Let's get Bogo back to replace him.

If only

 

The good news is, Col looked more than capable of replacing Weber last night. The bad news is, an already thin blue-line just got thinner

If they're not calling anyone up it might mean that Bogo is, in fact, very close to playing.

That would be great.

 

It also could mean that they'd rather use Deslauriers on D & give Schaller ice time up front in an emergency rather than making a Ra-cha-cha team that's won a few lately play minus another D-man that'll just sit in the Sabres' pressbox barring emergency.

Could be Deslauriers too.  Yet another reason I love that guy.  So versatile.

Yep. He's the sort of player you love to have in a supporting role. A very good pick up.

I'll say it.  I don't want to see Des on defense.  As far as I am concerned, he's an emergency guy.  he wasn't going to develop into an NHL D man, hence the switch to LW.

Which is pretty much what we said.

From what I read lately I presumed he would be ready after the florida games.

I got that impression too, but I also had the impression he was close before and he always seems to have a setback or relapse or bender or whatever.

I can't find the video but there was a presser with Bylsma from right around the start of the season where a reported asked him if there was a possibility we'd ever see D-LO brought in to play defense if they needed him to and the coach's reaction was an emphatic "no".

I'm not convinced that he'll be back before Kane...last update we have from DB is “He’s doing well, on progression, building a foundation. There is a date when you will see him. Eventually, you will see it come to fruition.” which, to me, sounds vague. "There is a date when you will see him" could mean anything.

 

edit: my stance on him not being back before Kane is MOSTLY sarcasm.

You're probably right of course, but in a pinch I could see Des get some shifts on D.  If a D goes down in practice, they play Schaller in Des's spot and Deslauriers plays D.

Agree. Sounds vague to me too. Not even just vague, but intentionally so. But a few days have passed since then and maybe Bogo is pulling it together.

Well it's shifted to "maybe."

The team will not call up a defenseman for Thursday’s game. Bylsma said they can use Nick Deslauriers in an emergency.

I like Weber, always have.  He is mean.

 

Maybe, just maybe, there isn't a place for him anymore.

 

That's right where I am.  I just checked.... he's only 27?
