Confirmed with Link: 2024 Buffalo Sabres Development Camp (July 1-4), 3-on-3 games July 4th

As Hoppe would say, Helenius is "slick."

 

[Chainshot]

Zelenov finding a tiny opening to finish on the rush. McKenna has had some nice stops, might want that one back.

 

[Chainshot]

Kleber is so limby. Reminds me a bit of Myers.

 

[jc17]

The shootout cam is horrendous

Amerks announcer: Sabres are going with a different approach to development camp this year. There's not a lot of talent here, but there's a lot of local kids.
Rayzor: You love to see it

 

[Chainshot]

I would assume that Leenders is dealing with something that they haven't had him on the ice. Some sort of tweak or soreness since McKenna has been in net for all of Robert's/White's games.

Much better offensive touch than I thought for a 'defensive' guy.

 

[Chainshot]

The shootout cam is horrendous

Yet the video quality is better than AHLTV.

 

[Chainshot]

Miedema needed something positive even if it's a relatively meaningless 3-on-3 scrimmage.

I see Sardaryan is moving from UNH to Northern Michigan.

 

[Chainshot]

His scouting reports are pretty glowing about his offensive potential too. He has a lot of mass to put on though - he's all arms and legs.

Apologies to anyone who wants updates, dealing with a family thing and only able to put one eye on the game at times.

The portal makes things interesting. It's like Costantini moved from NoDak to UWM last year and had a decent season but was way more out of sight, out of mind.

Sardarin with his second in the same spot against McKenna.

Looking at Sardaryan's stats at UNH and seeing the skill set, doesn't surprise me he's moved on. Doesn't seem like a good fit for him. I wonder if the Sabres org has a hand in players entering the portal.

 

[Dingo44]

Leinonen is back on the radar at least even if it's closer to the edges.

 

[EichHart]

Haven’t been able to watch, any brief synopsis for me?

 

[markpenske]

the standout for me was Jake Richard

Agreed. He moved well and did creative things with the puck in tight spaces.

 

[Chainshot]

Given the loose nature of things, I was pleased with how both Leinonen and Ratzlaff moved and some of the saves they made that didn't seem to be possible. Richard had the best showing, Helenius probably second best. It's a 3-on-3 game of shinny, I'm not too worried. Ziemer did some net drives and Kebler looked mobile. I liked that Miedema had some good lucks and a goal as the games went along - feel he could use the confidence bump.

great on offense but he got caught up ice a lot and didnt seem like he was in a hurry to get back

Yeah, there was one play in particular where he was kind of coasting back and I caught myself Marg Simpsoning out loud.

It was his third prospect camp. I thought he, Sardarian, and Ratzlaff. But the 2024 crop showed pretty well IMO.

 

[MarkusKetterer]

Announce a von Barnekow-Lofberg signing you cowards!

Two comments:

1.) Mossbrooks is AWFUL in these highlights at mentioning who actually scored goals.
2.) Lost among Helenuis' SO move is the move that Miedema put on Ratzlaff......pretty sure Ratzlaff got de-skated on that.

agree. I also thought Leinonen looked solid in goal. Helenius looked great, pure speed.
Oh yeah, another highlight: Seeing Lindsey Moppert in person
