Rhuwedel signs for 2 years

Yawn.

Sorry - I just don't see where this guy fits in other than a temporary fix, and even then not much of one.

Nothing against the guy ... .

He's better than Weber.

Those Yawn type D are guys you appreciate more when you don't have them. Solid in your own end can help with the offensive side a bit. Those are ideal 5/6 guys.

I'm not saying I wouldn't appreciate that sort of player. I'm saying I haven't seen that with real NHL quality from Ruhwedel.

He's not a guy that you're typically going to notice most nights. Just like Pysyk. He is pretty good in the corners, especially since he is considered to be on the smaller side. Makes good, smart plays. Has a pretty good outlet pass. His ceiling probably isn't as high as Pysyk's, but for an undrafted free agent out of college, he was a great pickup.

I'm better than Weber, and I suck

I feel like he has more offensive upside....but def looks like one hell of a hitter....though he did take himself out of position once or twice by going for the big hit...but had enough speed to recover....he needs a lil more time....wish he could go to Roch

Did you see his shot on the leduc goal? Was an absolute laser off the back wall. Also look at his junior highlights, his one timer on the PP was lethal at times.

Agreed.

And all of this, especially with Pysyk having a higher ceiling, tells me that Ruhwedel shouldn't be a part of a long term solution in Buffalo.

my biggest fear is he takes a bunch from the Latvian staff

you know, the team that won one game but can do no wrong

Agreed.

So you're saying that we can't have 2 guys with similar skill sets? I don't see why you can't have Pysyk on the 2nd pairing and Ruhwedel on the 3rd.

Nice play.

No - I'm saying even if we need two of those guys (and I'm not sure we do), Ruhwedel shouldn't be one of them.

But......but........they tried really hard.

More snark from Harrington (wouldn't surprise me), or is there something people can pay to subscribe to?

I'm assuming he's just jabbing at WGR

Anti-Russian.

Agreed.

I can see him as a 6/7th d man

he is the least of the problems

- dadeadhead

exactly

Nah, That's Ristolainen. Size, style of play, offensive talent. They are similar

Zadarov is a puck rusher, like Myers. he just can't skate like him

Thats boads well for Z then...

Anti-Russian.
