LGR4GM Posted April 15 Report Posted April 15 Josh Norris is being shutdown for the season per Lindy Ruff Owen Power injury is long term and power is getting a 2nd opinion before they move forward but he's also done for the year. Both comments come from Lindy on wgr this morning. 1 1 Quote
Big Guava Posted April 15 Report Posted April 15 Well OK then...considering we have 2 games left and no playoffs it doesn't really matter anymore at this point. 1 Quote
thewookie1 Posted April 15 Report Posted April 15 Joy, that could mean Power might not be ready for camp in the Fall as well as won't have any chance to work out over the summer. 1 Quote
dudacek Posted April 15 Report Posted April 15 The Power thing has been underrated around here. A long-term injury and rehab would rob the Sabres of one of their best levers for improvement heading into next season. 3 Quote

They can still trade Byram, and Samuelsson, and their 1st round pick, and any one of 10 prospects. And they have cap space. Quote
Carmel Corn Posted April 15 Report Posted April 15 Muel wasn't satisfied with injuring himself multiple times....he decided to injure a fellow teammate (friendly fire) with the collision that ended up hurting Power. Quote

While Power misses what should be a hard summer of strengthening and conditioning and preparing himself to take a step next year. 1 Quote
Pimlach Posted April 15 Report Posted April 15 I missed the injury, lower body? What is it exactly? Quote

Byram is a very good player. Samuelson is highly overpaid and hurt all the time. What prospects do you think should be traded. What do you seek in return? Quote

Pimlach Posted April 15 Report Posted April 15 I think they have to go with Norris as the 1C/2C next season. No choice. I doubt they can move him right now, his value is down. Get healthy and stronger, that is all he can do right now. Quote

Tuch: Aww, Uncle Owen -- you've got a bad motivator. Look! Uncle Owen Power: Hey... what are you trying to push on us? Muel-PO: Ohhh... That's a shame. Listen, I know another d-man, a real bargain. Perfect for EEE. Hear me out... LHD. JB-78, already under contract for next year and playing the top six. Still, it stinks for Power. Hopefully, it's just a bunch of swelling an a MCL sprain and in 6 weeks he's back on the ice and ready to go. And.. if it's an ACL and he's out until March... because of rehab and setbacks... LTIR here we come! Look at all that cap space available and then add Power for the playoffs. Quote
That Aud Smell Posted April 15 Report Posted April 15 Aye yi yi - this team cannot afford an injury like this. Fooking awful news. Quote
rickshaw Posted April 15 Report Posted April 15 All the Power haters gonna find out how much this will hurt the Sabres next season. 1 3 Quote

What prospects do you think should be traded. What do you seek in return? I would trade any prospect currently in Buffalo's system and I want a legit top 4 RHD who is 23-27. I think Byram, Rosen, and the 2025 1st could net us quite a good player. With Power hurt though, I bet Byram gets brought back because Adams cannot handle two issues at once. Quote

thewookie1 Posted April 15 Report Posted April 15 (edited) Let me guess, Power will be out a while so Adams in his "infinite wisdom" will sign Byram to some dumb long deal and when we miss again he'll blame it on Power's injury Edited April 15 by thewookie1 1 4 1 Quote

But, this is what LTIR is for. You can ice a full-to-cap team for as long as Power is unable to play. Edited April 15 by DarthEbriate Quote
Crusader1969 Posted April 15 Report Posted April 15 Not sure where to put this but since he will be replacing Power tonigt I will ask. "Is Bryson the worst defender the Sabres have dressed since the tank years?" Quote
pi2000 Posted April 15 Report Posted April 15 MCL tear probably Brutal news, he's a guy who needed a solid summer of strength training. Quote
Thorny Posted April 15 Report Posted April 15 Kevyn Adams is almost assuredly punting next season 3 hours ago, LGR4GM said: They can still trade Byram, and Samuelsson, and their 1st round pick, and any one of 10 prospects. And they have cap space. It’s over man, Adams will punt Quote
