dudacek Posted October 11, 2016 Report Share Posted October 11, 2016 Guhle is a great skater and looks pretty assertive out there. But I'm with Blue; I haven't really seen him actually do much. In his defence, I've had limited viewings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrueBlueGED Posted October 11, 2016 Report Share Posted October 11, 2016 ###### it, let's tank again. There's a reason some (many?) of us have been clamoring for more NHL-caliber depth. Guhle is a great skater and looks pretty assertive out there. But I'm with Blue; I haven't really seen him actually do much. In his defence, I've had limited viewings. Right. I don't think he's been bad or anything, but I also don't think he's earned much of anything. Could just be the preferred option until Risto is signed. I'll change my username if the team doesn't start 10-0-0. I laughed a little. Then cried a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrueBlueGED Posted October 11, 2016 Report Share Posted October 11, 2016 (edited) And there's a reason some (many?) of us have been clamoring that Foligno is not worth a 2.25 cap hit. He may not be, but getting rid of him this year wasn't going to do anything to improve our depth. Edit: Honestly, looking at the list of comparable contracts this season...he probably is worth (have to manually sort the list by year) it. http://www.generalfanager.com/contracts/comparables?contract=5132 Edited October 11, 2016 by TrueBlueGED Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GASabresIUFAN Posted October 11, 2016 Report Share Posted October 11, 2016 This doesn't sound like it's the case. Eichel-Larsson-Girgensons-Grant practiced up the middle at practice. With Okposo and O'Reilly looking out for at least the first game we're likely looking at: Kane - Eichel - Reinhart Foligno - Larsson - Ennis Moulson - Girgensons - Fasching/Nylander Deslauriers - Grant - Gionta Is this your lineup or DD's during practice? If this is DD's, is Jack going to play 30 Minutes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Flagg Posted October 11, 2016 Report Share Posted October 11, 2016 I took that to mean that he's where most of us wanted him, the left half-boards. He played there in the preseason. No more of that right point garbage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LGR4GM Posted October 11, 2016 Report Share Posted October 11, 2016 This is the full quote about Guhle. To me it sounds like he stays at least for the west coast trip. “We are going out west for three games,” Bylsma said of the Sabres’ road trip after the season opener. “We are going to be taking seven defensemen. … We’ll go the distance with keeping him around.

Realizing that's not saying much, but there are not many teams that don't look like hot garbage missing 2/3's of their top line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GASabresIUFAN Posted October 11, 2016 Report Share Posted October 11, 2016 IF no ROR or Okposo I'd go with the following for chemistry purposes 1. Kane Jack Sam 2. Moulson Girgensons Ennis - was an effective line 2 years ago when they were our only talent 3. Foligno Larsson Gionta - was effective at the end of last season when we improved 4. Deslauriers Grant Fasching - showed some chemistry in camp. All can play physically and Grant is good in the face off circle and defensively according to DD.

LGR4GM Posted October 11, 2016 Report Share Posted October 11, 2016 Bill Hoppe @BillHoppeNHL 2m2 minutes ago The #Sabres have sent Nick Baptiste, Dan Catenacci, Justin Falk & Alexander Nylander to #Rochester. Brendan Guhle has been sent to the WHL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pi2000 Posted October 11, 2016 Report Share Posted October 11, 2016 In - Grant, Fasching, Nelson Out - Nylander, Guhle (WHL), Baptiste, Catenacci, Falk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huckleberry Posted October 11, 2016 Report Share Posted October 11, 2016 (edited) Seems like logical cuts to me. Wonder if they'll play Reinhart at 2C. Hope they play Nelson over Franson. Playing him sheltered minutes next to Gorges on the third pair might ease him into the NHL life. Franson is pretty much dead weight to me.
