Robviously Posted March 6, 2012 Report Posted March 6, 2012 That's the thing that urks me a bit. They knew Drew was leaving, they knew Mike Ryan was done for the year. Why didn't DR go get some bodies? Are they betting juniors and college guys come over after their seasons are done? I dunno... Sundher, Pysyk, and Gautier-Leduc are all signed already. But I know the first two are on teams expecting to make playoff runs in the WHL so it's not clear when they'd actually be able to join Rochester.
nobody Posted March 8, 2012 Report Posted March 8, 2012 Didn't Darcy mention in one of his chats about looking at FA college players? So they would need some room. How many available spots do the Sabres have in their organization currently?
spndnchz Posted March 10, 2012 Report Posted March 10, 2012 Nice moves by Adam in 3-1 Amerks win last night.
Guest Posted March 10, 2012 Report Posted March 10, 2012 Nice moves by Adam in 3-1 Amerks win last night. http://youtu.be/1sQv9M8Aq8g Lol, I bet the goalie wants that one back. It kinda looks like Adam lost the puck and it trickled through. He did look like a man against boys out there on that possession.
nobody Posted March 10, 2012 Report Posted March 10, 2012 I hope the Sabres have hired a faceoff coach to teach the young guys. If Gaustad doesn't come back next season then Adam really could have a decent career if he learns how to win faceoffs.
Marvelo Posted March 10, 2012 Report Posted March 10, 2012 nice goal by Adam. Maybe it'll help boost the confidence.
inkman Posted March 11, 2012 Report Posted March 11, 2012 Amerks with a 6-1 pounding of the mini Sens. No Amerk really stood out as everyone got involved. The Sens had 5 SOG through 2 periods. They were bad. Watched the Sabres game after(DVR), Harry mentioned 6 of the Ottawa players were on binghamton last year. Guess they didn't get suitable replacements. If Ellis is out and Vanek doesn't come back for the next game, I hope they give Travis Turnbull a shot. He's like a combo of Scott Nichol and Patty Kaleta. Phil Varone might get the nod as he leads the team in scoring but I'm not sure if he has a contract with the Sabres.
Jsixspd Posted March 11, 2012 Report Posted March 11, 2012 Greatest thing Terry Pegula has done so far is hook the Amerks back up with the Sabres. That's a big boost for both towns.
inkman Posted March 11, 2012 Report Posted March 11, 2012 Greatest thing Terry Pegula has done so far is hook the Amerks back up with the Sabres. That's a big boost for both towns. One would think but some posters on an Amerks forum claim it's the worst thing to ever happen to the franchise.
Randall Flagg Posted March 11, 2012 Report Posted March 11, 2012 One would think but some posters on an Amerks forum claim it's the worst thing to ever happen to the franchise. What is their reasoning?
inkman Posted March 11, 2012 Report Posted March 11, 2012 What is their reasoning? Darcy doesn't do enough for the Amerks. Apparently there is no one dedicated to just amerks players, aka a GM like Gage was in their previous affiliation. I can see their point but I think this year was a bit of an anomaly due to the injuries. I'm not sure how many moves could have been made.

LabattBlue Posted March 11, 2012 Author Report Posted March 11, 2012 Those people can have Florida back if they really want. Exactly. Any Amerks fan who doesn't like being part of the Pegula regime aka $$$, has their head in the sand.
Eleven Posted March 11, 2012 Report Posted March 11, 2012 Drew Schiestel sent to the Texas Stars. Gets rid of a contract. Now we have space to claim Turco off re-entry waivers. Wow. I didn't expect that. Less than a year ago, he was golfing with Brennan, right in front of me. Now he's in a third-tier league. He must have watched me golf, and thought I was the example.
shrader Posted March 12, 2012 Report Posted March 12, 2012 Wow. I didn't expect that. Less than a year ago, he was golfing with Brennan, right in front of me. Now he's in a third-tier league. The Texas Stars are in the AHL. Yeah, I had to look at first too.
LabattBlue Posted March 12, 2012 Author Report Posted March 12, 2012 In the 3 games since Schiestel joined Texas, he has 3 assists and is a +2. Just sayin.
Eleven Posted March 12, 2012 Report Posted March 12, 2012 The Texas Stars are in the AHL. Yeah, I had to look at first too. How does that work? Is he still under contract with Buffalo?
tom webster Posted March 12, 2012 Report Posted March 12, 2012 How does that work? Is he still under contract with Buffalo? Yep although he is a RFA at end of season.
shrader Posted March 12, 2012 Report Posted March 12, 2012 How does that work? Is he still under contract with Buffalo? Yes. He's just loaned to a different team. It happens from time to time. Just last year Nathan Paetsch and Andrew Peters were briefly with Rochester even though they were both under contract with Vancouver.
Robviously Posted March 12, 2012 Report Posted March 12, 2012 In the 3 games since Schiestel joined Texas, he has 3 assists and is a +2. Just sayin. A fresh start with a change of scenery really helps sometimes. And not just in hockey.
inkman Posted March 12, 2012 Report Posted March 12, 2012 In the 3 games since Schiestel joined Texas, he has 3 assists and is a +2. Just sayin. The Amerks posters are going to go apeshit.

Just last year Nathan Paetsch and Andrew Peters were briefly with Rochester even though they were both under contract with Vancouver. Even when he plays for Rochester, if he's under contract with Buffalo, he's being loaned to the Amerks.
Taro T Posted March 13, 2012 Report Posted March 13, 2012 The Amerks posters are going to go apeshit. As long as they're the same dinks that think a Buffalo - Ra-cha-cha affiliation is a bad thing, I'm cool with it. My how soon some forget the wonder that is FLA. :doh:

Taro T Posted March 13, 2012 Report Posted March 13, 2012 Taro..er..Dave, These posters claim it was BETTER under the panthers. How many ###### kids does Donner the Hutt have anyhow? Because only a relative of his could attempt with a straight face to make an argument that being the Panthers' affiliate is better than being just about any other team's affiliate without having ridden the short bus to school for 12-15 years.
