shrader Posted September 30, 2014 Report Posted September 30, 2014 Weber will be in the NHL in 2015-16. He's always going to be a cheap option for a 6th/7th slot on the blueline. That will keep him in the league. Quote
SabresBillsFan Posted September 30, 2014 Report Posted September 30, 2014 Weber will be in the NHL in 2015-16. I agree their would be plenty of teams that would want him. I'm just not a fan of his game. If you are going to be a stay at home tough defenseman than don't be -30. Quote

If you are going to be a stay at home tough defenseman than don't be -30. Nobody wants him, he sucks. Stay at home tough defensemen who suck are a dime a dozen.... every organization has dozens of those guys in their system. There's a reason they're not in the NHL, except in Buffalo. Weber will be in the NHL in 2015-16. Doubt it. Quote

SabresBillsFan Posted September 30, 2014 Report Posted September 30, 2014 Lessons I learned in 2014: Having a baby is awesome The tank isn't fun to watch SabresBillsFan hates Mike Weber That's funny! I'm not a fan of the tank either but think it's necessary to complete it. Oh and you forgot to mention that I felt EJ Manual is a bust and look now he's benched- go figure. Quote

Oh and you forgot to mention that I felt EJ Manual is a bust and look now he's benched- go figure. Can a guy drafted a round or 2 too early in the middle of the first round be considered a bust? I think he's exactly where a lot of people thought he would be. Quote

I think he's exactly where a lot of people thought he would be. Come on you can't tell me that alot of people saw Buffalo taking EJ over Geno. Not saying Geno is good but I think they reached for EJ. And then you wonder why the Bills have had QB issues for how many years. It wasn't like the guy was this super great player out of college. Quote
Stoner Posted October 1, 2014 Report Posted October 1, 2014 Weber will be in the NHL in 2015-16. Yup. Terry likes 'im. Did you see the way that kid went after Crosby in Pittsburgh. And Weber's from the Burgh. That takes koolhoonays. Quote

And then you wonder why the Bills have had QB issues for how many years. It wasn't like the guy was this super great player out of college. Inkman is saying basically the same thing you are. He shouldn't have been drafted where he was. Therefore, how can he be a bust when he shouldn't have been there.? Bust labels are for guys with high expectations attached to them. Quote
shrader Posted October 1, 2014 Report Posted October 1, 2014 Will EJ keep a roster spot over Grigorenko? Quote
inkman Posted October 1, 2014 Report Posted October 1, 2014 Will EJ keep a roster spot over Grigorenko? EJ could use some time in the AHL, unfortunately he's not eligible. Quote
LastPommerFan Posted October 1, 2014 Report Posted October 1, 2014 EJ could use some time in the AHL, unfortunately he's not eligible. Naw, he's 24 and came from the NCAA, so he can go to the 'Merks. The problem is he signed his entry level at 22 and has played 70 NHL equivalent games, so he's have to clear waivers. I expect the panthers would pick him up as a gimmick to try and fill the stands withe a local boy on the roster. It sucks, but the CBA is what it is, I suppose. Quote
darksabre Posted October 1, 2014 Report Posted October 1, 2014 I just want to know how he compares to Kassian. Quote
LastPommerFan Posted October 1, 2014 Report Posted October 1, 2014 I just want to know how he compares to Kassian. Kassian stands taller in the pocket, but I think EJ does a better job finding time and space. Quote
Eleven Posted October 1, 2014 Report Posted October 1, 2014 Yup. Terry likes 'im. Did you see the way that kid went after Crosby in Pittsburgh. And Weber's from the Burgh. That takes koolhoonays. I didn't say he'd be a Sabre, and I doubt that he will be. Quote
I am Defecting Posted October 15, 2014 Report Posted October 15, 2014 i'm hoping own Buffalo doesn't have a problem with Russians, because ol' Yuri is an ethnic Ukranian. Quote
drnkirishone Posted October 15, 2014 Report Posted October 15, 2014 i'm hoping own Buffalo doesn't have a problem with Russians, because ol' Yuri is an ethnic Ukranian. i just hope that don't mean Putin needs to come invade the northeast to protect further russians...... if he does I am blaming you yuri Quote
dudacek Posted October 15, 2014 Report Posted October 15, 2014 Rumour is Putin's interested in oily shale deposits along the Niagara frontier. Quote

LGR4GM Posted October 15, 2014 Report Posted October 15, 2014 How is he doing in Rochester? His first game was quite good, his second game was a little lacking. He has some consistency issues but in general is doing much better than last year. Quote
bob_sauve28 Posted October 19, 2014 Author Report Posted October 19, 2014 First star yesterday http://www.sabresprospects.com/2014/10/cat-strikes-to-put-amerks-ahead.html Quote
LGR4GM Posted October 20, 2014 Report Posted October 20, 2014 Grigorenko does something very important on his goal which I think Sabres forwards forget to do. On offense if you want to receive a pass in the open you need to fade off the defender, an then magically you are wide open. Grigorenko should stay the entire year in Rochester. Maybe a call up for a few games to let him know he is doing well but outside of that, grow our little Russian enigma, grow. Quote
