if you are a 3rd/4th line player you have to be better defensively to get a real shot. i noticed he has been scoring at a good clip.. But i also see Kea scoring a decent amount and he is a big body and solid defensively. Logan Nelson made some leaps this season too.

He could end up being a poor mans Marchand

Yea somewhat, I don't think he will be a 20 goal scorer, but a role player with some skill like a Helm type player is where I see him ending up
- sbroads24

If he turns into Helm i'd be quite alright with that

just like the years we were good with Vanek Roy Max as our third line..

Exactly what I was thinkin

Talent Analysis

A speedy forward with the ability to play all three positions, Catenacci will end up a winger in the NHL. He uses his acceleration to create space when he has the puck, find space when he does not and finish his checks should the need arise. People often overlook Catenacci because of his lack of size, but he has shown more than a willingness to get in the dirty areas and play physical.

looks like a damn good show but you will need to watch it from the beginning

I am a little scared about tonight

at some point the canes are going to get it together and Ward gets his poop together

if we stay out of the box, 4-3 win

at least you didn't mention Deadwood.

They have pills for that...

Would be like the Van Roy line when they were rooks

....Keep in mind than Van/Pommer & Miller (and Ott) are all UFA's at the end of next year. Our third line in 2014/15 probably won't be our 3rd line any more. There will probably be a mix of kids and a veteran down there and Grigo/Armia and who ever will be closer to our top line if not our top line. I think i have mentioned this before, but the sabres are set up for an interesting two years because I can tell Regier is planning for the future and is going to make his decision on those UFA's based on what they achieve this year and most of next year. We got a lot of youth knocking on the door and some vets that have preformed admirably for us, but never took us all the way. It will be interesting to see who they re sign out of those 4 and who they're willing to turn the page on.....I feel we need to find a spot for Armia and Girgensons and those spots could be vacated by Pommenville & Vanek, but that's a lot of veteran experience to lose and replace with 2 kids....

I read that Ward was fighting an illness. The Sabres seem to play pretty decent when Ewok is in net so I like their chances tonight. Grigs gets his first goal.

Darcy said his priority is Van/Pom and especially Miller. Ott is a no brainer.
