Give him some time to learn the speed of the NHL game and learn how to use his size better while gaining some weight . He was late bloomer and is really still learning how to use his size

http://www.sbncollegehockey.com/2016/3/22/11279636/minnesota-states-casey-nelson-signs-with-buffalo-sabres Was reading this write up about him. he was only 5'6" in Highschool and wasn't his full size till college (he's listed as 6'2"). So his finesse skills came from the fact that a small kid had no other choice but to depend on finesse to be effective, then he grew quickly. Yeah he definitely needs to catch up to his frame in regards to size, but I bet he'll be 10lbs of muscle stronger by next season. Very encouraged by our recent College FA signings

Yeah its still a toss up given the injury history and small body of work, but he played well for us and you have to figure the team in front of him is going to improve greatly next year. From all the reports though he was a real leader on and off the ice too

Interesting.. I thought he did way better than expected considering the injury and slow start to the season. I'm actually opposite, I think he surpassed overall expectations and looked like the answer to our starting goalie situation Clean up the ankle get him ready for next season was the right call

Yes they do say that

After all the BS they had to go through. i sure hope they got off

hard to go back that far and compare to the modern day NHL though.. Dramatically different leagues Leafs being the exception but there problem is they never really tanked till this year they were always trying to make magic happen without a real tank I do believe

?? O'reilly comes to mind. Kane does to

WTF .... don';t care how close of friends we are or linemates or team mates etc.. I'm not grabbing your junk

Holy frustration. Took me about 50 tries before the Sabres won the lottery. Meanwhile New Jersey must of won it 10 times in that span

I like them..

yes I did just didn't say the things you want to hear There is seriously something wrong with posters at sabrespace who always resort to being offended and throwing temper tantrums I stated my opinion and I am fine with the move. Nothing more to discuss, and having a long 3 page debate about it would be more worthless that tits on a bull

seriously ? offensive if this offended you, you probably need to get off the internet all together McGinn is a middle of the pack utility player. Not a player you over pay because you feel he could fit the future. In fact he is still a UFA this off-season and we can still offer him a contract, but now we have extra ammo to pick up one of the plethora of McGinn type players lots of playoff teams will be offloading. To me that is extremely intelligent GM'ing McGinn probably wanted ot test FA regardless so at least the Sabres got a pick for him while he does exactly that.

Exactly... I see lots of people unable to see the bigger picture. There will be quite a Few Jamie McGinn's and then some available this offseason. Lots of teams pushed themselves up tight against the cap and are going to want draft picks to start filling the stables again. we will see some new vet faces for those draft picks

If he can stay healthy he'll improve on his solid showing so far. He's obviously rusty from 2 years of dealing with injury. He has shown plenty and IMO will improve and get better along side of a team that will do the same around him

1 picture of a bar maid is interesting 1/2 dozen is stalking.

LMAO None of this bothers me even in the slightest.

I think it would be justified for us to win the draft lottery this year. 2x's we came in last place but ended up drafting 2nd So this year we improve but win that lottery !!! As for tanking this season.. No.. this team is playing a much better brand of hockey. They're young and getting better. I'm content with the direction the team is turning.

Another Rock and Roll legend leaves behind his legacy, and what a legacy it was/is.

Hobbit movies were fantastic.. Loved every minute of the trilogy.. I will watch them many times

I'm a 2/3 pot of coffee a day guy Grind my own bean every morning... I find a hot cup of coffee in the morning to be truly euphoric.... I would not even think about living with out it.

It would be quite entertaining in the future if the Sabres lose the draft lottery end up With EIchle and lose out on Babcock and settle for Blysma only to see the EIchel having a better career than McDavid and Blysma more success behind the Sabres bench then Babcock in Toronto Basically we lose twice but both losses turn out to be difference making positives

too early for charts yes, but not to early to think we have a damn good shot at making the playoffs and then some. This team has been better on paper then standings show..

I never understand this forum and the complete overzealous moderation. Personally I think it completely ruins the forum. Unfortunately there are almost no decent forums out there for the Sabres that one can switch to
