Buffalo Sabres 2023-2024 Training Camp Thread

[Chainshot]

And here's the roster:

That’s a lot of guys. Marty was going on about the number of ‘em, but if they are going to have so many pre-season games in such a short span, why not?

Not sure how Zegras chatter fits the training camp thread.

Bryson seems like he is the lowest D on the depth chart.

I'm just getting the popcorn ready for when he outplays Stillman and still is moved/sent down.

I think Stillman will show he's more of what they need as a 6/7 D than Bryson is.

Bryson is very well liked and fits the locker room vibe and that is worth something. We could do a lot worse with an 8th defenseman, and I'm rooting for the guy to get his game on track. I hope he kills it during camp

I wonder if his personality is one that fits what Adams always talks about adding to the locker room.

That seems to be a narrative that is not true. Someone who skates with him in the offseason and actually knows him said he's funny and a great kid. Has NTDP ties. Not likely to happen, but interesting.

Wow Rosén looks legitimately filled out.

He's gotta be closing in on 180? I don't notice Kisakov's growth as much but I hear he gained much-needed weight too.

Looks like someone else besides me is posting Eklund rumors

Rosen still listed at 6' 173 on the camp roster posted in this thread. I assume so, but anyone know if those are updated measurements from this week?

Kulich apparently gained an inch and bulked to 6'1 186. He's entering another category of player in terms of size and build. RIP Craig Rivet's boxers.

I was assuming/hoping those numbers were outdated.

Team Black looks like it's all guaranteed Rochester/Junior guys.

 

[Jim Bob]

It is interesting to me that Tuch & Mitts are on Team Blue and Tage & Skinner are on Team White.

I want to see Skinner-Thompson-Benson.

I expect to see Skinner-Thompson-Greenway.

Serving as a training camp for guys on AHL or ECHL contacts (with two unsigned drafted players - Ratzlaff and Miedema).

Camp Lines?

Camp Lines!

This proves that Krebs will be top line center for Rochester.

This proves that Krebs will be top line center for Rochester.

I think it proves that the plan is for him to be the Sabres 4th line center.

 

[Fezzy126]

Benson is obviously just a 9-game placeholder until Kane gets healthy

If you need to curb some excitement, just stare at the second line for a few seconds. It sobered me right up!

Good thing this is [checks notes] only half of our team...
