Recalled/Assigned: 4-3: Sabres Recall Forwards Alex Nylander and Kevin Porter

[Push Dr Tracksuit]

Sure

Ya he gets called up

 

[tsujimoto74]

Nylander's made some definite progress lately. I think he's earned a short look. Hopefully getting a cup of coffee in the NHL now provides him with a little extra motivation to work hard this summer.

Does a player drafted in the fourth round performing like him get a call up?

A player drafted in the 4th round is still in juniors during his D+2 season. So no they don't get called up.

 

[Yatzhee]

Good deal

 

[Dex]

Totally expected this call up, as did many others. Botts needs to see him in NHL games with NHL talent. Hopefully Housley plays him with decent line mates and not on the 4th line.

I picked up tickets for Wednesday's game. Looking forward to seeing Eichel, Sam, Mitts and now Nylander

 

[Djp]

Nylander to pay with Mitts or Eichel.

I think nylander sulked about not getting a shot like he expected as someone in 2nd post draft yeRar.

Porter... Larsson injury for 4th line ?

 

[Icicle]

He’s only getting called up because Smith got hurt, let’s not get ahead of ourselves in adoration

Nearly every waiver exempt (and many non-exempt) player has gotten a shot to play in the NHL this year.

The sunk cost comment is silly because Botterill has no sunk cost in this draft pick. Jason didn’t select Nylander. Sure, the Sabres as an organization have a sunk cost since as an entity it has Nylander in the system.

To me, this doesn’t scream “fire!” In a movie theatre. Based on many players getting a chance to get NHL time — and the fact that Nylander has been performing better lately, should get a couple games.

Or, you know, was recovering from an injury he suffered in training camp which didn’t allow him to get in game shape for a while. He missed I believe 23 games.

Your reasonable logic has no place here

I'm curious if Alex gets a spin on Mittelstadt's wing at all.

Depends on how well he's been braised

Like I said when Mittlestadt signed....bring up Nylander and run......


Nylander - Eichel - Mittlestadt



Screw it, let the kids fly....we're in last place with 3 games left....

You think Jack is happy with Girgs and Pomm? Hell No, but to give him 2 guys with less then 10 NHL games experience??? Lets just run Jack out of town now.
