Buffalo Sabres 2019-2020 Training Camp Thread

[Gabrielor]

Cool. Too many dmen? Naw! Not enough dmen! They’ll all be hurt!

 

[CrazyPsycho]

That was quick, Girgs has already replaced him

Yep, looks like Vogl made a mistake. Sabres official roster says Wilson is out.

Also RJ tonight!

Wow Oki...

So he transformed a disgruntled, underachieving Nylander for Joker.....positve
He resigned our 40 goal score, who the summer before traded for him for a pile of spare parts....gave a little too much avg money but gotta go in the positive.
He added Johannson....middle 6-9 depth...right term/money....positive
He gave out no long term contracts....positive
He traded a pick for Miller.....positive


If you believe his vision is draft/develop younger players...then the Vesey trade is a wash...depth middle 6 for a 3rd....who cares

He didn't just cast away Risto...positive
Our defense should be drastically transformed....Miller from a contender will help.

Kruger is a wild card


I have no proof but I have to believe he's worked the phones to trade some of our dead weight but look at the cap space at all the other teams....non existent. Even if he wanted to trade say Bogo....he's injured.

You know, I think most of our whinning could go away with one move.....waive VladSbok. If he did this, I really don't think there is too much to complain about. Rhein/Eichel/Skinner are playing top 6 on any teams.....we have a core in place, it's not that bad, especially after this season.


btw, I still think Risto is going to happen....The Jets for Ehlers, which will further solidify our top 9. I just don't think he's doing that bad of a job....plus, there's always the "no one wants to go to Buffalo thing...."

 

[CatsforReinhart]

Thompson too good for the AHL and not good enough for the NHL.

 

[BananaSquad]

Girgs still not cracking the lineup

Honestly I like this lineup... it’s really up to the goaltending

Vesey - Mitts - Sheary looks even better once he’s back, but let’s see how Okposo does

Hey guys Montreal fans coming in peace

I'm thinking about picking Sam Reinhart in my pool but i've not seen him much last year. I liked what i saw but the sample size is small. How does he look at the camp? Do you guys think he can repeat his 60 points season?

He's primed to take a step forward this year, and he's playing for a long term contract

 

[Sabre the Win]

They need to do better than Johansson for 2C, I am only expecting him to play roughly 40 games for us this year.

He was our best player by far last preseason game. Anything short of 60 would be a big disappointment IMO. Hoping for around 70.

He's a lock for our top 6 (possibly alongside Eichel) and PP1, points should continue to come.

 

[Hasekperreault23]

Thompson too good for the AHL and not good enough for the NHL.

I will take a still growing Thompson over Vlad, Kyle, Sheary any day all day

He's never going to be a superstar but in my eyes he's got "unsung hero" stapled to his back. The guy is a machine. I like him a lot. I think he can repeat the 60 point season yes.

Cheers !!

Ugh..so no Asplund or Lazar?.kyle and Vlad,awesome

 

[Dubi Doo]

Flip Reinhart and E rod, and that's probably the best top-6 he can put together. That bottom 6 tho...yikes!

Yes, 60 should be normal and he will get first PP time. He may get his own line though, away from Eichel, don’t let that scare you away.

 

[Zman5778]

I'm VERY interested in how Vlad plays tonight. He had a pretty solid game last time out and was amazing in the dot. If he has another strong game and Larsson remains out, he may very well actually EARN the 4th line C role to start the season.

Tonight's lineup looks like the one we'd roll with if tonight was the season opener.

Sobotka can't hold Larsson's jock. Is this tongue in cheek?

That's gotta be one of the worst Bottom 6's in the league. The defense, with who is healthy right now is not much better.

 

[BuzzKillington90]

I would have agreed without until I seen Sobotka play recently. Much different and actually somewhat useful. He could actually earn his place instead of being gifted it.

His metrics for preseason have been as bad as ever. Just because he puts in effort doesn't mean he's positively impacting team performance.

 

[Fezzy126]

That's it, I hope we lose tonight

 

[Sabre Dance]

I looked at our lines and I've lost my love for the game.

 

[Sansbacon]

Swap Reinhart with Johansson and Okposo with Thompson and I’m slightly less depressed about this lineup.

I guess you didn't listen to Krueger's pre-game presser.

 

[SundherDome]

I like that Krueger is tinkering with lines, that is exactly what pre-season is for.
