he needs weight, which is easy to come by.
- Putzfrau

He's an inch taller than Sekera and weighs 8 lbs less. He could use a little more weight, but overall, he's not what I would consider small.

i agree completely.

if he could be up around 200 pounds maybe a little more depending on how it affected his skating, it would be perfect.

I would be more concerned about it if he was at like 170. Then it would be a major issue. 8ish or so pounds is not exactly a big deal. I do agree that 200 would be ideal. He could probably use a bit more muscle. But I wouldn't want it to come at the expense of his skating either.

Huh I found Sekera listed at 6' even, weird. Same idea though.

no one wanted to trade him

Oh that's right, you weren't around for a while.

On the Sabres website Sekera is listed at 6' and Pysyk is 6'1"

There was quite a few trade proposals with him as a part of it.

Yeah putting on 10 or so pounds in his core and legs shouldn't effect his skating, could improve it. I know what you're saying though, don't want him to become a beefcake.

It's heating up! Waiting for Neil to try something

Oh Stafford is playing..... heard his name

OK, just different reports I guess, minor detail.

Part of what makes him so good is his skating. He's a really smooth, effortless skater. Too much added weight can cause issues with that.

I get the feeling that two years down the road he's going to be logging big minutes. Like 23-25 minutes a night. His skating ability is what will enable him to do that.

He's definately a keeper. Hard to tell he's a rookie.

Yeah he is a great skater. Wouldn't it be great if one of these younger D could go for half a game and be strong defensively? Would have a huge effect on our team overall.

OK, just different reports I guess, minor detail.
- rsj2588

I usually just go right to nhl.com. You'll get varying reports in general, so if you stick to one it makes it easier.

And at this point, I don't care if he's 5'0". If he's playing good, it should make no difference.

Just eliminate a few of them, mainly Hecht and that will be a big improvement. Those youngsters aren't lazy.

Yeah. It would be nice. I was trying to find the ice time stats for the AHL, but couldn't find anything. I was curious as to how much time he was getting on average down there.

Just keep watching Weber. I am really impressed by his improvement.
