LaLaLaFontaine Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 Ahh now i can post, i did not reaize before that we signed him already. I hope he can live up to the expectations, i am very excited what our picks may be able to do in this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LastPommerFan Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 Good point. What is everyone's expectations of Mihkail? To avoid the use of the Oreo Moniker, he needs to go at least 52 goals and 87 assists in his first NHL season. Then we can just call him "The Grig One" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spndnchz Posted July 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 Good point. What is everyone's expectations of Mihkail? He's the second highest pick we've had since Vanek IN 2003. That's my expectation. Without a year in Rochester. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabres Fan in NS Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 Good point. What is everyone's expectations of Mihkail? I expect a full year with the Sabres and a good one, split on wing and centre. I also would not be surpirised if he were a serious Calder candidate.

sabres1970 Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 Will he wear 89??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudacek Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 I don't expect him to make the team because Darcy adds a top line forward. He gets an early season taste, goes to the Q and rips it up in the second half of the season there, leading the Remparts on a good playoff run.

Huckleberry Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 he'll play wing on a line with vanek and hodgon. vanek will be set up by hodgon and grigs , scoring 50 + goals. grigs will get around 25 goals , the three of them will rack up points Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

X. Benedict Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 If he makes the roster, I think a reasonable expectation is .55 pts. a game. to make it worth everyone's while. He needs at least that kind of production to help the team. But I wouldn't expect much more. 45 pts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RazielSabre Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 Good point. What is everyone's expectations of Mihkail? I expect him to be used sparingly, like Seguin. I wouldn't be surprised if he hits around 40 points, but thats all i expect to be honest. Someone who'll shine in his sophmore year me thinks.

chileanseabass Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 I'm thinking somewhere in the 35-45 pt. range, depending on games played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobody Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 He'll have 20 points in the first 30 games and then Lindy will put him on the 4th line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksabre Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 He'll have 20 points in the first 30 games and then Lindy will put him on the 4th line. My hope for this year is that player roles will be so well defined that Lindy wont have the option of constantly changing lines. He should be able to set one lineup and roll it all year long, knowing full well that these lines will develop chemistry if they stay together long enough. Please god no more bipolar line assignments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrader Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 Just to put this in perspective, here is the list of 19 year old rookies who played a full year at the NHL level in recent seasons: 2011-2012 Landeskog: 22-30-52 Nugent-Hopkins: 18-34-52 Sean Couturier: 13-14-27 Adam Larsso:n 2-16-18 (Defenseman) 2010-2011 Jeff Skinner: 31-32-63 Taylor Hall: 22-20-42 Cam Fowler: 10-30-40 (Defenseman) Tyler Seguin: 11-11-22 Alexander Burmistrov: 6-14-20 2009-2010 Matt Duchene: 24-31-55 John Tavares: 24-30-54 Evander Kane: 14-12-26 Ryan O-Reilly: 8-18-26 Victor Hedman: 4-16-20 (Defenseman) So keep this in mind when making your predictions. 50 points would be exceptional.

K-9 Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 He'll have 20 points in the first 30 games and then Lindy will put him on the 4th line. If his offensive production is negated by his lack of commitment in the defensive zone, I can see Lindy doing just that. GO SABRES!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudacek Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 Interesting, forgot about Skinner. So there is precedent of a non-top five pick actually meeting this board's expectation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please god no more bipolar line assignments. I hope you are right. As stated I'm not a big fan of Ruff, although I do think he is a good coach, but maybe some of his line juggling could be attributed to all the injuries last season.
