Sabres Shut Down McDavid & the Oilers w/ Paul Hamilton | The Jeremy and Joe Show

Jeremy White and Joe DiBiase are joined by Buffalo Sabres beat reporter Paul Hamilton to recap the Sabres’ nice 5-1 win over the Edmonton Oilers last night. Paul starts off by giving the Sabres some props for playing their best game of the season, and shutting down the best player in the world in Connor McDavid. Paul also highlights the improved play from star forward Tage Thompson, and they discuss the possibility of Thompson sticking to the center ice position. They also touch on the injury situation for the team before wrapping things up.

    Tage might be "a force of nature" at Center but he is completely incapable of winning a faceoff, especially in the offensive zone. Possession is critical and he can't do that consistently on the faceoff, and he's a defensive liability more often than not, so that hurts. If I were a Sabres coach, I'd put Kozak out on PP1 with Tage, Rosie, and Tuch but have Kozie take the faceoffs and then plant himself in front of the goalie's face, he's been great on the dot and useful around the crease.
    Jeremy and Joe asked who the Sabres take out of the lineup when guys like Benson and Zucker come back – absolutely take out Krebs and Greenway. They are boat anchors.

    They played like a real team, with excellent forechecking and solid positioning in the defensive zone. Malenstyn looks like a lower-level forward who's making a difference.

    First I will say this we need to be very careful to hand this team over to the younger players. Ellis, Rosen, and Ostlund are doing very well and could in the future be very key pieces to this team. Yes we can try to replace some of the older players with some of these younger players right now. However we need to be careful.
    Ellis can be at least a Back-up Goalie in the NHL right now without a doubt. He does have #1 upside. However I am not about to trade both of our experienced goalies yet. If there is a trade for either Lyon or UPL I think we do it and give Ellis the backup job and if he keeps making us play him more. Then great do that. Lyon would be the easiest to move because his contract. UPL likely is an off season move. If we kept UPL and Ellis that might be a good tandem. It could force UPL to either put up or shut up. If UPL gets injured again Levi can come in and get a chance to show he belongs in Buffalo.
    As for Rosen I keep thinking he could be like Pominville who was waived then came back up and turned into the player he was for his career. Maybe Rosen can be that kind of player. I see similarities between the 2 of them. Do not have Rosen on the top line for now, let him develop without needing to be a primary scorer which it looks like he can be in the future. Leave him as a depth scorer for right now. 2nd or 3rd line is good for now. I would find a way to make room for him there.
    As for Ostlund he is just about ready for the NHL. I would send him back down. Have him keep working and as soon as there is an opening back at Center he would be my first call up and likely I think it would be time for him to stick. This is where Norris comes in to play. If Norris gets hurt again its time to write him off the guy will never stay healthy and his career should be over. Can you trade him to a team that needs the contract for cap space? If so then Ostlund should be your #2 Center.
    You also have Helenius doing very well in the AHL. So there will be a need to make room for him as well long term.
    We just need to be careful with swapping out veterans with younger players. However it will need to be done because these younger players are starting to show they are almost ready.

    Paul Hamilton is THE NHL’s most useless reporter has no inside info cry’s when people say something like “damn” and not to mention during a 15 year drought complains that we boo the team. Get us a different reporter dudes softer than this team

    The Sabres liked Ellis more than Levi? A bit strange. Levi has been working his duff off in Rochester and the Sabres picked Ellis up on waivers and gave the kid a chance to become a #1 goaltender in the NHL. So far Ellis has been a good move for the club and made management seem like they know what they're doing. I'm still curious about the Levi/Buffalo Sabres relationship because the Ellis thing seems odd to me. Somethings not right there.
