Sabres Injury Updates

Wow.  Great news on Samuelsson.  

[Doohicksie]

Did Quinn finish the game in Boston?  I don't remember any injury.

If he can't go, do they bring up veteran depth (Sheahan) or replace him with the next prospect up (Bloom?  Weissbach?)

Bloom? 

He’s in the OHL.  
 

Biro, Rousek, Malone, Murray, Sheahan or Weissbach could be called up depending on need.  Biro is the Amerks top scorer ytd.

[Doohicksie]

Sorry, I was thinking of Biro.  Letters can be so hard sometimes.

I wouldn't mind getting a look at Rousek either.

I’d like to see Rousek as well. He has earned a shot.

I vote Linus Weissbach. He has the speed to play in the NHL.

He’s also the size of a dingleberry

Rousek has been there most noticeable prospect on the Amerks.  (I don’t really count Biro and Weissbach as I don’t see them as NHL players)

How has Kulich looked?

So, the Thanksgiving / end of November expectation for Samuelsson's return still looks realistic.

Will be really nice having him back in the lineup even if he gets eased back into it.  When he's back to being able to play 25 minutes/ game they only have to send the other 3 out 39-45 minutes total a night.  That'll make the depth back there look a ton better.

He has always impressed me in preseason i like this idea

My wife said not to worry about it and size doesn’t matter.

As @pi2000 pointed out, the team need Samuelsson back badly.

Improving every game.  Could be a late season call up.

I don't think we should be playing him 25 mins a game at this stage. Might even make injury more likely. 

25 is what I'd have him play in the playoffs, basically

Don't expect him getting 25 minutes when he comes back.  But he will be back to that relatively soon unless the 2nd & 3rd pairings play significantly better than they did prior to his injury.

This assumes Dahlin and Power are on the same pair, no?*

A situation that necessitates a rook playing 25 mins a game is an ill-advised situation to enter into willingly

*Edit - no it doesn't. Derp thorny. 

I don't think we'll need to limit the 2nd pair too thoroughly with Power on it, though

Not necessarily, no.

And, yes, was expecting at some point all of Dahlin, Power, & Samuelsson are getting 25 minutes a night in the tough games.

Samuelsson is 2 weeks away.
