Confirmed with Link: Sabres re-sign D Jacob Bryson to 2 yr deal @ $1.85M AAV - Waived 12/18/23, Re-assigned 1/20/24

[Zman5778]

The whole premise of waiving Bryson 10 weeks ago is based on a GM making the proper decisions.

The premise of NOT waiving Bryson 10 weeks ago was to let Ryan Johnson get some time in Rochester.

Once Johnson proved he belonged in the lineup, and it looked like Granato could manage a rotation of EJ/RJ/Clifton/Joker..........then Bryson should have been waived.

But it's not like not waiving Bryson stopped Adams from doing anything.

It's not directly related, but it's one way KA could have opened a spot for a FW that they need. I'm not so sure Bryson staying was just based on RyJo getting time in Roch. RyJo was called up because of injury and forced KA's hand, BUT...you're right - the decision to waive Bryson (because RyJo forced KA's hand) could have been made six weeks ago, not 10.

So, this is the part where he gets claimed. Right? LOL. Him getting claimed at ANY point this season was ludicrous. He should have been sent down weeks ago. Comrie too.

I remember Adams' face lighting up this off-season when he was being asked about Bryson, I thought "oh man, this is not going to bode well for our defense this year"

 

[Chainshot]

No one missed him being gone for a month. But he's back.

Guess that means EJ is missing a couple games

Bryson was recalled before the game.

 

[Old Navy Goat]

He was recalled because Samuelsson was out.

Same reason Clague was up for the last game - gets a day of NHL pay and they have a 7th defenseman in case someone gets dinged in the pre-game skate.

He's not on a two-way. He gets NHL pay in the AHL doesn't he?

Good point. He gets to sleep in his old condo then.

I'm sure Mitts kept his room for him

Both EJ and Joki are on the injury report so get ready for BrysHockey!

After last night...

 

[Chainshot]

Will looking for the PR on Bryson being recalled, I found this and chuckled:



Metsa is rounding into AHL form nicely.

After last night...

And outscored the opposition 20-9.

This is like the old Dalton Smith effect for Rochester - their record with him in the lineup was so out of whack better than without. Weird. Must be the post-game DJing...
