LabattBlue Posted June 11, 2015 Report Posted June 11, 2015 (edited) Haven't heard the clips yet, but these latest quotes are bugging me more than other times Murray has put his foot in his mouth. They have left the impression that: Reinhart and Zadarov already have spots in the lineup Grigorenko doesn't have a spot in the organization going forward Hodgson has close to zero value with the organization. Not sure how making any of that public helps the Sabres Not sure how Hamilton phrased the question...or should I say statement since he usually wants to come off as knowing more than the person he is interviewing, but it doesn't mean either of them won't be in Rochester come October. I don't see anything that says 100% they will be Sabres on opening night? What would you like them to say at this point..."Well he haven't had rookie camp, training camp, and any preseason games, but both of them will start the season in the AHL."?

X. Benedict Posted June 11, 2015 Report Posted June 11, 2015 Paul Hamilton spoke with Tim Murray and Bylsma. They said that they do not foresee Reinhart or Zadorov spending any time in Rochester. Also said that buying out Hodgson is a possibility. More Hamilton: Murray of course said Grigorenko will be qualified, but not sure where he fits in. He must pass through waivers to go to Rochester. Was there an audio bit? Quote
dudacek Posted June 11, 2015 Report Posted June 11, 2015 There is a write-up on the WGR site and more detail on a bunch of Twitter quotes. As usual, things sound better in context. Reinhart and Zadorov are expected to play in Buffalo given their development but Roch is there if needed. Bylsma said Zads has proven he can play in the NHL. Murray said knowing he can be sent down should stop him from coming to camp at 240. Reading between the lines, Coho has been asked to do certain things to avoid a buyout and so far is doing it. With grigorenko, he's just acknowledging the waiver situation makes it tough to slot him given he may not be NHL ready. Quote
LGR4GM Posted June 11, 2015 Report Posted June 11, 2015 Cody Hodgson will need to overcome Cy Hgsn and be the player he can be. Quote
sabresith Posted June 11, 2015 Report Posted June 11, 2015 (edited) I guess I'm on the opposite side of the fence than you guys. I'm on board with everything GMTM and DDB said. I think Zads has proven himself capable of top four minutes. IMO his failures last year are due in large part to Ted Nolan's lack of a system and some immaturity of youth. Honestly he needs to be in DDB' s system day one. Once again with a defined role with the team. I see no reason Samson should be in the roc this year. His ppg average in the ahl at the end of the year should be proof enough. Really I think it would stunt his growth more than help it. While on the topic of stunting growth, can we stop with lets put Samson on the wing stuff. The only time I want him on the wing is when he is playing the Stamkos power play way, but with him feeding passes instead of one timers. Really the center I want playing wing is Zemgus. So in that case my top two lines would look like this Kane Eichel Ennis Moulson Reinhart Zemgus To me this year is about nothing but development!!! Edited June 11, 2015 by sabresith Quote

McKenzie also believes Hodgson will be bought out. Start at the 6:40 minute mark http://www.tsn.ca/radio/toronto-1050/mckenzie-cody-hodgson-likely-to-be-bought-out-by-sabres-1.305827 Quote
Huckleberry Posted June 12, 2015 Report Posted June 12, 2015 (edited) Grigorenko will suprise you all next season. 20 goals 30 assists :D Edited June 12, 2015 by Heimdall Quote
LGR4GM Posted June 12, 2015 Report Posted June 12, 2015 I heard a rumor that Zadorov is getting married and Grigorenko is attending the wedding. Quote
qwksndmonster Posted June 12, 2015 Report Posted June 12, 2015 I heard a rumor that Zadorov is getting married and Grigorenko is attending the wedding. Yikes. Quote
LGR4GM Posted June 12, 2015 Report Posted June 12, 2015 Yikes. is gf is a 20yr old Russian model. Quote
inkman Posted June 12, 2015 Report Posted June 12, 2015 is gf is a 20yr old Russian model. Yes we've all seen the beach photos. A professional athletes getting married at 20 is outside of my realm of understanding. Quote
LGR4GM Posted June 12, 2015 Report Posted June 12, 2015 Yes we've all seen the beach photos. A professional athletes getting married at 20 is outside of my realm of understanding. Anyone getting married at 20 is beyond my realm of understanding but I am also a jaded curmudgeon. Quote
LabattBlue Posted June 12, 2015 Report Posted June 12, 2015 Yes we've all seen the beach photos. A professional athletes getting married at 20 is outside of my realm of understanding. Absolutely 100% agree. Puck bunnies in every city, and you want to settle down at the ripe old age of 20? On a related note...especially if said girlfriend/fiancee' is from Russia, who in turn gets homesick, wants to go back home, and convinces hubby that the KHL isn't all that bad. :angry: Quote
... Posted June 12, 2015 Report Posted June 12, 2015 You get married at that young an age for one of two reasons: puppy love or pregnancy. Quote
WildCard Posted June 12, 2015 Report Posted June 12, 2015 You get married at that young an age for one of two reasons: puppy love or pregnancy. Or they're religious and need to get married for pregnancy to happen Quote
qwksndmonster Posted June 12, 2015 Report Posted June 12, 2015 Or they're religious and need to get married for pregnancy to happen Ah, yes. The best form of birth control becomes the worst reason to get married. I hope this really is just a rumor. Who'd you hear it from, Liger? Quote
inkman Posted June 12, 2015 Report Posted June 12, 2015 Ah, yes. The best form of birth control becomes the worst reason to get married. I hope this really is just a rumor. Who'd you hear it from, Liger? My internet skills blow, just look up Grigs on Facebook or Twitter. He's been posting about it. Quote
shrader Posted June 12, 2015 Report Posted June 12, 2015 I heard a rumor that Zadorov is getting married and Grigorenko is attending the wedding. It's no rumor. I saw a picture on facebook the other day posted by Grigorenko, mentioning being there for the wedding. I have no idea why it showed up in my feed, but it did. Quote
GrassValleyGreg Posted June 13, 2015 Report Posted June 13, 2015 Also in the Russian news department, from Bob McKenzie, the Sabres are waiting to see if there is any validity to "speculation that soon-to-be restricted free agent Mikhail Grigorenko is signing a contract in the KHL." Quote

Wouldn't be shocked, but I would be hugely disappointed. Quote
Brawndo Posted June 13, 2015 Report Posted June 13, 2015 Would the Sabres hold his rights in the NHL if he returned? If so this might benefit the Sabres, he doesn't belong up here and he probably wouldn't clear waivers to Rochester. Quote
tom webster Posted June 13, 2015 Report Posted June 13, 2015 Wouldn't be shocked, but I would be hugely disappointed. Might be best thing. He wasn't going to make Sabres and didn't want to go to Rochester so let him go to Russia and work on his game. Quote
Hoss Posted June 13, 2015 Report Posted June 13, 2015 Would the Sabres hold his rights in the NHL if he returned? If so this might benefit the Sabres, he doesn't belong up here and he probably wouldn't clear waivers to Rochester. Yes, they would still own his rights. And no, it would never benefit them to have an asset walk to the KHL. Quote
tom webster Posted June 13, 2015 Report Posted June 13, 2015 Yes, they would still own his rights. And no, it would never benefit them to have an asset walk to the KHL. He has close to zero value right now. Lighting up the KHL would add to his value although my guess is it's good riddance and one less contract to worry about Quote
Hoss Posted June 13, 2015 Report Posted June 13, 2015 He has close to zero value right now. Lighting up the KHL would add to his value although my guess is it's good riddance and one less contract to worry about Completely disagree that he has "close to zero value." He's not going to be the centerpiece of an important deal, but he was still the 12th overall pick just a few years ago and is 21 years old. He had a good year in Rochester and has great size. He could easily be a piece to a larger deal... Quote
