Guest Guest Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 I hope something is planned because now with Kalinen's injury, the only extra body the Sabres have is Noronen. I'm assuming this means they'll call up Novotny (if they haven't already). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This certainly amplifies the need for another solid defenseman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This certainly amplifies the need for another solid defenseman. We have no extra skaters at all right now, and Andrew Peters is already playing. Unless they plan on using Mika as a F or D, they need to bring up one of each. I don't understand why they would even bother to send Paile down right now, especially since they just held the AHL all star game yesterday. The league must still have a few days off.

LabattBlue Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 Everybody knows my stance on Peters, but WTF are Darcy and Lindy thinking. Paille can sleep walk through the game and still contribute more than Peters. :angry: I know Peters has pictures of Lindy and Darcy together. It's time to pay him whatever he wants for the pictures and make him go away forever. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With 2 empty roster spots (possibly 3 if Kalinen is IR'ed), there is no excuse for this. Novotny better be called up before tonight's game.

Why would they bring a forward up if they just sent a forward (Paille) down? If anything they need a defenseman to bring up in the stead of Kalinin going down. Why Paille is going down is beyond me. Peters is a piece of crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hopeleslyobvious Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 Perhaps a move is taking place and we need the roster space? That's all I got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inkman Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 Have roster spots been officially opened? I know Paille was sent down but that is only one spot. Maybe they are making a trade. Then again, weren't we all clamoring for Paille to be sent down so he could get some more ice time. Maybe they just want him to develop more? :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything they need a defenseman to bring up in the stead of Kalinin going down. Why Paille is going down is beyond me. Peters is a piece of crap. Hecht is currently playing center, which isn't his natural position. I've read several comments that Lindy is keeping a close eye on that situation, including faceoffs. Inkman, the Sabres already had one free roster spot. They never called up anyone when Connolly was hurt. Now with Paille being sent down, that's 2 spots. Today's Buffalo News also said that Kalinen will probably be IR'ed. That would make 3 spots. Our only reserve right now is Noronen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shrader Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 No, it's 23. Fair enough, but I still have to wonder why this team wasn't carrying a spare forward today just in case someone got hurt in the pregame warmups. Maybe Paille was still in town.

deluca67 Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 Thanks for the insights Guest. So would you care to elaborate on how Peters is more valuable being in the lineup instead of Paille or Novotny? I'd rather play short handed then have Peters in the lineup. By the way. Who can I sue to get the 5 minutes of my life back stolen from me by watching the Peters vs. Boulton fight. I've seen better fights at Wegmans between two old hags over a dozen eggs. Back to the point. I wonder if Briere is closer to coming back then anyone thinks? That or a trade is the best case senario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan in MD Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 The "new NHL" does not need spots being taken up by the likes of Peters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eleven Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 I'm proposing a trade: Peters to St. Louis for six rolls of stick tape and--if St. Louis is willing--the rights to Tony Twist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for Briere, I thought I heard that he is skating with the team which would probably put him about 3-4 weeks away. Getting him, Connolly (who I heard would be back closer to 6 weeks than the 8), and (hopefully) a defenseman for Marty, and the team will be in good shape for the stretch run.

jayg Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 Everyone keeps knocking Peters in his antiquated roll. Has anyone noticed that Peters holds his own when given a chance and often is involved in scoring oppourtunities? Yeah, there are much better players, but he can play at an NHL level.

LabattBlue Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 Peters holds his own when given a chance and often is involved in scoring oppourtunities? Really?? Peters involved in scoring chances? If he was half the player that you just described he would be getting more than his standard 2-3 minutes of ice time per game(that's assuming he is even dressed for the game). He's a big lumbering no talent goon, nothing more, nothing less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
