Samson's Flow Posted December 31, 2018 Report Posted December 31, 2018 Finally! Hopefully he provides some scoring punch to help the middle 6 lines and keep us from being a 1 line team. Who do we think loses playing time as a result? Quote
R_Dudley Posted December 31, 2018 Report Posted December 31, 2018 Yes finally. I would have liked him to have practiced with the team before his first game. I don't understand the last minute call up since this has been an obvious need for some time. I just hope he is given enough of a chance to find the best combinations for that 2nd line Quote

pastajoe Posted December 31, 2018 Report Posted December 31, 2018 Housley will sit him unless someone gets injured in warmup. Quote

Maybe he gets in over Ellie, but I think you're most likely right. he's a warm body in case someone can't go, hence the last minute call up. Quote

Gatorman0519 Posted December 31, 2018 Report Posted December 31, 2018 Wow come to think about it we have no center depth. Center needs to be a priority in the draft. Quote

Center needs to be the priority in trade talks. Otherwise we're looking at center depth in 3-5 years. Hopefully Casey has it turned around before then..... 3 Quote

What a hot mess that would be. Exact opposite for me. Very interested to find out what kind of a team shows up without their captain. Maybe I don't want to know. 2 Quote
nfreeman Posted December 31, 2018 Report Posted December 31, 2018 It seems most likely that Elie will sit for CJ, which is fine, although I'd be perfectly happy sitting any of Sheary, Mitts, KO or Pommer, and I could be easily talked into sitting ERod or TT. 1 Quote

Which, when combined with Larsson & Okposo makes for arguably the 2nd line. Hope Eichel can play tonight. Quote

Almost like rookies don't all come in at a young age and light up the league. 3 Quote
Huckleberry Posted December 31, 2018 Report Posted December 31, 2018 Anyone interested in Duchene as 2C next year ? Quote

He's got alot of growing as a player to do, and before he gets there we need another center. Quote

He's been one of the best bottom 6ers for us, along with Larry. 1 minute ago, GASabresIUFAN said: I thought that was ROR. They're both cancerous. Quote
Sabres Fan in NS Posted December 31, 2018 Report Posted December 31, 2018 Is it just me, or does he look about 14 years old? Quote
