What happens to #29

[Eleven]

Inspired by some discussion between Peters and Biron this morning.  One of those off-season, just for fun things.  What do you think will happen?

[WildCard]

Pommers won't rock the boat. New era, new core, new number for the population. 

[Derrico]

I caught the very tail end of this interview and Petie went to commercial break saying new number?  new jersey?  new C?  I almost puked.  Love what he did before but I don't want an A on this guy let alone a C.

Yeah I don't see Pominville being a prima Donna about it either.

He must have been (1) joking or (2) referring to the fact that two of those things are certain to happen (there will be a new jersey and there will be a new C) and the third might also happen.  No way that even that cementhead thinks Pommer is going to be the captain.

You must not be a regular listener of this show.

Pommers is a pro.  He knows he isn't part of this teams future, not really anyway.

 

I predict a number 92 will be in the Sabres opening night lineup.

What if Nylander wants 92?

[Doohicksie]

Pomminstein takes number 62.  Then we sign Vanek who is relegated to 53.

I don't think that Nylander will be on the Sabres roster on opening night.  Also, Nylander just hasn't earned anything except a Rip 'special' thus far.

I think Pommer would stay away from Nylander's dad's number in case Nylander wanted it, I guess, is what I'm saying.

That's certainly very possible.

[shrader]

I'd love to see McCabe wind up in a more traditional 1 digit defenseman number.

[MattPie]

I can't believe there's not an option for "Pominville takes the octal representation of 29, #35. (Ullmark be damned)".

[dudacek]

3 Antipin

5 Scandella

6 Beaulieu

19 McCabe

[woods-racer]

The number fetish is strong with this group. :P

 

Still and always will be ZFG about who gets what number, just play well.

[Randall Flagg]

I have to think Scandella would bring #6 with him, no? Wasn't Beaulieu 27, and isn't it open?

Yep.

[Huckleberry]

Wish a player would take #1.   

[ubkev]

Wish a player would take #1.

Goalie number. A player would look goofy in 1 and 30. My opinion, of course.

[thewookie1]

I think he buys McCabe a dinner and gets 29 back, McCabe takes 19, and Scandella takes 6

[darksabre]

I think he wears 50

[LTS]

I think McCabe offers it to him and he declines.  Pommers takes 17.

[pi2000]

I think McCabe offers it to him and he declines. Pommers takes 17.

Rip gives him #62 until he makes the team after camp... and then he gets #58.

[Claude Balls]

Maybe McCabe will say if you want 29, come take it from me. Pommers happily agrees to a new #, say Marty's first number with the Sabres of 00. Or he could opt for the rarely used 69.
