[missingmika]

[MarkusKetterer]

Tage looking really rough there

 

[K8fool]

public shaming is effective.. but i really believe the aristocrat owners have heard you and.. maybe its 2017 in sabres/bills world.. hopefully we've all had enough..
I'm even cool w the consequence of 9 spelled differently w 2 players mitts and cozens level coming back.. or seeing 9 cleaned and spelled as it has the last 5 snd winning w the kids that care as much as 9.

That sucks. But I get it

 

[sabres4ever]

Something just doesn't smell right. How can he be trying out for Caps, but not us?

 

[sabremike]

Here's the problem: This is the type of clownshoes thing that rarely happens with credible organizations. The Sabres seem to do something like this on a routine basis so they deserved to get smacked around and laughed at because they haven't earned any benefit of the doubt.

I didn't know other Orgs are able to get Visa's processed faster than the Sabres.

When you have a skeleton front office staff…

There's plenty to crap on about the Sabres. Not sure why you're raking them over the coals for this. I'm sure they knew about visa issues going into the claim and figured they'd be done by the time the regular season started.

Don't think the Sabres are at fault here -- there are a TON of visa issues all over the country. It's taking FOREVER to get a lot of visa issues resolved at a federal level.

 

[Jim Bob]

He’s not an NHL caliber player right now. So, I doubt this would have played out differently if he had been in a preseason game or two.

That isn't good at their job on top of it.

Yes the government agency handling this being short staffed is what led to the wait.

Which then begs the question of why was he claimed in the first place?

There are issues beyond buffalos control on the visa problems.

the issue isn’t him being here but fir him being employed.

 

[Jim Bob]

Who knows? I thought it was a weird claim from the hop as he is a good skater with no real offensive production even at the AHL level.

I hope this isn’t an issue if we claim any North America’s this week. Or if it might deter us making claims. What a pain in the ass

This is true. My buddys wife from China is 9 months wait now for a visa.

I think the only PITA would be if we claimed a canadian player who hasn't yet been a part of a USA-based team.

 

[Zman5778]

This is true. My buddys wife from China is 9 months wait now for a visa.

My wife's co-worker was forced to quit her job (with the state, mind you) because her visa expired. She had been waiting EIGHT months for the visa extension.

I'm sure the NHL has a cracker-jack legal team for visas. I think the turn-around was just a little fast. The fact they had him suited up waiting for the visa makes me think it was very close.

I agree. Probably close. Sabres just didn't have the rosters space for him. Claim didn't make sense.

Sabres decided to stay loyal to who they had in camp.
They would have had to chose him over someone else (waive Hayden, Eakin, Cagguila? R2 to Rochester?).

Now if he goes to Rochester instead of Hershey, maybe the claim is a good move to add more depth in the organization.

I don't think they will claim anyone tomorrow. They will need to send a waiver exempt player to Rochester to make room.

I do believe they would have had a spot for him if things hadn't played out the way they did.

So make the spot for him. No game until Thursday. 13 other forwards to start games.

Peca worked as Player development coach for the capitals last season. I wonder if he worked with J-F.
