Weave Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 They should be focused on getting something for him, though, and they might need the RFA status in order to do that. How many more games does he need? Chz is probably the one to answer this but 68 games rings a bell with me. He's at 44 now so.......... and honestly, I don't think he's shown well enough for us to get anything out of him anyway. He's a borderline NHL'er at this point.

He has almost one full season under his belt at the NHL level. He is still pretty young to say that ship has sailed. Other teams will look at his plus minus it is the best on a the team. He has value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's at 66 career game so far (playoffs count). He needs to get up to 80, so that means 14 more games. He may just be a marginal NHLer, but I'd much rather the team holds onto an asset. Being retained in no way guarantees he's filling an NHL roster spot. And as for Tropp, I hate mentioning it, but if he were to pretend Lucic and Marchand were Steven Kampfer, I just might look the other way. Hell, Kampfer's with the Bruins so maybe they'll accidentally put his jersey on the wrong guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tropp: I hate agreeing with it as much as you hate mentioning it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inkman Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 Re MAG: if the team isn't going anywhere anyway, get him his 14 games and keep the asset. Maybe, maybe...a late round pick for him if you can bamboozle some GM but I think he's shown defensively he's shaky at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doohickie Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 No one called up yet. Looks like Grags on offense. Not that I want to see Grags on the blueline, but I think Sekera would be better on the front line. He typically leads a few rushes every game already. He provided one of the single most entertaining moments of this season: Then again... HOLY SH*T!! :w00t: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROCBuffalo Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 Just what we need. I'd take Tropp in the lineup over McCormick and Boyes 10 out of 10 times. i forgot about him whooping Rinaldo's ass -- he's a tough cookie so props to Tropp. Good game to call him up for, need all the grit we can get. What about marcus foligno, he is big, tough, and leads the Amerks in scoring?? I like Tropp but Foligno scores and fights. Edit: I was thinking after I wrote this that I have seen Foligno in a full mask the past couple games, so maybe thats why......but still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's fine; something is better than nothing. Maybe even a couple of players for your team down the interstate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LastPommerFan Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 We'll have to let some people walk, we're maxed out on total contracts allowed, and i expect we'll have to bury at least one more down in Rochester next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LabattBlue Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 There are few who could take on Lucic and win, we have 0 of those players. Our best bet at a fair fight with Lucic is it Ruff shouts him to death. Having said which if Finley ever makes it to an NHL regular he might have a chance. Either that or wait till he retires and run him over in the street. What have you seen from Finley that makes you believe he would be a match for Lucic? :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robviously Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 Random horrifying thought: Paul Gaustad sustains one of his "upper body injuries" in the next couple games and we can't trade him. Darcy gets another excuse for not doing anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rox11 Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 Per Sabres official Twitter, Tropp has been called up. So Tropp is up and I think Boyes is out, altho I'm not sure of the extent of his injury. Kubina sat out in TB before he was traded to Philly ... maybe there are plans for Boyes?

kishoph Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 Regehr is in. Boyes and Cody out, need a forward. Thank you. Per Sabres official Twitter, Tropp has been called up. Much better than MAG's at forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwksndmonster Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 The Sabres don't need to punch Lucic's face in and they don't need to crush Brad Marchand. They need to skate on onto the ice and do four things: 1) Play 2) Some 3) F*cking 4) Hockey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
