McCabe and Pysyk assigned to Amerks

[tsujimoto74]

Drouin saw more training camp action and he was sent down on a conditioning stint as well. What is Yzerman thinking!?!?

He also has 0 games of previous NHL experience to Pysyk's 63.

 

[SabresFan26]

I think at least 1 of Meszaros or Benoit was traded at the deadline for whatever you can get (depth playoff D guys). Thats when we give some Rochester guys more time.

Gorges-Myers
Benoit-Ristolainen
Weber-Pysyk
Strachan

Pysyk better be up soon. I'm all for the tank but he deserves to be here.

McTANK on for McJesus

 

[Ness]

i can watch it all year... with a huge smile... tank on

This. Embrace the tank! This season is such an exciting time to be a Sabres fan, with McEichel looming. This move is great for Rochester, also. I need to start watching some of their games.

 

[Jim Bob]

wherz all z tradez?

Here:

 

[brian_griffin]

Another option: Pysyk up after Zadarov 9 games & returned to Junior.

After Zadorov's 9 games... so, February?

Pysyk has played :56 this season. Nolan said he's down to get some games and then will be back.

@BuffaloSabres

Nolan on Pysyk: We've never questioned his ability to play, just have to give him some games & hopefully we get him back up here. #FLAvsBUF

He's trying to ruin him the same way Melrose did with Stamkos.

 

[Husko]

The tank is going to take a major hit once only two of Weber, Benoit, and Mezaros are in the lineup

Unless Nolan goes classic Nolan and Pysyk replaces Risto

#Amerks coach Chadd Cassidy said Jake McCabe won't play Saturday. Not quite ready from conditioning standpoint.

This is ridiculous. He missed 1 week.

"hopefully"?

He's easily a lock in that top 6... hopefully...wth

 

[Chainshot]

So Pysyk for conditioning/game action and then likely back. I'd rather they punt Benoit or Mess-aros down when that happens but it's probably going to be Risto. The first few games, he was holding the line and bring a physical game that would be a nice addition on the PK, if, y'know, he got any PK time.

I think Strachan is the first to go.

 

[Chainshot]

I think Strachan is the first to go.

Possibly, but in terms of what I've seen on the ice, Mess-aros would be the best person to send down. I am surprised Strachan has lasted as long as he has, pleasantly so.

 

[Ruckus007]

This is ridiculous. He missed 1 week.

Well, closer to two. They've only got the one game this weekend right? Makes sense to me to be cautious.

 

[joshjull]

I think Strachan is the first to go.

Depends on what Murray's plans are. If he wants Risto to play a ton of minutes in all situations like Pysyk did last year. Then Risto will be the one heading to Rochester.

Classic Nolan? You do realize these moves are being decided by Murray.

Possible, but I think they'll give him more time.

 

[joshjull]

Possible, but I think they'll give him more time.

I don't think the decision would really be about how Risto is playing. It would be about where Murray feels is best for him developmentally. I get the sense, if everyone was healthy at the start of the season, he may have been in Rochester with McCabe with Pysyk in Buffalo.

@kevinoDandC -

#Amerks coach Chadd Cassidy said Jake McCabe won't play Saturday. Not quite ready from conditioning standpoint.
#Amerks D Jake McCabe said the goal is to be ready to play Wednesday vs. Rockford.

Who knew? Jake McCabe has fond memories of the #ROC.
It was here at USA Hockey's 2009 Select 16 camp that career took off.
NTDP coaches Ron Rolston and Chadd Cassidy liked what they saw, invited him to be part of program in Ann Arbor.
McCabe - "My life changed a lot that day. I don't know if I'd be here today if I hadn't played in Ann Arbor."

Considering Mark Pysyk played just 50 seconds of #Sabres preseason, he's anxious to play with the #Amerks Saturday -

@RSandersonWHTK -

#Amerks D Mark Pysyk will play Saturday at #Marlies.
Jake McCabe (middle-body) will not travel with the team - might debut for #Roc Wednesday vs Rockford.
#Amerks Coach Chadd Cassidy (with Ron Rolston) saw Jake McCabe play @usahockey Select 16 Festival at @BGiceplex in 2009.
Offered him a spot on USNTDP. #Roc
McCabe on assignment to #Amerks - "The #AHL is an awesome league. It's my 1st year pro. Just trying to become a better hockey player."
