Re: Sabres news and notes

Three teams who may be interested in Patrick Kane
Dan Rosen of NHL.com: (mailbag) Patrick Kane’s main priority now is rehab his hip but when he’s looking to sign a contract for next year, believe the New York Rangers, Buffalo Sabres, and New Jersey Devils will be among the teams interested in signing him.

Prediction is he’ll sign with his hometown Sabres.

Re: Sabres news and notes

Rochester has found new assistant coaches(to offset Michael Peca heading to the Rangers, and the other assistant going somewhere else).

Nathan Paetsch and Vinny Prospal are the new duo backing up Seth Appert. (Paetsch has worked with the Amerks before, so it's a return for him.)

BTW, the Amerks have announced their home opener...and as Count Floyd would say, it's "scary, kids....VERRRRY SCARY!" They're opening on Friday, October 13th. Opponent TBD.

Also, pen these days into your calendar:

-Friday, Nov. 24th
-Friday, Dec. 22nd and 29th
-Sunday, Feb. 18th, 2024
-Sunday, March 24th, 2024

Those are the 5 guaranteed home dates for the Amerks.

See posts #196 & 197.

Its good to see healthy minor league hockey in the state of Florida. As someone from up north that lived there in the 1980s, I would have loved to have this then. I'm sure they will find plenty of hockey fans living down there to attend games.

The everblades are in SW FL, JAX is literally as far as you
can get away from here (Naples area) in the state. It’s SWFL versus JAX in the very NE corner. Still cool to have championship hockey here.

Could The Sabres Be Interested In DeAngelo??

Please do NOT do this. We don't need the NHL's white racist in the locker-room.

From 2 years ago: https://thehockeynews.com/news/has-tony-deangelo-run-out-of-chances

Offensive, 5' 11" right handed defenseman seems to last a year at each stop before getting into trouble.

LOL @ DeAngelo. Setting records....

Cap Friendly: Tony DeAngelo has become the first player to be bought out more than one time.

Re: Sabres news and notes

The new edition of the Hockey News Yearbook is out, and as for the Sabres, they're predicting them to finish 4th in the Atlantic AND to be one of the Eastern Conference's wild cards(Pittsburgh is the other). Cup odds are listed at 25-1(for those so inclined).

Can we make a separate scoreboard thread? I have some poetry I can contribute.

I fully expect the team to take a step forward and break the playoff drought.

They’re not ready to compete for the Cup. The talent isn’t quite there and there is virtually no playoff experience.

The only thing that may make them Cup contenders is if Devon Levi can be a top 10 goaltender from day 1, and that’s just not realistic. I think he will be a top goaltender in the league, but it’s a process that takes time. He won’t be that good right away.
