Andrew Peters just said that Alex Nylander had the option to come to development camp (and apparently chose not to come)
and he made it sound like maybe Tage Thompson has the option too and “happily showed up”

Yep. He said he didn't say anything but was tempted to give him a Kevin Hart style "Vesey.... reeeeallly?" I suggested if he sees him again, say hello.
Did he get a look at BOTTS' phone to see who has called and what deals he is finalizing?

Ha. Tangent: his is a child who once shamed an entire row of Canadian fans at the 2011 U20's into stunned silence when he was asked why he was rooting for them that day, rather than (as they were) rooting against the regional rival. His response was simply "because Canada is our friend". They didn't say a peep about the US team for the rest of the games we were there.
He seems to be gravitating to the goalie drills. So far he still likes Hanson and no, the helmet airbrushing is not the reason (though he thought it was cool).

That’s what I had read.
I don’t know if Peters was talking out of his ass or what. Jut figured I’d pass it on.
Edit - it looks like Thompson has 106 career NHL games, so maybe Petey was speaking the truth?
Tage Thompson Stats and News
Peters made it sound like they gave both players the option and Tage chose to come where as Nylander didn’t.
I find most of the time, one of the regulars on that show is talking out of his ass. I go from agreeing with a take to wondering if we watch the same game with either host all the time.
At least this morning there is the sound of pucks striking the boards in the background of their chatter. I can't believe I listened to a Roenick interview hoping to hear something about what was going on or having someone from the team in.
And now it's PHam. Heh.

I added more to my above post. I guess I edited it while you were quoting me. Looking at thompson’s NHL games played, it looks like maybe there was some truth to what Peters said (if 70 NHL games is the cut off)
No worries. Not being here, if it was an option, is a possible bad look. With the enmeshment between the team and the station, one would think the team would want the show to have the team-based spin on it. But I don't know, since they riff on things all the time.
Early return on session one this morning : Murray fell a bit in skating drills, did not leave him with a good impression.

"I don't know how, but you used the wrong formula and got the correct answer"
Does that only work if all 70+ games are in the Sabres' uniform? Tage has 106 NHL games to his credit.
*edit* nevermind, answered above. It speaks well of TT to choose to come to camp if he didn't have to, IMO.

I cant wait to do this with my son!!!!!
My cub reporter telling me Thompson and Laaksonen impressed him the most in the morning session. He's also asked me to "teach him how to see these things in players that you see". Like, it's Gladwell thin-slicing after years of watching games. How... man. Just... Talk about trying to quantify something mercurial.

It might not mean much. But did anyone look at Botts during Kruegers speech? He looks like a schoolgirl watching her crush speak at a pep rally or some shit. Definitely looks like he's happy to have the right guy in place.
This makes me think of when Derek Roy stormed into Sabres camp assuming he had a role with the team all locked up. And then Lindy sent his ass to Rochester for 8 games.
