LGR4GM Posted November 13 Report Posted November 13 Ruff said he will be out long term but his injury does not require surgery so should return this season. This is basically every year for this guy and we can call him what he is, injury prone. 4 Quote

This is basically every year for this guy and we can call him what he is, injury prone. What strikes me is how innocuous the collision looked (if you want to call it a collision). Muel was just standing there and the next thing he knows, he’s spun down and out for weeks. It might be bad luck, but, he’s eligible for the 1/3 buyout due to age and I can see it happen this offseason. He’s just not available enough. 1 Quote
Weave Posted November 13 Report Posted November 13 Tinfoil hat time. Mule is giving me Zach Bogozian vibes. I distinctly remember there were unsubstantiated rumors that Mule was being advised to not sign with Buffalo. I seem to recall it was Ulf giving him that advice. I dunno. Just a gut feeling here. 4 1 Quote
LGR4GM Posted November 13 Author Report Posted November 13 What percentage of games has Samuelsson played? 50% Quote
LGR4GM Posted November 13 Author Report Posted November 13 His buyout is 714k a year until 2035. Quote
Pimlach Posted November 13 Report Posted November 13 Just thinking back to the promise he showed. 6'4" and 227 lbs but just not durable. His availability for the past 2 seasons plus this one is 61%. He was probably playing injured for a lot of those games. 1 Quote

If I was his Dad I would not have wanted him to sign with Buffalo either, especially at that time with yet another regime change in process. 1 Quote
That Aud Smell Posted November 13 Report Posted November 13 Holy hell. Btw, when he was in the lineup this year, he was ... not great? Sorta bad? That's my sense of things, anyway. 1 1 Quote
DarthEbriate Posted November 13 Report Posted November 13 (edited) <sigh> Well, maybe they could put him on LTIR to free up some of that precious cap space, then trade for a durable defensive RHD on a somewhat-largish contract, and then have Muel magically ready to come back when they reach the playoffs.

Uncle. Regardless, my working theory is Bogosian wasn’t hurt all that time. He was “hurt “ riding out his contract/trying to get traded. And the vibe with Mule seems similar to me. This time, he’s benched for 2 games and gets injured on an innocuous play his first game back? My radar is pinging. 4 2 1 Quote

DarthEbriate Posted November 13 Report Posted November 13 The Saga of Muel-PO: I: My parts are showing? II: I'm quite beside myself. III: I feel so helpless. IV: I must have taken a bad step. V: Well, at least you're still in one piece. Look what happened to me! VI: My eye! VII: You probably don't recognize me because of the red arm. VIII: Full health! Talk about inverting expectations. The Singularity! IX: Taking one last look... at my friends. 1 Quote

PerreaultForever Posted November 13 Report Posted November 13 Should have traded him to Philly. How he played this year was one of the question marks for how this season would go so not good. D is thin now to say the least. 1 Quote
matter2003 Posted November 13 Report Posted November 13 JFC... Some people's bodies just aren't made to play pro sports. He is one of them. 1 Quote
Derrico Posted November 13 Report Posted November 13 I was worried it would be TNT out long term so I’ll take this trade. 1 Quote
Wyldnwoody44 Posted November 13 Report Posted November 13 So Adams gave us a poor Dman made of silt. No true 2nd line center A very regressed Quinn and Cozens, one on a very bloated contract. A captain that takes maybe the dumbest penalties in the sport in crucial times. A 3 headed "monster" at goalie only to have one of them poached leaving the following 2, to average very Meh numbers. And 1 too many Matt Ellis behind the bench. Wowwwww 1 1 Quote

Broken Ankles Posted November 13 Report Posted November 13 I submit the revocation of the nickname “Muel”. A mule is a Beast of burden. He is neither. His name shall be Elijah/Mr. Glass. 4 Quote

ASlugAbove Posted November 14 Report Posted November 14 Questionable signing from day one. Didn’t like it. Not the big body sound dman Adams thought he had. And he plays about 50% of the games. Also speaks at a third grade level in interviews lol. Not sure what we do with him. Quote
Cranky old man Posted November 14 Report Posted November 14 The sabres need to get him heathy, play him a teeny tiny bit and trade him. Let his potential tease the life out of some other club. Even if it’s its little more than a salary dump, he has to go. The money we are wasting on him is needed for players who contribute throughout the year. 1 Quote
