Wow what a goal that is

The celebration might be even better

 

[TheMistyStranger]

That’s a clever celebration haha

 

[Dex]

He needs to start thinking about choosing a new number

 

[Tatanka]

He can go with 99...whats the problem?

PPG this season, in the NCAA, as a sophmore, as a 7th round pick... interesting

Especially given that the rest of the team isn't scoring a lot. Its not like hes just the benefactor of a really good senior

 

[Revelate]

Weissbach could explode next year with the influx of talent the Badgers are bringing in. Turcotte, Caufield, and Lindmark. Plus another year of development for Linus, Dhooge and Miller (if he stays)

 

[Chainshot]

Turcotte's wearing #15. I hope he and Linus get some ToI together on the top line.

 

[Matt Ress]

Contract offer if Linus has an even bigger year coming up?
We all know how scary that 4th year can be.

Could be. They are pretty thin on forward scoring depth. They need to be beating the bushes overseas as well as the NCAA UDFA.

This helps a bit to ease my nerves about him not coming to Dev camp

Yep. He has to pay his own way for that too, which is harder on the college guys.

Especially if he has to pay his way overseas and back. I think the Sabres could've made his attendance there mandatory; probably a good will gesture on their part to let him skip, save the money, and enjoy his time off with his family.

Our 2017 class is developing pretty nicely. Weissbach, Pekar, and Laaksonen look like they could turn into real gems for where they were picked.

I'm hoping he gets time on LW with Turcotte and Caufield. He was pretty good as a freshman with Frederic, could really tick with dominant 2-way guy in the middle and a finisher on the other wing.

They can't mandate attendance by a player that is not under contract, I believe.

Sleeper. Kid's gonna keep rising up these types of rankings. He could use some body mass. We need to invest in swedish meatballs.

[TheMistyStranger]

That top line makes me drool

 

[Moskau]

He will get the Paul Byron treatment if he sticks on that top line. Pretty much every non Sabres fan was convinced Byron was a product of playing with Giroux but you could see he had speed and skill that could translate to the NHL. I expect the same thing to happen with Weissbach. I don't know if he will ever become a full time NHL player but there's something there.

 

[Chainshot]

2 assists in game one. Not a bad line to be on tonight...

 

[Chainshot]

Titanic defensive battle tonight:

Weissbach with a primary on Turcotte’s first as well as one by Caufield six seconds into the third.
