The Sabres summer prospect tournie should be the most anticipated since... let's say, 2015.

If the pandemic is a thing of the past, I might have to take some time off to travel for that one.

Dylan Cozens:
"'Krebsy’s' a great guy, and obviously a great player.I was real excited to see that he was coming back in the trade. I played on Team Canada with him maybe four or five times, and I’ve played on a line with him too. He’s very smart, a two-way player and very responsible, so I’m excited to have him. The way he sees the game and reads the game, he’s a great playmaker, and he always finds the open guy. He’ll be a real good player here.”

I sense he'll be a perfect center for Skinner.

Even better because it will likely be 3 2022 1st rounders.

Or Quinn and maybe even Cozens.

"great communicator"

Those words haunt me after the Krueger experience.

Krueger was a charlatan. The guy who comes into your house and sells you a broken vacuum cleaner. Adams seems different.

 

[dotcommunism]

What's nice is with Kreb's he's already passed 9 games, so his contract won't slide if we leave him in the minors all year. My guess is he'll get a good bit on NHL time. Quinn and Peterka might be limited because the front office wants that 1st entry level year to slide.

Krebs is on his 3rd ELC season after having his contract slide twice, his ELC now lasting for five years. He is not eligible for his contract to slide again.

You know we're going to piss away our added first rounders on trying to expedite the rebuild like we did in 2015.

Krebs is a solid addition though, and I am not especially worried about his failure to score in nine NHL games.

He should never have been called up. The Sabres are doing it right with Quinn and JJP and now Krebs

 

[UnleashRasmus]

He took a moment to think about what he said, before blurting out an answer. He also seemed very informed and in the moment and humble and hungry. The guys that I want in Buffalo are the Turcotte, Horvat type of rink rats that just want to soak it up and never give up on any play. Skill and potential are awesome. We need more Goose's, Zemgus's etc. Guys who want to be here and who are hounding the puck.

I definitely agree, here. The guy who can sell you polluted air because you need to breathe in before you pass out. Krueger seemed like a sales merchant and not a coach. He could be a motivational speaker without knowing the game. I just never sensed he had a pulse on coaching. His message was always about the room environment and the emotional spectrum of his players. Which you need, but not as it for the head coach. I remember hearing that he left the systems up to the assistant coaches. Which I find as a joke. It makes you wonder that Hall was emotionally fragile and needed coddling constantly which he loved playing for Krueger because he got it in that form.

That board work, though.

What are you basing that on? Certainly not the actions of the current front office so far.

Doesn't fit in with the rest of what he said, you know the usual "excited for a new adventure" kind of stuff

Which is what he said after the game last night lol

Just curious to the draftnik's, If Krebs was healthy at the draft would of been top 10 or better ?

He was in the mix with guys like Turcotte, Cozens, and Zegras prior to the injury. But who knows what NHL FOs thought.

I don't think he gets in front of Dach or Turcotte. I think he would have been right up there with Cozens and Zegras, maybe even a small tick ahead.

Really depends, scouts had him as high as 5 and as low as 17 from what I remember.

 

[Jim Bob]

Americans set to dominate first round of the NHL Draft - TSN.ca

Bob had Krebs at 10. Turcotte, Dach, Cozens, and Zegras were 4-7.

And that is post injury.

It’s still the Jack Hughes Draft - TSN.ca

At the midterm Bob had Krebs at 9, one spot ahead of Zegras.
