McCabe/Bogosian should elevate that group above where they were last year.

If Nelson can't win a top 6 spot, I would think they'd rather keep him up as a 7/8 than risk losing him on waivers, especially for someone like Hunwick.

Lol..... They are referred to as "legacy" posters these days. Not "old".

Funny thing about old age....... you're not paying attention to it and suddenly one day, you wake up and find you've joined the ranks!

Youth is definitely wasted on the young........ LoL

Sept. 13, NC begins to be blown off the map.

Friday Sept. 14, the storm continues and whipes 20% of the trees down plus it knocks power out to millions.

After that it’ll get worse.

This is what I fear. Hope training camp goes well but my beginning may be hanging on and hoping!

Are sessions on Fri/Sat open to the public?

Hope you have a safe place to wait it out! It's your turn this year, but they'll get back up to the northeast and down to the gulf sooner than later!
