spndnchz Posted July 2, 2012 Author Report Posted July 2, 2012 Chz, you misspelled "amerks." Regier says he sees him as a "NHL defenseman". fwiw
Taro T Posted July 2, 2012 Report Posted July 2, 2012 Regier says he sees him as a "NHL defenseman". fwiw IIRC, he also said Ales had a legitimate chance to make the team last year as well.
darksabre Posted July 2, 2012 Report Posted July 2, 2012 IIRC, he also said Ales had a legitimate chance to make the team last year as well. Yup. Lip service at best.
frissonic Posted July 2, 2012 Report Posted July 2, 2012 calder cup, here we come! baby steps, i guess.
spndnchz Posted July 2, 2012 Author Report Posted July 2, 2012 McNabb doesn't have to clear waivers to go up and down, just saying.
LGR4GM Posted July 2, 2012 Report Posted July 2, 2012 Darcy said McNabb will start in Rochester and that Pardy gives them some flexibility on def. I am thinking he starts in Buffalo.
TrueBlueGED Posted July 2, 2012 Report Posted July 2, 2012 Darcy said McNabb will start in Rochester and that Pardy gives them some flexibility on def. I am thinking he starts in Buffalo. I am thinking one or a few defensemen are on their way out.
LGR4GM Posted July 2, 2012 Report Posted July 2, 2012 I am thinking one or a few defensemen are on their way out. defenseman and something for Ryan maybe?
nobody Posted July 2, 2012 Report Posted July 2, 2012 Pardy paired up with Cory Sarich when he was in Calgary.
Robviously Posted July 3, 2012 Report Posted July 3, 2012 Are defense is getting a bit crowded now. It was crowded a week ago. Adding Scott and Pardy means the Sabres literally have to make a move (or two) before the season starts.
inkman Posted July 3, 2012 Report Posted July 3, 2012 It was crowded a week ago. Adding Scott and Pardy means the Sabres literally have to make a move (or two) before the season starts. Scott won't play D for Buffalo...probably ever,
Robviously Posted July 3, 2012 Report Posted July 3, 2012 Scott won't play D for Buffalo...probably ever, I sure as hell hope not. I hope he's on the fourth line occasionally punching people in the head.
nfreeman Posted July 3, 2012 Report Posted July 3, 2012 Chz, you misspelled "amerks." Very nice. IIRC, he also said Ales had a legitimate chance to make the team last year as well. This has the cold ring of truth. Darcy said McNabb will start in Rochester and that Pardy gives them some flexibility on def. I am thinking he starts in Buffalo. I am thinking one or a few defensemen are on their way out. It does seem like they have to trade someone, innit? Scott won't play D for Buffalo...probably ever, I sure as hell hope not. I hope he's on the fourth line occasionally punching people in the head. Outstanding.
Bullwinkle III Posted July 3, 2012 Report Posted July 3, 2012 I agree with all of the above. With Ott we don't need Scott. With Purdy we now have several Dmen available for trade. (McNabb not being one of them) I like the way this team is forming up...now we need a scoring winger - a good one.
RazielSabre Posted July 3, 2012 Report Posted July 3, 2012 I agree with all of the above. With Ott we don't need Scott. With Purdy we now have several Dmen available for trade. (McNabb not being one of them) I like the way this team is forming up...now we need a scoring winger - a good one. Myers, Ehrhoff, Regehr, Sulzer, Leopold, Sekera and Weber are probably our top 7, that leaves Pardy, McNabb and Brennan to complete for 8th. McNabb will probably start in Rochester as Regier says but that still leaves to many NHL calibur Dmen. I'd trade Leopold and Brennan, that makes Pardy 7th and McNabb 8th. I like Brennan but we just have to many defensemen now, its absurd. Myers-Ehrhoff Sekera-Sulzer Regehr-Weber Pardy
Sabres Fan in NS Posted July 3, 2012 Report Posted July 3, 2012 Pardy time I like. Who knows maybe he'll stick with the Sabres. At least he is a good option to have around. Maybe not just a throw-in / salary dump? If I heard correctly on the video that inky linked, he's from the tropical island of Newfoundland. That's a positive in my books.
inkman Posted July 3, 2012 Report Posted July 3, 2012 I agree with all of the above. With Ott we don't need Scott. I don't agree. John Scott is a heavy weight. Steve Ott is somewhere between McCormick and Kaleta. A Cruiserweight maybe? He's tough, but I'd rather have John Scott for guys like Thorton, Prust, Janssens, etc.
spndnchz Posted July 3, 2012 Author Report Posted July 3, 2012 A blogger from Dallas used words like: out of position a lot looks lost no offense liability if he's more than a 7/8 d-man for Pardy.
... Posted July 3, 2012 Report Posted July 3, 2012 Seems like the jury is still out on this guy. There is what chz found above, but I read the other day (can't recall where) he should do well in Lindy's system. Apparently he's a positional stay-at-home defenseman still developing and the writer thought that's the kind of D that does well in the Sabres' system.
nfreeman Posted July 3, 2012 Report Posted July 3, 2012 Does anyone know whether he's been injured during the past couple of years, or just a frequent healthy scratch? He only played 36 games last year and 30 the year before that. Assuming he was a healthy scratch for most of those non-played games, I'd guess DR had to take him back in the trade because Dallas wanted to unload his salary -- and that he'll be this year's Morrissonn -- ie sent down and available to the rest of the NHL via waivers.
