Meh, just another prospects game.

Meh, just another prospects game.

Is that confirmed? Because I think its likely something more substantial then that. Moving from Ann Arbour is possible.

No, sorry, just my opinion.

Then again, the last major announcement involving the Sabres actually was major. Maybe they've learned their lesson on calling things "major" that really aren't.

edit: Or maybe it is [confirmed]

I just can't possibly see that as constituting the "significant" tag they keep throwing around.

 

[Ruckus007]

Look at it from the USA Hockey perspective?

 

[KennyFnPowers*]

How can that possibly be "substantial"

just like the "Craig Patrick" part of the GMTM presser, they're probably holding at least another card on this deal, eh?

I think Black might be the guy leading the controlled news leakage at this point, he's a vet PR guy. Give em' something to chew on, but save a little for the show.

It could certainly be this. I wouldn't be shocked at all if it was a multi-layered announcement.

there's going to be another prospect game in Buffalo!

every season following the summer camp which has moved its HQ to Harbor Center, and they are going to open an office at the Harbor Center meaning every US prospects road to the NHL will come down the 90.

it's possible. i am remembering correctly that we heard about rolston's firing before we heard about regier's? maybe this announcement is like that, but instead of obvious firing -> surprise firing, it will go from small event -> big event

yeah

yeah that's it

Sabres love press conferences.

 

[sjci]

If it's just another prospects game, I'm going to be severely disappointed. That is not near enough "significant" to warrant that tag/hype/build up

You're telling me another prospect's game is what you were hoping for when you heard it'd be a significant announcement...

US Prospects Game returning to buffalo in 2014 AND 2015, officially announced.

 

[Push Dr Tracksuit]

[5 Minute Major]

Pretty neat they are having this again.

But, major announcement???? LOL

 

[Push Dr Tracksuit]

Not quite press conference worthy but Ill be at both games.

The Harbor Center/Buffalo tryout for the entire development program

It is a significant announcement. For USA Hockey.

Buffalo, such a great hockey town we barely blink when we get rewarded for it.
