JustOneParade Posted January 26 Report Posted January 26 Is the any part of your (no one in particular) imagination where you can see the Sabres involved in a line brawl? Good on the Amerks. 2 Quote
DarthEbriate Posted January 26 Report Posted January 26 11 hours ago, inkman said: Looks like the Amerks were out for blood since this occurred in November The AHL only suspended Harpur for 4 games for that. That should've been 1/4 of the season. Harpur wasn't dressed in last night's game, but the Amerks took care of business for and Sandstrom got a pretty comfortable win. 1 hour ago, JustOneParade said: Is the any part of your (no one in particular) imagination where you can see the Sabres involved in a line brawl? Good on the Amerks. If Zucker, Benson, Kozak or Aube-Kubel, Dahlin, and Clifton were on the ice, yes. But probably only that combination. Maybe Byram. Quote
Flashsabre Posted January 26 Report Posted January 26 (edited) Rosen and Kulich have tremendous chemistry. Like to see him get a shot in Buffalo with Kulich or be used as a piece in a big deal. Sabres have so many young forwards a couple need to be cashed in for major pieces. Edited January 26 by Flashsabre 1 1 Quote
JoeSchmoe Posted January 26 Report Posted January 26 Trade him (or package him) while he's hot for an established veteran. A slightly younger Zucker type player would have helped this team a lot this year. Quote

For me, I see an undersized 22 year old that's behind Quinn and Peterka AHL level production when they were younger. If we did have a roster spot for a guy like him, he's not going to be good enough to help us make the playoffs for at least 2 or 3 more years. Trade him for a vet that can help us now. 1 Quote

What value does a guy whose stock is significantly lower have? Quote

I think that's serviceable 3rd liner type production considering he's had 2 minutes total PP time. Quote

I have no problem with McLeod, put EEE-sock Rosanne in “package” that everyone loves to theorize, is the equivalent of adding a 2nd round pick. Quote

I don’t think he is close to a write-off. He’s pretty much what you want in a 3rd line centre. Quote

This franchise can confuse and confound the smartest of PhD's. (Not really accusing anyone of this, actually, just trying to make a joke and comment on this sad franchise...) Quote

Nice to see him succeeding. Wasn't sure what was going to happen to him down there without Kulich, was kind of a sink or swim situation without him. But it appears it has forced him be more aggressive offensively rather than always deferring to his good buddy. Shows some versatility in his game, can be an assist guy or can score the goals if need be. A bunch of his points have been on the powerplay... could be a decent boost in that regard. It's worth pointing out that the Metsa, who is on an AHL contract I believe, is at 30 points (3 goals, 27 assists) in 41 games with a +10. He has leadership qualities and is the sort that you want to keep around (was a captain on quinnipiac the year they won the national title and is sporting an A with the amerks right now). I said it last year and I think I'll say it again... they should be signing this guy. I know he's a bit older, but he is good depth and he ought to get a shot at some point to show what he's got at the next level. Quote
SabreFinn Posted January 30 Report Posted January 30 Can line-ups be found somewhere? Who is playing with who? Quote

Dont care which players it is as long as the return helps the team win imo I'm holding on to Helenius, Wahlberg and Levi. Anybody else is an option if the right deal for useful NHL veterans comes along. 1 Quote
