Real good dude

 

[WiHockeyGuy]

Like it.

 

[MarkusKetterer]

This off-season is looking like every single one of my Be A GM modes.

Except there’s no random “legit 1st or 2nd liners”.

 

[MeenOlViks]

He put up a memorable fight with Marcus Foligno a few years ago

 

[joshjull]

Some muscle added to the lineup.

 

[My Cozen Dylan]

Don’t know anything about him. Frankly don’t see where he fits in with all the bottom six forwards we already have.

 

[TehDoak]

Don’t know anything about him. Frankly don’t see where he fits in with all the bottom six forwards we already have.

He's a 14th forward who will be pulled into the line up when faces need punched.

Toughness that the team has sorely lacked for ages.

So this means one of Caggiula or Okposo are regulars, eh? Gross.

 

[sabres4ever]

John Scott, is that you?

Who were you expecting? Seriously, I'd like to know with the current state of this franchise who you thought we would be bringing in.

Okposo has been a regular for years.

Let’s say we get Tuch, Smith, and Krebs for Jack.

Skinner - Cozens - Tuch
Olofsson - Mittelstadt - Smith
Ruotsalainen - Krebs - Hinostroza
Girgensons - Asplund - Bjork

Still leaves Thompson, Caggiula, Okposo, and now Hayden. Even if we flip Smith, Thompson comes in next.

It’s really not that crazy a proposition. We need NHL players to get to the floor.

I don't think we are getting anyone for Jack anytime soon.....but I do like that lineup.

 

[Der Jaeger]

Solid

 

[Sabre Dance]

Real good dude

The Buffalo Good Dudes.

 

[Fjordy]

Well, at least someone can be physical and throw off their gloves

In a non competitive season. It really doesn't matter for this year.

 

[Dirty Dog]

Make this man sticky!

[Buffaloed]

Is he the Sabres first Yalee?

Hoepfully that will be all the nights I watch this season.

Agreed. Allows them to use IR more liberally next year and not call up as many from ROC too.

 

[BCsabre]

Finally a physical player, now need one more up front and one on the back end

 

[billsandsabres]

anybody have a scouting report on his skating?
