Sabres trade Luke Adam to Columbus for Jerry D'Amigo

[wjag]

@BuffaloSabres: TRADE ALERT: The #Sabres have acquired forward Jerry D'Amigo from @BlueJacketsNHL in exchange for Luke Adam.

 

Pure AHL trade:

 

@BuffaloSabres: #Sabres GM Tim Murray: “Jerry brings a tremendous work ethic to our organization and we know he’ll have an immediate impact with the Amerks"

 

Who and who?

[Hoss]

Or maybe he'll get a callup eventually

 

Maybe. But it's pretty unlikely that they're going to ship somebody off to make room for him. D'Amigo has pretty much proven that he's nothing more than an AHL player to this point. The fact that Columbus has been destroyed by injuries and he never got a call should be a sign of where he's at.

 

Haven't seen his stats mentioned yet: he currently has 3 goals and 4 assists in 7 AHL games.

[Johnny DangerFace]

I doubt it to, but you never know if he steps his game up a little. He has 4th line talent perhaps. I do think schaller and larsson deserve the chance at bottom six roles first

[Doohicksie]

He calls a good line.

 

Yes. Yes he did.

 

[FLYNNSanity]

To be honest im kinda going to miss luker

[ubkev]

 

 

They're getting somebody who is emotional about what he does. So much so that he's feeling a "world wind" of emotions...

 

@LukeJAdam: World wind of emotions right now. Beyond excited for fresh start with @BlueJacketsNHL organization! Thankful for the new opportunity and

 

At least he didn't start waxing poetic about Nelson Mandela and his leadership on and off the ice.

[Huckleberry]

I think we all know the turning point of Luker's career as a Sabre.

 

WARNING: Severe violence from 1:20 onward.

Kassian never leard that lessons, excample sam gagner.

 

Adam wasn't going to hang around after this season anyways, switching career AHL players.

[Eleven]

Finally, Luke will get the therapy that he needs.

 

Who the hell is Jerry D'Amigo?

 

I wish him well in Rochester. I don't think this was an acquisition for the big club, but I could be wrong.

Oh.

 

My.

[Two or less]

D'Amigo is one of the fastest skaters at the AHL level. It's good to see Murray add some pace to that lineup.

[PotentPowerPlay22]

This is a minor move. Nothing to get too excited about to be honest. The fact is Luke Adam wasn't going to make the NHL in Buffalo. I have no problem with this deal, but the real deals will happen later in the season.

[nobody]

I'm going to guess that Luke gets called up to the BJs before D'Amigo gets called up to the Sabres.

The bigger question...was Adam a negative influence in Rochester and since he had no future with the Sabres, why not send him packing for an AHL'er who can help the Amerks win, and be a positive influence on the youngsters.

[LTS]

What the hell will Amerks fans do now that they can't yell out "Good job Puke!" all the time?

 

I remember D'Amigo from WJHC.. I think. He's tenacious. He's a young Matt Ellis probably. So... there you go.

I've only really seen much of D'Amigo from the Junior Worlds. Really liked him then.

I'm embarrassed for anyone who spewed such unoriginal garbage

It's like the guy who brings the cutout D and fence to a football game.

Hey.. it's better than the guy who sat behind me at the last game. Two hooking penalties called and he yells out "Hey, we got a hooker on the ice!"

 

Sigh.

Sigh.

Was it a five year old? That's about the only excuse. One guy in my old section would yell " more passing" sarcastically every PP. I go into it with him a few times when they would shoot, get blocked and lead to a shorty. Then he'd tell me they need to take better shots, oh you mean they need to pass more to create those better shots right. :wallbash:

[.55.]

I'm going to guess that Luke gets called up to the BJs before D'Amigo gets called up to the Sabres.

I'd bet 25 cents against that, though I doubt either guy sees nhl ice.

I'll take your quarter.

This was Blockbuster.

 

They closed.

Sigh.. more like 65. I love how unrealistic fans are...

At least he was more creative than the "Shoot It!" guy. That's gotta count for something right?
