20 pts in 27 AHL games for a guy picked in the top-10 of the NHL Draft doesn't seem like something to write home about

Come on!
Jesus Christ, he's only 18
poop, he is hurt for 1/2 the season
Hey, he is concerned about his brother's hold-out.
Hell, he's only 19
I mean, like he's only barely 20
He's only 20 and 3/4

He sucks.
Trade him while the perceived value is still there.

And? He has played Hockey his entire life.

This shouldn't be a conversation. If he's a top-10 pick, been playing his entire life, he should be a .ppg player in the AHL at 20.

He's about a .75 .ppg clip.

You think that is going to translate to the NHL? He's already in the last year of his ELC isn't he?

Him and Nylander may be trade bait along with a couple others from what I was told.

Makes too much sense with 4 first rounders on the way.

One of the leading scores in Rochester
Something is off

- gerbe75pts


He clearly isnt what the Sabres need is the problem.
His 16.7% goal scoring this year so far is nearly double his average of 9.6% or so...and at 7 G's in 27 AHL games, that says to me that he will likely struggle scoring in the NHL.
Offer him straight up for Jesse Puljujarvi

Rasmus Sandin is an 18 YO d-man and he is almost operating at a 0.75ppg clip. Nylander is improving but he should be completing dominating this league if he’s ever going to be anything more then role player.

Because you went to the game in person and watched nylander with your own 2 eyes do absolutely nothing?


interesting- maybe he had a good game on tv?

Tre white has regressed... he is not a #1 corner
- gordong



You're kidding right?

Not a #1 corner on the bills?
Not a #1 corner in the nfl?

He's a pro bowler or alternate this season
Book it

Teams avoid throwing anywhere near him most games

He's basically a throw-in chip to sweeten a deal with pedigree, hope and promise.
Would love to see him bust out and dominate, but as you said he should be doing that now.
He a decent AHLer...shame if they don't move him and recoup some value.

Melnyk is cheap.

Gaborik for Berglund and Elie?

- jcragcrumple

He is 36 and has two more years on his albatross of a contract and is a shell of himself.

He was our best player in preseason. He should have never been sent down.

There are tons of players who score more in the NHL than AHL. There is also a ton of players that don't "get it" until after 20 years old. What you should be focused on is if he is progressing.

Yeah, he sucks, but it's $1m more for one less year, and he has 7 goals this year. And he didn't just pull some shenanigans

Interesting from Friedman

He stated that Berglund had a full no-trade clause that expired on June 30th and it switched to a modified no-trade clause. Berglund apparently did not get his updated list into the Blues in time and the trade was able to go through. He says both sides are looking for a solution to the situation.

- Der Kaiser


Oh well, sucks to be you, don't let the doorknob hit you on the ass on the way out.

That's on the player and perhaps, more importantly, on the agent; he should've had the list to the Blues well before the full NTC expired. Just one more thing that shows he doesn't give a (frank).

He has had a good year with 2 or 3 stinker games thrown in.
Today was not a good day for him.
He was female dog-slapped several times

7 goals is his entire last year total. He hasn't played a game this year due to back surgery. He may not even play this year.

Oh poop, my b, didn't realize that was last year's stats. I saw 31 games, which is pretty much where we are, so I thought that was this year. Yeah, so not him then.

I don't think Berglund is even tradable without an asset going the other way. Maybe St. Louis would take him back but at this point it doesn't look good.
