Jacob Stoller and Patrick Williams discuss the Buffalo Sabres giving a couple of prospects a shot at the NHL, sending Devon Levi to the AHL, Chicago Blackhawks prospects, the Canadiens' Joshua Roy and more.
On this episode of The Hockey News On The 'A' Podcast with Jacob Stoller and Patrick Williams:
- The Buffalo Sabres sent Jiri Kulich and Devon Levi to Rochester, but Isak Rosen remains in the NHL. Kulich and Rosen made their NHL debuts this past week, with Rosen earning an extended look. Levi, 21, is set to get his first taste of AHL action in a move that Patrick and Jacob believe was long overdue.
- Brandt Clarke is dominating the AHL competition. The 2021 eighth overall selection leads all AHL defensemen as a rookie. But pump your brakes on calling for an NHL recall.
- Laval Rocket prospect Joshua Roy is the prospect of the week. The 2021 fifth-round pick has 18 points in 18 games. Pat explains how his impact goes beyond his raw point totals.
- The Chicago Blackhawks are the team of the week, with the Rockford IceHogs as their AHL affiliate. The guys dive into the strong starts from Nolan Allan, Colton Dach and Drew Commesso.
- Around the 'A': AHL trades, San Diego ending their abysmal losing streak, and Will Bitten coming up clutch on Hockey Fights Cancer night.
