They played like absolute garbage the weekend AHL tv was free. Why didn't they play like this when it was more accessible to see them play.

Amerks v Utica, 10/17/18.
Pilut, Olofsson, and maybe Nylander making it hard to keep them off the big club if they keep this up.....
Though they are a lot of PP goals

Olofsson leads the AHL in points.
Pilut is tied-2nd in the AHL in points and leads all D in points.
Nylander is tied-10th in the AHL in points.
It will be interesting to see how long they are in Rochester.

Don't rush it because you are getting immediate results.
It's nice to have legit prospects in Rochester instead of the Bailey/Baptiste era of stagnant development. Bailey isn't even an NHL prospect at this point. Asplund/Nylander/Olaffson/Pilut and Guhle are all at the very least NHL players, that bodes well for the Sabres in the next year or so.

Speaking of Bailey, not sure I’ve ever seen him play this poorly. A shell of what he was even from his rookie season. Not sure what happened to him. A steady decline since his second pro season. Should have traded him, not Baptiste. I’d really like them to flip him for another forward. Tired of watching his poor efforts and disappearing act.

For sure. I have more faith in Baps eventually cracking a 4th line speed/energy role. I think Bailey is looking like a permanent AHLer.

I say keep all the kids on the Amerks. Let them build pride, a winner, and development. A kid doing well on the Amerks doesn’t mean it will automatically translate to doing just as well or better on the Sabres. He’s not gonna be a one man savior to turn things around.
They will get their callups. Get a taste. But send them back ASAP so they can help get the Amerks into the playoffs.

I’m biased but I agree. I think a full season together and then moving up to the Sabres next season could do wonders. Nylander, Pilut, Guhle and Olofsson all should likely start with Buffalo next year. Possibly Smith as well. Asplund might need a bit more time.
It’s early but the talent is clearly there to make a run in the spring. I don’t see the Sabres making the playoffs, so regardless, I think the guys here now should all be available for a playoff run, even if some play the second half of the season in Buffalo. There’s good chance Thompson could be added to that mix. A lot is riding on Wedgewood.

This is the play I referenced in the Nylander thread. He does this often. You’re going to have to take the good with the bad with him. He also had another similar turnover later in the game right before he scored his goal. He can be very irresponsible with the puck. He’s a mixed bag and I think he always will be. As long as he produces offense, you deal with it. But he has to score otherwise he turns into a liability.
I agree. I always liked Baptiste more than Bailey. Oh by the way...he already has 4 goals in 5 games for Milwaukee.

And here is the other turnover he had later in the game. Almost the same exact thing. Again, not taking care of the puck.

Perhaps, but there's the possibility that other NHL clubs also saw that Nick had some NHL potential and Justin was trending down. Maybe nobody wanted Bailey, and the Sabres knew they weren't going to keep Baptiste up but didn't want to risk losing him for nothing on waivers.

Whole-heartedly agree. Maybe let a few kids get a cup of coffee at some point, but leave them there for the majority of the season to build chemistry/camaraderie/etc and let them (hopefully) have a deep playoff run.
Then transition a bunch of them to the NHL next year and get rid of the scraps still inhabiting the Sabres.
