I commented in the Training Camp Thread a month ago that Zadorov was listed at 238 based on the training camp news release. That seems like far to heavy of a weight for him unless he gained a ton of muscle. Looks like he may have been just slacking off this summer and although the Sabres seem to want him with the big club (alteast for now) they still have to get him in game shape. He's still a young kid but if this is the reason he isn't being played then I'm starting to get concerned.

I know this should go in the draft thread but I've heard Hanifin is being hyped as a better prospect then Seth Jones. I think we need to take BPA and find a trade partner to take on one of our D if we end up picking third. I'm very curious to see how Zacha does this year. He's had a slow start in comparison to several of the other elite prospects but as you said, it may be because of the transition to NA.

John Scott may not be on the blue and gold anymore but he's still trying to help the sabres out. http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/2014/10/16/video-scott-forces-grabovski-from-game-with-heavy-hit/

Or TM won't let them steal Beno and Mez spots and ruin the tank :ph34r:

De Haan has put up some serious points in the past. I'm just hoping he hurts them in the D zone. We will see, I hate their promising start.
-
That very well may be. De Haan was a 1st round pick although I was surprised he went as high as he did as I attended a lot of Generals games in his draft year. Carkner is a boarderline AHL player though.
-
De Hann was a -7 last year and Carkner was a -10 (2 of 3 worst Isles Dmen in terms of +/-). Visnovsky is a good player though.
-
It's either Mantha or Nyquist for me. As someone else said Larkin is just more of what we already have. It's obvious that some don't feel Myers is worth a teams top prospect, which is valid. I think the potential is still there and he has looked like a different player since Nolan came to town. Why trade Myers if we're moving past a teams top 2 options? Detroit may not have much LW or RW depth behind those top guys but they also don't have a potential top pairing Dman either.
-
I love this thread.
-
Does Myers for Carolina's first get it done?
-
Number 2 and 3 dmen.

All of these rules are in place to protect the CHL. A STH in London would likely be pretty pissed off if Zad rips it up all season and then the Sabres call him up at the end of the year and he misses the stretch run and playoffs. Atleast if the Sabres now decide to keep Zad all year then London can make other plans. It's a ###### rule from a Buffalo perspective but that is why it is in place.

Darnell Nurse playing his first NHL game tonight for Oilers. He was picked one spot ahead of Risto so I'm interested in seeing what kind of player he becomes. Sorry I wasn't sure what thread to put this in but for those interested and have centre ice, thought I'd throw it out there.
-
If he gets sent back to London you cannot recall him until after the Knights season ends.
-
That's scary. Shows right in that stat how hard it is to truly be that inept.
-
Thanks for the info. Maybe you are on to something then drk. Maybe when Pysyk is ready to go a move will be made.

Derrico replied to spndnchz's topic in The Aud Club
So they were watchable by possibly finishing 5th last and not now? I'd argue the opposite. I think you will see a much better hockey team tonight. -
Now I'm more pumped for this one. Nice write-up, get your popcorn ready!!
-
I'm not one of the cap geek type guys on here. Are we still close enough to the cap floor that it could be an issue waiving some guys (i.e. Mes with his 4+ mil contract)?
-
Personal Video Recorder if you need the rest :P
-
Ya I agree the only way he starts in Buffalo is if he demands it similar to McCabe.
-
I have no idea who the two imports London have are. But if Zad gets sent back to London he will be with the Knights. I'm sure one of the other guys will be waived/traded before Nikita. Edit - After checking out the Knights website they only appear to have one import player other than Nikita (whom is also listed on their roster)? http://www.londonknights.com/roster/index/team/14/season/51

Avoided this thread as I couldn't watch the episode on the ol PVR until last night. Fan friggen tastic start to the season. As had been mentioned, they pushed that slaughterhouse scene about as far as they could go. Very creepy.
-
Nice to see he hasn't fallen off. I didn't think he would be a one year wonder but we gave up a decent amount for him so this is great.
-
At this point why not? I'm a huge fan of Myers. I thought he was one of if not our best player before getting hurt last season. He's a very good player IMO. But it's been two years in a row where we have absolutely no scoring. The worst part is there is very little scoring even in the pipeline. The odds are we don't end up with McEichle so then what? We probably pick 3rd in which you absolutely cannot pass on Hannifan (D) at this point. We have high end prospects that play D and a trade for a guy like Mantha would give us a higher end forward prospect. I would also expect a 2015 first and maybe something else in the deal as well.
