I wonder if anyone will remember him in ten years?

I won't remember him in ten days.

[Mustache of God]

A 4th line center / SHOOTOUT SPECIALIST who couldn't stay healthy? This will certainly hurt the team.

[Wyldnwoody44]

I'm crying over this

 

 

 

Said no one

[Sabre fan]

would much rather see anybody from Rochester (Bailey?) get a shot before re-signing aging vets...if we are going to lose I would rat6her do it with young guys like the Leafs did a few years back

[Sabel79]

Eh, I liked watching him skate.  I can't remember him doing anything else.

[Randall Flagg]

He was a slightly better 4C than Larsson in the 5 games he played completely healthy. 

Which means it fundamentally makes no difference whether he plays in Buffalo or on Mars next season

Best wishes to him.

If a tree falls in the forest and no one is there to hear it, does it even make a sound?

Botterill has made it clear that is at least part of his plan.

[DarthEbriate]

I loved the signing last offseason. Below the radar, cheap contract for a SO specalist with the wheels to play an aggressive forecheck. But he was never healthy. A fourth line of Bailey - Josefsson - Baptiste would be nice.

 

But, like the TIE Interceptor he was all speed with no shields. Good cannons for a shootout weren't enough to overcome his own inevitable encounter with destruction the injured list. Throw in the requirement for a transport/carrier because of a lack of hyperspace capability (meaning he couldn't carry his own line)... and we can find a better alternative.

Who?

[Taro T]

Shouldn't we have a yawn emoji?

[Weave]

Shouldn't we have a yawn emoji?

:yawn:

 

We used to.  It even says yawn gif in the pop up box.  Must have been disabled.

I fear he'll never be able to repeat that glorious 2014-2015 season when he put up 14 points in 58 games. 

 

His career looks like a model for Nylander based on evidence to date. Except the part about being a good 4th line grinder and shootout specialist because I don't think Alex is either of those.

You know, Alex is (was?) actually fantastic at shootouts.

Josefsson is a great comparable.

I wasn't aware of the shootout capability. 

Yeah, a smooth skating yet not all that fast Swede drafted in the 1st round who can't score for sh*t. Nailed it.
