Thompson, Skinner, Cozens, Dahlin… and Girgs, Okposo, Mitts, Olofsson, Joki, Samuelsson, Bryson, UPL.Buffalo Sabres Daily Cap Tracker - CapFriendly - NHL Salary Caps
Daily salary cap tracking details including majors, minors, taxi squad, projected cap hit, and accumulated cap hit details for the Buffalo Sabres NHL teamwww.capfriendly.com
Of the 53 players that were under contract in Botts last year as GM, only 12 are left.
Tuch, Greenway, Krebs, Quinn, Peterka, Jost (RFA), Lyubushkin, Stillman, Power, Clague (RFA), Comrie, and Levi are all "Adams guys."
And I would give him credit for not moving out guys he inherited that have developed into big core pieces like Thompson, Skinner, Cozens, and Dahlin.
Adams hasn't completely turned over the roster. But, part of his job is maximizing what he inherited. And I think that he has done a good job with that.Thompson, Skinner, Cozens, Dahlin… and Girgs, Okposo, Mitts, Olofsson, Joki, Samuelsson, Bryson, UPL.
You were short a few inherited names.
I like it if Kulich/Savoie have to earn their spots; Kulich is np since he could use the extra year to round out his game in the AHL and can be called up any time.Skinner, Thompson, Tuch
Quinn, Cozens, Peterka
Mitts, Krebs, Greenway
Girg, Jost/X, Okposo
Is how i see our forward group. Preferably X is a Nosek type replacing Jost.
No room for VO.
No room for Kulich or Savoie unless they can beat out anybody in the top 9.
Rousek, Murray or any other good AHLers are 13 /14F.
replace him with whom? nobody internal is close to ready or offers what he has. why bring in someone from the outside to disturb the chemistry if you have a homegrown player who has been through it all and still wants to be here.I feel the same..I think we could have upgraded his spot considerably either through someone internal or a FA since we have the cap space...I'm disappointed.
who are those young guys proven to excel at shot suppression and pinning the other team in their zone? they cant even do it at the AHL level yet what he does in the NHL.Leadership, shot suppression, hustle. There’s a legit argument for letting him go right now though. We have the young guys to fill in.
But veteran leadership is a real thing IMO. We need older, selfless players on the team to teach these kids that there are things other than scoring that are important. We have enough scoring.
(I wish it was a Stanley Cup winner that can still skate. But Girgs is acceptable.)
I didn’t say anything about PROVEN guys filling in, so not sure why you’re phrasing it that way. I also said I’d rather have a Stanley Cup winner who could skate instead…but to answer your question, guys in Rochester with potential at shot suppression? Kozak, Rousek. Other forwards that we could potentially fill in spots in our lineup? Savoie, Kulich, Rosen.who are those young guys proven to excel at shot suppression and pinning the other team in their zone? they cant even do it at the AHL level yet what he does in the NHL.
I don't like the idea of Savoie rotating into that spot at all. Maybe Rousek though...I like it if Kulich/Savoie have to earn their spots; Kulich is np since he could use the extra year to round out his game in the AHL and can be called up any time.
It will be interesting to see what they do with Savoie.
I wouldnt mind finding a vet C on a short term to fill the spot between Z and KO.
When Ko needs a rest maybe rotate in Rousek/Savoie
