Most Sabres fans don't even know who we drafted last year in any round. Most Sabres fans around here have not written him off. We just don't say crazy stuff like him being a possible Zetterberg.

Possler seems to have recovered well from his injury last year and got credited for his first two points of the season yesterday (a goal and a helper). I didn't watch the game though so I can't say anything about his performance but thought you might be interested to know that he's back on track.
I've seen all 3 games and he has definitely been one of our best players, playing in the first line and first PP. Altough, after the game yesterday, he said he wasn't satisfied yet, he feels like he's got 1 or 2 levels more until he's playing like he has the ability to. Understandable, bcus of the injury he had ofcourse.
All in all, he's been good but will probably get even better and better moving forward.

He's getting a lot of ice time already, so the team must think he's pretty much fully recovered. He's moving well out there from what I've seen.

I had pretty much written this season off developmentally figuring it would take that long for him to really feel "right" and get back to the level he was playing at, but if he's already even close to that then I've massively sold him short.

Checked the box score and he had like 14 minutes at that point (while Kylington had 7), he had almost 20 by the end of it. My feed was acting up but I saw many shifts of his and he was flying really well. His goal had him swooping in on a puck in front of the net, looked very smooth in his movement to it. I was worried too, but I think that worry is almost all gone now. It looks like he will be a key player for MODO.

Make or break year for him. Needs to show that he can build on his post draft season. Needs to show that he can be a consistent threat on the ice every single game which he should be at this point. He should be one of the better producers in the league.

Possler skated with Nilsson and Axel Ottosson in MODO's fourth preseason game earlier today. MODO lost 5-4 and his line didn't appear to be in on any of the GF.

Nada for Olofsson (1st line) and Possler (3rd line) as MODO continues preseason with a 7-3 loss to SAIK. Grundström ('16) 1+1 for MODO.

Possler had an assist in Modo's 5-4 win over KAR today; minuses on GA1 and GA2, but wasn't culpable on either. He's the guy chipping the puck to the point and then heads to the net front:

Gustav Possler scored his fourth goal of the year in MODO's 5-2 win over Karlskrona. One-timed slapper off a low-high feed from Grundström.

Fair comparison on the shot, at the dev camp/scrimmage you could really see that this kid can really shoot.
