Taro T Posted November 10, 2014 Report Posted November 10, 2014 Q to Inky and any others that have been watching the 'merks. Do you think that Carrier could, in a couple of seasons, be a legit #2 LW at the NHL level? If yes, would you expect the CGA line reunited in the NHL either next year or the year after? The reason for the Q. If he can, the Sabres might have 2 good/reasonably good scoring lines in '16-'17: Moulson - Eichel (fingers crossed) - Reinhart Carrier - Grigorenko - Armia. Quote
qwksndmonster Posted November 10, 2014 Report Posted November 10, 2014 Drool. Even if it's not Carrier and Armia on our second line it could easily be Bailey, Baptiste, Hurley, Compher, or one of our other prospects that develops. Fasching, too. Quote

I have been watching a lot of Amerks and NCAA hockey this year, and I absolutely love the Carrier-Grigorenko-Armia line and hope they stay together all year. As for Fasching, I love the kid's game, especially if he can get a little bit of a meanstreak. (He's always in the right spot too.) I don't understand how people cannot see how bright the future is...even if only half these kids develop, that's a full team. Lol. I don't think Moulson lasts here that long either, next year might be his last once the kids develop...or a younger player is traded for. Edited November 10, 2014 by Bob Malooga Quote
Hoss Posted November 11, 2014 Report Posted November 11, 2014 Why do they keep putting Lieuwen out there? Based on his stats and what I've read he has struggled. Meanwhile Makarov has been solid at worst. Quote
3putt Posted November 11, 2014 Report Posted November 11, 2014 Can someone familiar with AHL roster rules enlighten me regarding late season additions? Do they get roster exemptions for junior players whose seasons have ended to join the roster or do they have to cut or waive players? I assume they must be under an ELC. Much appreciated. Quote

Must be under ELC, yes. Not sure if they get roster exemptions. Quote
3putt Posted November 11, 2014 Report Posted November 11, 2014 So the idea that Reinhart, Bailey, Baptiste and Lemieux joining the Amerks for the playoffs could be a bit of a stretch? Quote
Hoss Posted November 11, 2014 Report Posted November 11, 2014 So the idea that Reinhart, Bailey, Baptiste and Lemieux joining the Amerks for the playoffs could be a bit of a stretch? I don't believe it's a stretch as long as their playoff seasons end at a reasonable time for them to get adjusted to the lineup. Quote
kas23 Posted November 11, 2014 Report Posted November 11, 2014 So the idea that Reinhart, Bailey, Baptiste and Lemieux joining the Amerks for the playoffs could be a bit of a stretch? You mean being a stretch because they would all need ELCs? They all have them except for Lemieux. But I can see how it would be crowded. Quote

inkman Posted November 11, 2014 Report Posted November 11, 2014 So the idea that Reinhart, Bailey, Baptiste and Lemieux joining the Amerks for the playoffs could be a bit of a stretch? Watching the Merks the last 30 years, it's rare for a kid to come into the lineup after junior or college and have an impact. The college kids seem to have better success though, rudy and Flynn being good examples. The logjam is what seems problematic. It's not and it won't be. Any spots that need to be opened up will when the time is right. Quote

Although it'll be awhile before we know if Murray really knows what he's doing, damn am I pulling for him (and not just for the Sabres to be good). I simply cannot imagine going back to a normal GM :lol: Quote

inkman Posted November 11, 2014 Report Posted November 11, 2014 Akim Aliu cut... Sent to Elmira or just gone... What's your source? Don't see it anywhere. Quote
Hoss Posted November 11, 2014 Report Posted November 11, 2014 Sent to Elmira or just gone... What's your source? Don't see it anywhere. Released from his tryout. Per Rochester media (Rob Sanderson) Quote
LTS Posted November 12, 2014 Report Posted November 12, 2014 Akim Aliu cut... Perhaps because he earned a stupid 10 minute misconduct penalty on Saturday night? I still have no idea what it was for but he must have said something to the ref while the ref was calling a penalty against Samuels-Thomas. No clue. Quote

I still have no idea what it was for but he must have said something to the ref while the ref was calling a penalty against Samuels-Thomas. No clue. Or three straight icing calls during the last 90 seconds of Game they were trying to put away. That screams selfish player all day. He was trying to score empty net goals to pad his stats vs help the team win. Edited November 12, 2014 by inkman Quote
