Assuming KA finds a way to dump VO, given the current roster, you have 10 F (assuming Rousek re-signs), how many AHL's are ready to move up opening day (Kulich. Ostend, Rosen), and how many vets need to re-sign.......maybe 2?

So who do you take?

Girgs ~$1.8 - 2.0m
Jost ~ $1.7 - 2.0m
KO ~$2.5 - 3.0m
Hino ~$1.3 - 1.4m ( or maybe even 2-way $800k/$350k)
Free Agent ~$1.75-$2.5m
Click to expand...
Resign Rousek to a two way deal
Let Hino go
Sign Jost as a 13
Resign Gus
Sign KO to staff position
Move VO
Bring over Ostlund and Novikov for ROC
Nadeau to ROC
One of Savoie/Kulich make the Sabres
And as much as I would want to fill in the forward group with good NHL vets, it will probably be more tweeners while there's 4 or 5 young forwards ready in the next year or two. Hell, possibly more.

KA should be filling out the D ranks as all of ROC D expire after this season and only Sammy (8) and Clague (this off-season) do not expire after next season.

Icing those 10 plus small/skill guys like Savoie/Kulich/Rosen just isn't going to happen. It's asking to get caved in.

It's not simply a case of picking just one of those options you listed. More like 2 or 3 of them at the same time.

Sort of.

Carolina ices a pretty small-skill type roster. Their forwards aren't the go-to-war lines that Tampa and Toronto assembled. But all their players are bought in and play hard.

Colorado is a skill and speed team and they skate teams out of the building most nights.

I think there's potential in the Sabres rosters to put the best players on the ice and still win without having a heavy component of the team.

I believe that Ostlund has another year left on his deal in Sweden and Rochester is not an option for him next season.

Ah thank you. I think teams have released players in the past to come over at the player's request or maybe I'm misremembering.

Just read it. Thanks guys

It has been rare that a team has let a player that plays a lot, like Ostlund does, has been released to play in the AHL. Guys generally have NHL outs. But, not AHL outs.

Makes sense. We'll see how guys like Rosen, Kozak, Cederqvist progress with the addition of Nadeau and maybe a Russian or two.

If the NHL was a real league they would encourage skill over unskilled thugs clutching and grabbing and legislate them and that style out of the league the way the NBA did. That's why NBA summer league games draw 4x more viewers than the Stanley Cup Finals.

It's a tough balance. The game i fell in love with more than 20 years ago was better than what we have now IMO. And i have never liked the 'international' flavour of the game with the big ice that seems like it's watered down by comparison.

Regardless of preference... You simply can't win in the NHL icing an entire roster of skill guys. This is a fact that i don't see changing in the near future.

This team is totally different without Samuelsson. I don’t think it is because he is so good (although, I do think he is good). I think it is because we have bad depth and any of our top 3 defenseman (read: the only solid NHL-caliber defenseman on the roster) missing time makes it so AHL players are in way over their heads, getting too many minutes.

Adams could have done a better job bringing in depth this past offseason. Most of this board was begging him to find a veteran partner for Power. They were too sold on Joker being the answer, when I don’t think that was warranted.

Casey Fitzgerald as 7th defenseman represented bad depth too.

He's signed to the Sabres. We've loaned him to his team in Sweden. We decide where he plays next year - not his club.

EDIT: At about 1:20 in this video he talks about his plans. It was always Sweden this year "maybe one more year in Sweden" then NHL.

Sabres prospect Noah Ostlund turning heads in Sweden, scoring special goals - Buffalo Hockey Beat

The night before Djurgardens’ recent exhibition game, Sabres prospect Noah Ostlund and his teammate, Jonathan Lekkerimaki, bet each other who would score the first “Michigan,” a lacrosse-style goal, this season. The goal made famous by the Wolverines’ Mike Legg in the 1996 NCAA Tournament...

When Ostlund visited Buffalo in July for development camp, he said he hopes to come play in North America in a year or two.

“But two years will maybe be the best for me to take one year in the second division in Sweden and a second year in the best division in Sweden,” he said

If he wants to go back next season, I would be surprised if the Sabres forced him to play in Rochester.

I’m resigned to hoping that Adams’s (don’t say cheap) “I don’t want to block kids” line means jettisoning Olofsson into the Sun so the spot is open for camp. Use this backwards thinking nonsense for good instead of hurting your franchise

Hilarious people think Kevyn Adams is the guy pulling purse strings.

Best part is when he uses the data of less penalties being called to say that dirty hits and plays are going the way of the dinosaur. No sir, they just don't get called. Have you not watched a single Tampa game?

Dirty plays happen all the time and less penalties given out is not indicative of players playing a cleaner game. Dahlin gets mugged nightly and I am totally fine with him defending himself.
