thesportsbuff Posted October 2, 2010 Report Posted October 2, 2010 According to the twitter feed this morning, Kassian has been sent back to the OHL where he'll rejoin the Windsor Spitfire.
carpandean Posted October 2, 2010 Report Posted October 2, 2010 Bummer. That first game looked great, but after that he didn't show much. Unfortunately, this will be pretty much a throw-away year as he will be going back to play with boys ... ew, that came out wrong.
inkman Posted October 2, 2010 Report Posted October 2, 2010 No surprise here, maybe it will be for his own good but his style will sorely be missed on a team of marshmallows.
Eleven Posted October 2, 2010 Report Posted October 2, 2010 Well, they still can call him up for 9 games at any time, right? So if there's a need, or if the Sabres feel Kassian needs some time at a higher level, he'll be back.

So if there's a need, or if the Sabres feel Kassian needs some time at a higher level, he'll be back. I'm pretty sure that once he starts the season in juniors he can't be called until he is done with his junior competition.
thesportsbuff Posted October 2, 2010 Author Report Posted October 2, 2010 I'm pretty sure that once he starts the season in juniors he can't be called until he is done with his junior competition. This is what I have been led to believe as well. Though I can't say I'm 100% on it -- I just assume if it were do-able we would see it a lot more often.
spndnchz Posted October 2, 2010 Report Posted October 2, 2010 Adam, Schiestel, Persson, Byron, Gragnani, Parrish and Mancari also sent 'away'. That leaves: Weber, McCormick, Butler, Ellis, Gerbe, Sekera, Ennis, Enroth, Leggio. Jordon Southorn has signed with the Trenton Devils of the ECHL. LaLime has a groin problem, probably why they're keeping Enroth and Leggio.

spndnchz Posted October 2, 2010 Report Posted October 2, 2010 TJ Brennan? That's true, no mention of him staying or going. He looked pretty good though, not sure if he'd beat Shakira and Butts but IMO def better than Weber offensively.
Stoner Posted October 2, 2010 Report Posted October 2, 2010 Let's hope it's serious. :thumbsup: Yep. Career-ending even. I love this time of year. Summer's dreamers fade away, and the realists turn blue and gold again.

Not sure what you mean there. Most of us wanted someone besides LaLime in the back up spot. For the number of games we know he'll play why not? I wouldn't see him playing until at least two weeks from now. I think Lindy's more worried he's not getting ice time than his groin pull.

I just mean that it's good to see some intelligent posters return to the board, like the swallows to Capicolla.
repster Posted October 2, 2010 Report Posted October 2, 2010 Kassian injured his foot last night and had to leave the game. Wonder if that might have contributed to the decision.
inkman Posted October 2, 2010 Report Posted October 2, 2010 Let's hope it's serious. :thumbsup: You have noticed that EVERY backup since Miller starting carrying the load has sucked. You have seen the cycle repeat itself over and over, right? Lindy rides Miller early, back up gets rusty, back plays like he's rusty, back up plays sparingly and in accordance, like he's rusty and poorly for rest of season. You have seem this repeat itself every year, with different goalies in nearly every year, right? Are watching the same team?
inkman Posted October 2, 2010 Report Posted October 2, 2010 Weber, McCormick, Butler, Ellis, Gerbe, Sekera, Ennis, Enroth, Leggio. I've noticed you have included McCormick on all of these type posts. His one way deal gives him a 99.9% chance of making the squad. So why include him?
spndnchz Posted October 2, 2010 Report Posted October 2, 2010 I've noticed you have included McCormick on all of these type posts. His one way deal gives him a 99.9% chance of making the squad. So why include him? Ur right. I've included him just because he's semi-new.
spndnchz Posted October 2, 2010 Report Posted October 2, 2010 TJ Brennan? That's true, no mention of him staying or going. He looked pretty good though, not sure if he'd beat Shakira and Butts but IMO def better than Weber offensively. Update: he's gone 2 Leggio gone 2. That leaves: Weber, McCormick, Butler, Ellis, Gerbe, Sekera, Ennis, Enroth. That leaves all three D men until Rivet comes back as Lindy said he'll most likely use 8 d-men. Enroth until LaLijme gets better. Gerbe and Ennis still getting time in the pre-season to make the squad. Like Ink said, McCormick most likely on the roster already. I don't see Ellis over McCormick.

You have seem this repeat itself every year, with different goalies in nearly every year, right? Are watching the same team? The same team that continues to scrap the bottom of the backup goaltender barrel? Yes! Invest in a quality backup and a) Lindy will play him more and b) you will get better results.
Eleven Posted October 2, 2010 Report Posted October 2, 2010 I'm pretty sure that once he starts the season in juniors he can't be called until he is done with his junior competition. I got lazy and relied on an incorrect memory (I thought the Pens had pulled just such a move with Staal, but that's not what happened), rather than looking it up. This is too bad, then.

Invest in a quality backup and a) Lindy will play him more and b) you will get better results. Weren't all of the backups that were brought in considered "quality" before they got caught up in the goalie shredder known as Lindy Ruff?
spndnchz Posted October 2, 2010 Report Posted October 2, 2010 is there a link on this.... Just a culmination of various sources over the past few days. Lindy said today that Morrison and Myers are the opening pair for the season. 6'-4" and 6'-8" avarage weight of 220lbs. Nice- very nice. Also, Weber and Butler fighting for the last spot. Shakira shakira!!
inkman Posted October 2, 2010 Report Posted October 2, 2010 So does Leopold end up with Rivet or Monty?
