Like his speed - plays well with Girgs. If he can continue to play a good PK role, and throw the body every now and then, he is a guy who will stick around for the year.

Seems like a good candidate to hold the 4C down for the foreseeable future. He has to be HUNGRY knowing this is likely his last realistic shot of cracking an NHL roster. Just need to get that 3rd line figured out and add a top-4 RD- then we're in good shape. Finding a legit starting goaltender would be nice, but that seems more like a crapshoot in FA. You typically need to draft and develop those guys. I'm also of the opinion that our goaltending will look better once the team defense improves.
Rome wasn't built in a day, though. The team is improving and big time roles are being filled. Hopefully Adams can add the pieces need to turn this squad into a playoff team and eventually a cup contender.
He's set the bar for himself.

I've been very happy with Jost's game. A decent amount of skill, keeps his legs moving. Nice pickup so far.

I like him so far. He's probably the weakest link on a really good team... but I think he's a solid add, for now, on this team.
Larsson was the priority and didn't work out. Sheahan was the back-up and didn't work out. Jost is the fortunate plan C that is working so far.
Seems like a great pickup
Like him with Girgensons!
And Okposo
he is the grit we need so far. he also doesn't give up on play like half the team.
He has a goal and another goal that was disallowed when a refs contact fell out and he lost sight.
I feel dahlin has upped his grit since Jost has been there too. Jost shoving people that run into our goalie is good.

I’d love to see all the names that you think give up. Half the team is a lot of names.
please list the…9 to 10 players you think give up on plays.

He's embraced his role and has done what they've asked of him. It's pretty rare that the Sabres have found someone who plays a simple game effectively while trying to get himself and the puck to the net in trade, let alone on the waiver wire.

he didn’t totally suck.
he was a bust for where he was drafted.
his first 4 full seasons in Colorado he was about a 30 pt per 82 game (20% from PP) player. near deadline he was traded to minnesota.
he’s a UFA in 24.
if he accepts his role he can be a decent bottom 6 player.
I would have dropped Hinostroza in a NY minute for Tolvanen.
Probably Asplund too

Waivers and getting claimed may have been what this guy needed. The knock on him is also inconsistency, so small sample size, but happy so far.

RIP RJ
Fit with linemates and coaches is huge. It may be as simple as he is a really good fit within the role and with the linemates that the Sabres have given him.
not really, no. He was consistently ineffective and invisible both in CO, and MN.
Someone else mentioned that it seems more likely that he realizes that this could very well be his last shot in the NHL, and maybe a light has gone off. The guy was just waived after all.
Small sample size yes, so let's hope that this is the case.
Evason said he wanted him to play with more "bite", but he could've also said, "Do something, anything!".
I just don't think that Tyson is equipped to be a grinder. He's not very strong, and tends to lose a lot of board battles. You don't just wake up and decide to become tough.
Hope he works out for you, but he's about as anonymous of a player as you'll find. Maybe he'll be a late bloomer like Thompson, but i don't see it.

He's been very solid on the bottom 6 for us so far and that hasn't been a problem so far. We'll see how long it continues.
I'd rather he use his speed and smarts, and just give it his all. If he does that he'll be fine.

His best quality is driving the puck into the crease. He takes passes and immediately looks to drive towards the net.
I think some are overhyping his effectiveness, but i do think his play has warranted him staying in the lineup. If he is this years Hino, where he gets a small deal to keep him around, I’m fine with it

He's been a valuable addition thus far. Played well with the Girgs line and I really like him with VO.
He plays small amounts of ice time against lower QoC and is mediocre at it. He was waived for a reason.
