IKnowPhysics Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 Regier on Weber in press conference, verbatim: "Mike Weber is a heart and soul guy that continues to improve. Defensively, he's beginning to take on a leadership role, recognized in the room by example and by his behavior that is worthy of being followed. We look for him as someone that is a glue guy on this team that is going to contribute in a lot of different ways, other than even what he does on the ice."

JJFIVEOH Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 It's a good signing on its merits and hopefully it comes with a bonus in that we'll be in a better position to re-sign Ott, since he and Weber are BFFs. Hopefully them being BFF's helps. If there's ever a time when a team needs some character players, it's when the team is young. I think it was mentioned that after the trade deadline the Sabres were the youngest team in the league. Not sure where that stands now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, Mike needs to continue to exceed expectations and get better. Right now we are young and shallow on defense so he is probably a top4 guy but on a true cup team? Honestly Weber is your #6 or #7 guy. I hope he keeps working and improving because we could use some guys actually exceeding their potential.

Which is where Regehr's influence will be seen for years hopefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jsixspd Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 I'm happy with this re-signing. He's a solid plus 3 in the plus/minus side, a big improvement from 2011-12 where he was an awful -19. Plus he's one of the few guys to actually show some passion - but he needs to work on reducing his PIM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwksndmonster Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 So Mike's the underboss and Ott's the captain? I'll take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samson's Flow Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 So Mike's the underboss and Ott's the captain? I'll take it. Anything with Ott as the leader is something I can get on board with.

Samson's Flow Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 Captain or not, he'll be the leader. Oh I agree, but last year could have rang a little hollow with Ott being the true leader with Pomminstein as the "C" (sorry in advance to the artist formerly known as LastPommerFan) :nana: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taro T Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 Vanek = C Ott = A Weber = A ...count on it! It could happen, but I don't like the idea of giving TV the C. It would almost be like giving one to Pomms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
