And obviously bailey is back up
Amerks win again... playing better as of late.
Ullmark wins AHL player of the week
jatmthejatm, so with the ROR injury, what should we expect from our prospects. aside from eichel and reinhart. are there other guys at the bailey level? and what are our expectations? I haven't heard much
Well, they called up bailey and Cal oreilly. Right now, the Amerks are pretty thin, most of the prospects have graduated to the NHL or been moved. So in that respect, outside bailey, who is already here, there isn't much. Carrier has been improving dramatically and Baptiste is still learning the game too

it feels like we went through the prospect pool fast. agreed we have high risk high reward prospects. but we do need to get a legit second line and a real deal set of grinders and pounders that don't have to score so much as be defensively effective.
We did. Sabres drafted high often and somewhat rushed prospects. And lots of trades.
And some guys just didn't work out. Armia was FANTASTIC his sophomore season with the merks. But right when he was traded, he fell off the face of the earth.
Grigo is growing with the aves. I like the kid and glad to see him growing. Compher is really having a season for michigan.
Also, Fasching should be signed once the gophers season is over

Old friend joel Armia just scored for the jets
And he scored a highlight reel goal. Wow

Anyone watch the game last night? Any notes on the comparison of Eichel and McDavid? Just curious how it looked head to head.
One looks like a generational talent.
one looks like he's got some pretty good skills but skates and plays the game weird.

Doesn't seem to understand the flow of the game or how to utilize his teammates... his elite skills are what has allowed him to create space and opportunity on the ice throughout his life.
his skills are still going to allow him to create offensive opportunity and production, but I'm not sold on his gameplay IQ.

Eichel is 19. He's shouldering a lot right now especially with ROR out. Opponents are pitting their best checkers against him and the checking talent in the NHL is way better than anything he faced at BU. There is no one on the team to take the heat off him in that respect. Of course, he's going to have to learn to deal with that.
Comparing any rookie from the past decade to McDavid is a bit unfair. A generational talent as you say. And throw your best checkers against him every game and the Oilers will burn you with Nugent-Hopkins and Draisaitl.
Eichel has a lot to learn, but he'll come around. I recall another certain 2nd overall pick that was a clear disappointment his rookie year. The Sabres thought they made the right decision not taking him first overall. That judgment proved premature.
Lehner's history. He just doesn't know it yet.

Oilers aren't beating anyone.
mcdavid is 100% ready now and showed it. his OT goal was a joke. Lehner should have stopped it.
Eichel is growing into his role. he didn't play a long EHL season. he played truncated college hockey. everyone knew this is the difference between the two players.
the sabres also have zero talent due to injury and roster make up. Larson, foligno, moulson, gionta simply don't score. and they are essentially the second line. so now someone like coastal wants a 19Yr old to magically do it on his own? Edmonton actually has talent in Hall and yakupov. they had stretches of pure domination in our end and it had nothing to do with eichel. It definitely would have been more fun if eichel could have scored right before the mcdavid OT goal, but it didn't work out that way.
