Probably or he's got a minor injury and decided to sit out for today. I really wouldn't read much into it
- Sabresfan-365


well he did go off with the gm not the trainers per the reports so I don't think its an injury

I will bet any of you guys $100 each Girgensons will never score 20 goals and Grigerenko will be a bust. It's so easy to tell, I'm not sure why you guys can't judge talent better. Still holding out hope for Zagrapan.

i'm in on Girgensons...I think you're underestimating just how good a player he is...throughout his hockey life his skill has always followed his will

The one thing that still bothers me (and it really shouldn't) is that when he was drafted TSN's player comparison for him was Mikael Samuelsson.

I think that has to be the most half assed comparison i've ever seen. Like whoever was working on them that year just picked a name out of hat and said well he's finnish so i'm sure they're the same.

Regardless, I certainly hope Armia is better point producer than Samuelsson.

We got Reinhardt and Lemieux . I am jacked Both these guys will play big NHL minutes....
- hafgod


This.

I like Ristolainen and Zadarov just fine but how can you not like this year better?

Oh and Bailey will never make it in the NHL. Kid has AHL written all over him.

Just to verify this is Brian Murray on the phone so this sens trade could be non-sabres realated but still interesting based on all the rumours surrounding Stewart and Ottawa

That annoyed me as well. They show an absolutely beautiful goal of his, then they compare him to Samuelsson?? Awful. It really does shock me that Armia wasn't a top 5 pick, especially with how great he was as a rookie.

Cause people know that he was a couple years away at least. Most guys that go in the top 5 are relatively close to being NHL ready

Not crazy about Prince.. don't know much about him but from what I've read today he sounds like a poor mans Reinhart..

Assets: Has excellent hockey sense and offensive instincts. Can play either center or wing. Is quite good at setting up linemates, but he's also capable of scoring goals himself.
Flaws: Doesn't have ideal size for the National Hockey League game, so he must continue to get stronger in order to maximize output in the professional ranks. Injuries are a concern.
Career Potential: Talented playmaker with upside

Wanted someone with goal scoring touch not a playmaker..

Yeah, I was thinking if Prince projects to be more valuable than Stewart, which he doesnt seem to. Tim Murray knows their prospects though and I am sure he knows what he is doing.

I find it hilarious that 89 is now calling one poster DR Phil now . I would get a timeout for that . But I feel the same way.

Every time he does I burst out laughing at home.
