Prospect Info: Linus Weissbach (2017, 192nd) Signed by Frolunda, SHL

[SnuggaRUDE]

Maybe and I'm just spit ballin' here: job #1 isn't finding a way to allow Universities to continue to make money acting as developmental sports leagues.

[MarkusKetterer]

That assist is just how Jankowski drew it up

 

[TheMistyStranger]

I didn't realize they got the guy from the SpongeBob intro to do Amerks play by play.

 

[Chainshot]

Weissbach is all over them and pots his second. Wow, nice shift.

[tsujimoto74]

The kids are all right

Listening live and I instantly thought that too lol

 

[jc17]

That looked easier than Hall's empty netter last night

 

[Matt Ress]

The elusive 2 on 2 breakaway

 

[Chainshot]

It's been a few weeks since he last played. I haven't heard what is ailing him.

 

[Chainshot]

Weissbach traveling with the team, may be cleared to play later in this road trip.

 

[Chainshot]

His forecheck was tenacious tonight.

 

[The Blunder Years]

Very impressive development curve for a late rounder. Hope he can work his way into the bottom 6 down the line

 

[Dingo44]

No mention of Weissbach in Wheeler's Sabres Top 20 Prospects, nor in his honorable mentions. I still have high hopes for the kid.

EDIT: I see both Weissbach and Biro have aged out. In 2021 Wheeler had Weissbach at #8 and Biro at #10.

 

[Chainshot]

Him finishing hits and poking about with his stick is new. Pointy Weissbach = best Weissbach.

Druids. Be careful Linus -- don't partake of the big feast at sundown.

Midsommer was late June he is safe until next year

Has to be one of the bigger pleasant surprises of this camp.

What are his realistic career prospects?

Hard to say at this point. Sabres development staff is still helping these late round picks build their toolbox.

What are his realistic career prospects?

I'm thinking he could have a Brian Flynn-type career.

Good skater, not a bad playmaker and scorer but bottom 6 in that regard. Not bringing a whole lot more so if he can put together a specialty, like defense or find more of a scoring touch, he could be a regular. For now, he's kind of a tweener. He's small but noticeable when he's on the ice.

We've sat on him for a while, he's 24 and his ELC is up after this season so I'm sure he's looking to get noticed in his 2nd AHL season and could see a call up if he's performing well. There will be several forwards that the Sabres may want to get a look at so it will be interesting to see who stands out but this will be a big year for Linus if he's hoping to get another NHL contract.

The more competition for roster spots, the better. The more options Adams has for trade packages, the better.

Unexpected development from a player like Weissbach is found money.
