spndnchz Posted January 30, 2018 Report Posted January 30, 2018 Yet another reason why I think it was a big mistake not bringing back Gionta. He signed a PTO in Roch, he’s going to play Friday as a warm up before the Olympics. Quote
Sabres Fan in NS Posted January 30, 2018 Report Posted January 30, 2018 He signed a PTO in Roch, he’s going to play Friday as a warm up before the Olympics. Yeah, good for him, but I mean the Sabres should have signed him to play in Buffalo this season. Quote
Brawndo Posted January 30, 2018 Report Posted January 30, 2018 Why? Needs time to adjust to North American Ice. Also despite his four years of Pro Hockey, I expect Botterill to follow his preferred development path with players and have them start in the AHL. Plus Kris Baker of Sabres Prospects who watches more of his games then anyone has tweeted out that he is not ready for the Sabres and would start in Rochester Quote
inkman Posted January 30, 2018 Report Posted January 30, 2018 Yeah, good for him, but I mean the Sabres should have signed him to play in Buffalo this season. Eh I think there is a reason he's not in the NHL right now. Quote
GASabresIUFAN Posted January 31, 2018 Author Report Posted January 31, 2018 Eh I think there is a reason he's not in the NHL right now. A contract in Sweden, which end this off-season. Quote
Kruppstahl Posted January 31, 2018 Report Posted January 31, 2018 We need more primary scoring before we need to worry about secondary scoring. We also need lots of other stuff. Quote
pi2000 Posted January 31, 2018 Report Posted January 31, 2018 Ahkchually, rhey need tertiary and quaternary scoring. Quote
LGR4GM Posted January 31, 2018 Report Posted January 31, 2018 Eh I think there is a reason he's not in the NHL right now. Gionta, yes. A contract in Sweden, which end this off-season. Olofsson, yes. He had this year left on his contract. Quote
jsb Posted January 31, 2018 Report Posted January 31, 2018 Yeah, good for him, but I mean the Sabres should have signed him to play in Buffalo this season. I wonder if he also took a hit for the lockeroom becoming a mess at the end of last year with him being the captain of the ship. They may have also moved on because of the addition of Pommy. Quote
Doohicksie Posted January 31, 2018 Report Posted January 31, 2018 I wonder if he also took a hit for the lockeroom becoming a mess at the end of last year with him being the captain of the ship. They may have also moved on because of the addition of Pommy. Yes to both. Quote
inkman Posted January 31, 2018 Report Posted January 31, 2018 Gionta, yes. Olofsson, yes. He had this year left on his contract. Yeah I was going to clarify that GA was referencing the Swede while I was discussing Gionta but it didn't seem worth the time. Quote
