[Ace]

He’s in for Jost.

Olofsson remains out for Biro.

The king of Prague returns -

"It was perfect time" to go play on that recall.

His latest recall he was the guy I thought he could be - energetic on F1, disruptive, made some plays, pesky, good efforts. It wasn't his fall recall at all.

 

[Jersey Fan 12]

Leading scorer for Amerks with five assists in four playoff games.

He is 25 years old and played 15 games with the Sabres. Is there anything to see in terms of NHL potential or is he at the peak of his career trajectory?

Looks like he will be their 12/13/14 next year. His late recall was pretty good by comparison to his early one where he was just not himself.

Pesky? Perfect for Roch.

I'd lean closer to 13/14.

Rousek's problem is going to be:

He's an AHL skill player, not big, and he's basically a finished product at this point. He isn't going to bring what the bottom 6 needs, and he's not skilled enough to take a top 6 spot from anyone here.

If he is on the roster on opening day, that's a clear sign the team just isn't using all it's resources, the opposite of what Mr. Adams likes to keep repeating. My bet is not in NHL

For sure. Him and Rosen are pretty obvious trade candidates.

If Philly wants to save money, I'd love to flip Rousek there for Hathaway.

I would do that in second, but not sure Philly is taking Rousek for him. His $2.375 cap isn't perfect for a 4th liner but also not horrible.

Eh, he's shown he can be a speed checker based on his last recall. That puts him in the 12/13 category. WE might want Hathaway but ADAMS hasn't shown he wants a Hathaway or more.

He scored one goal in his first game. I believe. A complete nothing in the NHL and small little things like this is why Buffalo continues to miss playoffs. With cap room to spare, a guy like Rousek shouldn't be on your roster until you hit major injuries.

Adams has said multiple times he wants the bottom 6 to be tougher and have an identity.

And I keep talking about going back to Costa Rica. About the same amount of action happening fulfilling either.
