Player Discussion John-Jason (JJ) Peterka, RW (34th overall, 2020) -- Signed to ELC

[dugman]

Was this kid at camp last year? I'm old and do not remember lol, how did he look??

He was playing for Germany at world juniors then went back to play in Germany. Not at camp.

 

[Asymmetric Solution]

He might be able to play next year.

 

[Buffaloed]

I am intrigued by his Hechtian chin. A little work and he might have himself a full Dumont.

I hope he's mullet proof.

[Fjordy]

I think they could put together a very interesting lineup in Rochester

 

[UnleashRasmus]

I love Peterka as a prospect. This is probably the most exciting pick we've had in the second round in a decade. Other than Rasmus Asplund, who is a full time NHL player. For me, this is one minor nugget of hope.

 

[KiwiGriff]

One of my mates is a Flyers fan and before the draft he was telling me he how much he wanted them to take JJ at 23. He was amazed we managed to get him in the 2nd round.

I was going to say Asplund and UPL. Fans and media loved some Guhle.

UPL is a fine prospect, I just mean for a team lacking exciting offensive touch, he has that in spades. I will be called a moron, but I still think he's a better overall prospect than Quinn. Just based on his playing style etc. Quinn can still be a quality forward, and he is a first round talent.

If people don’t care where guys were picked, we should have 2 guys that are locks for being top 9 players (not saying this year) with potential for more.

I’d add McCabe. Ton of hype after he captained USA in the WJC

That's what everyone thinks about their picks in the top 40ish.

I feel like we got 2 guys with decent floors, but it's hard to call anyone a lock until they're in the nhl.

Are we waiting until after the draft for a summer prospect poll?

This is true! Proper analysis, who gives a damn! Right on BananaSquad. With the potentiality of UPL being our long term starter. *Possibly*

I’d add McCabe. Ton of hype after he captained USA in the WJC

McCabe is a serviceable, middle pairing defensemen. I've never underestimated him, but I won't overestimate his impact on the Sabres. He's missed a lot of games with injury. While I'd welcome him back, I don't want to overpay him, and I'd rather see more of Samuelsson if he wants north of $4,000,000 per season. He can walk if that's his asking price. Again, anyone who has been here as long as McCabe has, I'd like to move on, and let them see a chance of success elsewhere. Ground out the potent negativity.

He's talking as a prospect. There's always been a Peterka. You mentioned another one, Samuelson.

That's fair, it was brought up in comparison to other 2nd round picks, to which I responded. Again, this is a direct response. Samuelsson was another 2nd round pick.

Personally, I haven't been this optimistic about a 2nd round pick of ours in a while.

I was excited about Luke Adam that worked out great .

Now I get to deal with his Twin Tage

 

[Ralonzo]

Tage could still turn into Adam Creighton. Probably for some team other than the Sabres.

 

[sabremike]

Tage could still turn into Adam Creighton. Probably for some team other than the Sabres.

This is going to look real bad when Tage scores 72 goals for us next season.

 

[UnleashRasmus]

Scrub!

 

[Zach716]

His performance in the games I saw with Germany were straight up dominant. I am very high on this kid.

Must be potent
