foligno, girgens, gionta is what I am hoping for come fall time on the third line
- homiedclown

I honestly have zero use for Gionta.

I mean I get that they needed a vet guy and had to spend cash somewhere but he's on empty IMO.

The rule preventing that is the same rule that has been in place for a long time now. Once you send a player back to Jrs he must stay there until his teams Jr season is over with. Said player may then be assigned to his NHL or AHL team. Since he's played 9 games. I'd bet everything I own there is zero chance he plays for Buffalo the remainder of the season.

There was a rule for emergency call ups for CHL players but I believe they 86'd it. I remember the Sabres did that to Marty Biron way back when.

I remember that


I am assuming the Oilers were in a position to bring back Draisaitl because he had played more then 10 games

Dalpe is having a pretty decent season. He scored last night. I don't think he'll ever be an NHLer, but a career AHLer that can fill in on an NHL team in a pinch from time to time.

He's this teams version of Mark Mancari.

Nothing more
Nothing less

Oh I'm sure he won't see Buffalo this season. I was just unaware of the rule preventing him from coming back after reassignment.

Nolan loves him

21 minutes plus per night

I think Mancari just got insulted

Guy was such a Richard.

I think reinhart could potentially become our #1 RW in a couple of years


Kane-McEichel-Reinhart
Trade/FA(O'reilly ?)-Girgensons-Ennis
Moulson-Grigorenko-Gionta
Foligno-Schaller-Deslauriers
- Pegullaville

That's just dumb IMO he is a center not a number one winger

Yeah they fvcked that one up but he falls under the same rules. He's in the CHL until his teams season is over with.

That's just dumb IMO he is a center not a number one winger
- gerbe75pts

and a play making center at that


My guess is he will be more like a 25 goal/50 assist center which would be perfect for a player like kane or ennis

With this news this morning and our GM's misguided love affair with "big goalies" it sounds like what I said is close to being accurate which was....

...the Sabres starting goaltender for the 2015/16 season is not currently in the organization.

Neuvirth is as good as gone by Monday. If I had to guess I would say he goes to Vancouver.

Should we move Mceichal to the wing then ?

Yup. It's not like there were really many other options. I guess they could have called up Catenacci, but I don't know that he really deserves it. He hasn't been all that impressive and this is his 2nd full year there.

And I care how?

girgens to the 3rd line

Cat is another career AHLer IMO.

only other option IMO was Carrier, he has turned his game around

I still say that if Grigorenko is to make his mark in Buffalo it will be at rw.

Why is it misguided? Go look at the size of the starting goalies around the NHL and make that statement again.

Just curious, do you think Murray just goes after big goalies regardless of talent level? Is Murray still a turd under Nolan's Crystal shoe?

- homiedclown

Dumb...

Maybe I should of used not smart then

Can't call Reinhart up. Not without activating his deal. Pass. Even if we were in the hunt.
- TheSabresTaco

that is why i said if we were in the huint

- homiedclown

He had some nice moves last night. Had a pretty sick steal in the offensive zone that led to a prime scoring chance.
