Thorny Posted November 15, 2016 Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 I too like Carrier, but am I off-base for finding it a bit weird that the team Tweeted the news? Like - what if the guy bombs in his first four shifts and is immediately moved off that line? Just -- seems odd. User Actions Follow Buffalo SabresVerified account[/size]@BuffaloSabres Promoted: William Carrier's impressive play has earned him a promotion to our top line - http://bufsabres.co/u7e9MJ 3:31 PM - 14 Nov 2016[/size] Especially cause, well, I like the guy and how he's played, but what has he done to truly earn top line NHL minutes? Play hard? We are talking National Hockey League top line duties, here. Him moving to top line is more an indicator of the lack of production we've been getting on our top line from others, and he's the next in line for a shot. It's a weird tweet. It makes it seem like he's beating out other viable options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJFIVEOH Posted November 15, 2016 Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 Maybe Goober vowed to incorporate every single possible line combination by the end of the season and this is just next in the rotation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabel79 Posted November 16, 2016 Report Share Posted November 16, 2016 Casey Nelson to Rochester. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GASabresIUFAN Posted November 16, 2016 Report Share Posted November 16, 2016 Casey Nelson to Rochester. This is disappointing. I had high hopes for him this season. With all the injuries, it would have been nice to get a D with real NHL experience to be the 7th D. Mike Weber anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthEbriate Posted November 16, 2016 Report Share Posted November 16, 2016 Casey Nelson to Rochester. This means Kulikov is ready to go, I presume. Nelson gets lots of minutes in the AHL where he belongs and Falk is now our 7 (6 until Bogosian is back)? This lineup is better with Kulikov, so I'll take it.

Taro T Posted November 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2016 Casey Nelson to Rochester. Good. He'll get a chance to not always be on edge and hopefully his development will get back on track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doohickie Posted November 16, 2016 Report Share Posted November 16, 2016 I think Falk has been the better player the last few games. He seems like he's learning to use his wingspan to his advantage, and hustles pretty well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qwksndmonster Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 I think Baptiste or Carrier should get to play with Larsson over Rodrigues. And Dan is so close to putting Kane with Larsson. Only 2 more months before he exhausts every other possible combination of players and tries it for 2 games.

I'm worried Kane is too dumb to play with Larsson though. He's just dumb enough to play with Girgs IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gionta on the first line? Rodrigues on the third instead of Carrier/Bailey? I know we have been complaining about goal scoring, but looking at that lineup I don't see where we are even going to have sustained zone time, let alone a goal. Woof.
