Weave Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 Tropp has to clear waivers. Über conservative Darcy won't risk losing him, I could see him come down on a conditioning assignment. Given his lack of playing time over the last season and a half I bet he clears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inkman Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 Given his lack of playing time over the last season and a half I bet he clears. He might but Darcy's sphincter is so tight there's no room for Corey to fit through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inkman Posted October 5, 2013 Report Share Posted October 5, 2013 8-1 blowout. The Amerks are lacking in every category that makes a good hockey team. No skill, no toughness, no passion. Good night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inkman Posted October 19, 2013 Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 http://www.amerks.com/recap.asp?gameID=20131018 Amerks beat Marlies, their nemesis. Luke Adam piling up points. Crazy that its takes a guy 5 professional seasons to "get it". Maybe he'll be the difference this season for the Sabres. :flirt: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inkman Posted October 19, 2013 Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 :sick: His opportunity has never been greater. He could slide right onto the top 2 lines with relative ease as there is barely anyone in front of him. He'd just need to be better than Stafford or Ennis.

Hoss Posted October 19, 2013 Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 I don't know whether to be happy Adam seems to still have vitals, or horrified that calling him up could legitimately improve the team. Lately I've been thinking they should just send Grigorenko back to the Q (even though it's a 100% waste of a yearon his deal (but so is playing him on a talentless fourth line) and then calling up Adam. Let Adam be that fourth line center who occasionally goes up on the third. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd even be in favor of loaning him to a KHL team if there was one interested *eagerly awaits the panic* I like the idea, too. But that's a risk that an NHL team would never take. If he snifs success in the 2nd biggest league, he might just stay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robviously Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 I mentioned this very idea at least a week ago. Europe may be the perfect place for him right now. I'm not sure how I feel about sending him to play in the KHL, but I wonder if we could get him to the Swedish or Finnish elite leagues. (Can he learn yet another language?) In any event, they've butchered his development so far. They treated him like a marketing gimmick last year instead of a young player that needed to be developed. Hope it was worth it to sell a few #25 jerseys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope it was worth it to sell a few #25 jerseys. I don't recall which thread I posted it in but I questioned whether it would be wise to loan him to KHL, Swedish Elite league, or maybe one of the other euro leagues. Seems to me that playing against men in high level leagues but not NHL level might be the best thing for him. There is plenty of precedent for loaning players out to other leagues, usually it is done with unwanted players (Ales Kotalik I'm looking at you), but it seems to me that it might make sense in some cases to use it as a developmental tool.

I love it, but it might already be too late. Plus I wonder about his psyche if he's suddenly playing in yet another country and learning yet another language. I would feel so much better about him if we'd have just given him 5 games last year and then sent him back to the Q. Now we're looking at two years of him playing just a few minutes a game on the 4th line. I'm not optimistic about what that'll do to him. Back to the Amerks, I'm looking forward to Risto getting a few games where he can play in all situations and log a lot of ice time. I wouldn't mind leaving him down there until January.

dudacek Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 (edited) Is Risto even making the trip? He was apparently still in Buffalo last night, so it may only be a paper transaction. They are probably just waiting to seal the deal on the Miller /Myers for Yak and a first trade. :devil: Edited October 20, 2013 by dudacek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
