Randall Flagg Posted October 6, 2018 Report Posted October 6, 2018 "“I had a really good summer and I feel I had a really good camp, but now I have to build off of that, get better here every day and play as good as I can and maybe be the first one they call up,’’ said Nylander, who leads the Amerks against the Charlotte Checkers in their American Hockey League season opener Friday night at 7:05 at Blue Cross Arena." https://amp.democratandchronicle.com/amp/1522981002?__twitter_impression=true Good stuff to read there from/about Alex Nylander 1 Quote

It’s simply dumb. Why put a new player who doesn’t drive offense with your scoring rookie center? Why is Erod, one of our best drivers of offense last season while playing LW, center the 4th line? Move Girgensons back to centering the 4th line. Put Elie on his LW. Move ERod to Jack’s wing. Pit the vetean Skinner with Casey and let Sheary skate with Berglund.

Hoss Posted October 12, 2018 Report Posted October 12, 2018 Lines today at practice were: Sheary-Eichel-Reinhart Skinner-Mittelstadt-Okposo Sobotka-Berglund-Thompson Elie-Rodrigues-Pominville Scandella-Risto McCabe-Dahlin Bealieau-Nelson Housley mentioned that it was a very good day for Bogosian and that he’s traveling with the team. My guess is he is in within the next two games. I do want to see Pilut and Bogosian slotting in and Bealieau/Nelson out. I’d also like to see CJ Smith and Nylander up but not sure who is getting meaningful minutes they could replace. Quote

And five good ones 1) Bailey and Baptiste are regularly in the lineup all year long, supplying good speed on the forechecking and combining for 25 goals and 50 points. 2) A remarkably steady Hutton gives the Sabres a chance to win every game. 3) Zach Bogosian and Kyle Okposo produce like their 2016 versions. 4) Vladimir Sobotka gives the Sabres a genuine 3rd line centre 5) Sam Reinhart plays all 82 games the way he played the last 40 last year. And a bonus: Alex Nylander lights it up in Rochester and get called up after Christmas. Expand Would take that Just wondering if Botts is planning on doing what he done with Pittsburgh regarding pilut and nylander. Will we see them in buffalo in a month or so?? Sure he done similar with sheary and guentzel?? Quote

Expand At this point, it has to be Olofsson and CJ as the first call ups, they play a 200 foot game, Nylander isn't far off and when he puts his mind to it he is a force. Not sure who on D. Borgen needs time, but is nasty... Ghule has to many brain farts and needs to work on passing, Pilut is a great skater, but needs to add some weight, gets blown up to often in his own end. The rest of them meh. Cornell hustles all game and could be a decent 3rd 4th line guy. Kills penalties and throws his body around. Quote

Randall Flagg Posted October 17, 2018 Report Posted October 17, 2018 (edited) Take every word dark, Taro, TAS, Hoss and others have said in the Bills thread about their worries concerning McBeane and the QB situation for this season, even accounting for the fact that it was always going to be a tough/growing season. Every single word and possible nuance you could add to the situation to fully see it from all points of view, with the same ultimate conclusions.

A lot of that probably has to do with the luck of Dahlin but overall he’s done a nice job transitioning from last year to this year. The added talent should eventually produce more. If it doesn’t it falls more on Housley for me because in no realm is Jeff Skinner not a damn good player. Same for Dahlin. Berglund and Sobotka are still definite improvements to the bottom six and, so far, Hutton looks like an upgrade. O’Reilly is the only useful subtracted talent. Thompson and Hutton failing could be knocks against Botterill as could the lack of changes on defense if it doesn’t improve some more/Pilut or others in Rochester don’t come in and help. Quote
