Confirmed with Link: Sabres sign Andrew Oglevie (Notre Dame C) to 2 year ELC

[Fly Boy]

I would of preferred G Cale Morris.

Still really hope the Sabres can sign him.

 

[Buffaloed]

Smart move by Botterill to deflect a little by announcing this right before his press conference.

I would be a bad omen if the Sabres really did sign him to a 3 year deal and it was rejected by the NHL.

 

[Gabrielor]

Rochester is going to have a huge goalie hole next year, so yeah, I’d love morris

Sabres sign forward Andrew Oglevie

Sabres PR updated it:

The Buffalo Sabres today announced the team has signed forward Andrew Oglevie to a two-year, entry-level contract.

Just getting out of couple hours of lecture and meetings to see this. The kid is clutch. He’s got solid worker bee mentality and from what I remember of him, he’s quick.

 

[old kummelweck]

Can he play in Roch?

 

[Jim Bob]

Can he play in Roch?

I haven't read that he signed an ATO with the Amerks, so my guess is that the answer is no ala Casey M.

 

[jBuds]

He stuck out like a sore thumb to me. I like this.

 

[ValJames]

5-10 180, going to need to hit the gym and even then...

Still, may make up a little for not getting Brickley

 

[ValJames]

WGR is reporting he will be staying in school this semester to finish his degree and not reporting to Rochester. That was probably a big reason he choose the Sabres.

I haven't read that he signed an ATO with the Amerks, so my guess is that the answer is no ala Casey M.

Depends on body type, look at stamkos! But yea hopefully he develops a year in Rochester nicely

He's basically ERod's size.

 

[NotABadPeriod]

If he could become a good 4th line center and a replacement for Larsson that would be nice.

It's not like the Mittelstadt situation. Now, even if he decides not to play in Rochester to close out the year, he is certainly eligible to play there. His ELC doesn't start this year because the Sabres don't have any games left, and based on all past precedent contracts can only start during a given league year when the signing team still has games left.

I believe he is ineligible for Rochester playoffs because he was not Sabres property on Clear Day roster day. Mittlestadt would have been eligible to sign an ATO because he was Sabres property but chose to start his ELC. Oglevie could have ATO'd and played the remainder of the regular season but would have been ineligible for the playoffs.

 

[ValJames]

I get the feeling sometimes there is more interest in Rochester here than Buffalo ?

Clear Day rosters haven't existed for years. Based on last playoffs, players who aren't in the organization at the AHL trade deadline even can play in the playoffs if signed to ATOs or even PTOs.

[Ethan Edwards]

I heard elsewhere he’d signed with an unspecified NHL team. I was slightly miffed we’d missed out on another solid get, then I check in here. The green banner threw me for a loop! I like it. After graduation I’ll bet he’s going to Disneyland!

It's more fun to root for a winning team.

 

[AustonsNostrils]

Sounds cut from the same cloth as ERod and CJ Smith - 5'10" wingers with decent speed and point/goal producers. More competition among the prospects the better.

 

[joshjull]

 

[ValJames]

I remember Rochester folks bitching about Sabre call ups 30 years.

It's more fun to root for a winning team.

 

[old kummelweck]

damn. I've been posting in the wrong thread all night...
