Snuggerud is fine in his own right, not seeing a huge mistake there. He's legit.

I don't disagree. My point was that I was fully expecting the Ducks would take either Snuggerud or Kulich at 22. They took Gaucher instead which will prove to be a huge mistake. Gaucher has Derek Grant 4th line written all over him.

Ah, got it. I still haven't finished my morning coffee and the eyeball-to-brain-to-thought process is derailed.

yeah he's pretty good not sure if he will see anytime in NHL any time soon since the Sabres depth is pretty good and bringing him up just to have 4th line minutes wouldn't be very smart.

Someone else here suggested he play another year in Rochester. I'd agree with that. Give him as much AHL seasoning as you can. Peterka & Quinn have been more quiet than productive so far. Not sure what to make out of that. And I don't think 4th line minutes are helping Peyton Krebs either.

This is the problem with too many top notch forward prospects and only 1 NHL team, some aren't going to make it for said team or have their roles as bottom 6 guys instead of top 6.

They going to playoffs? Or will I see Jiri at the Skoda? Note: I prefer Skoda!

It's going to be a struggle. They have a tough division and their centers are not up to snuff. And their team defense is basically prayer that Subban or Houser can bail them out.

This kind of production... yeah, no offfence, but I hope he goes to Europe in April.. does the 1 month training camp when we play Germany, Austria etc. and then, hopefully, makes the roster and goes to Skoda as a sneaky 3rd liner.

At the moment, it's him and fellow rookie Rosen and 2nd year Rousek who were carrying the offense for the last three weeks or so until last night when a bunch of people scored to end goalless droughts. Kulich's been worked in at center some in this stretch and some nights are better than others. The offense is there, certainly. The defense is getting better but he's still 18 and has a lot to learn on that side of the puck.

For sure.. far from a finished product. I think keeping him in the A was a great move. Hope he gets a 'cup of coffee' so he can see how fast the game is (and a small raise for a few games). Rousek better get a call soon.lol I think he's Tyler Benson for the Sabres.
