Rochester Americans / Cincinnati Cyclones Season Thread 3

Karmanos is killing it!

He don't take vacation in the summer! This is the most players we've ever signed in August!

Weird to think the team has done nothing so often that even these sort of things can be seen as positives.

I would be happy to see B&G scrimmage line of:
Peterka- Quinn - Hayden
or
Murray - Quinn - Peterka (from prospect tourney)
stay together in Rochester.

How the IIHF should react to alarmingly soft Denyskin suspension

Signing Jalen Smereck to an AHL deal to add ECHL/AHL depth should be a no-brainer.

 

[Buffaloed]

You are not getting R2 back.

I wonder if they will continue to practice at BCA and not at BGRI.

Id like to see just UPL and Houser in Rochester. Have one of them "earn" a spot in Buffalo.

 

[Jacob582]

Amerks had 8 coaches/staff at their training camp:

Second-year Amerks head coach Seth Appert along with assistant coaches Michael Peca and Mike Weber. The trio were also joined by Adam Mair, who serves as the director of player development for the organization, and former Amerks Tim Kennedy and Nathan Paetsch, both of whom are in their first seasons as player development coaches with Buffalo. Jason Payne and Alex Bezzera of the Cincinnati Cyclones accompanied the team.
------------
Sabres might be pinching dollars with their NHL salary, but they are putting resources into development.

First UPL has to earn a spot in Rochester.

They hired a lot of local guys - at least they don't have to pay to relocate a bunch of them.

Houser? He’s going to be 30 in a week and is a career ECHL/AHL tweener. If they claim a goalie off waivers before the season he’ll start in the ECHL. He may start there anyway depending on how UPL looks

He was a fun story last year but he’s not going to be a NHL goalie.
