nfreeman Posted March 22, 2016 Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 Interesting. He's good good size and a nice college resume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom webster Posted March 22, 2016 Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 (edited) As I said, this is a good sign. In years past the Sabres have gotten the second level college free agents. This guy is apparently one of the top guys. Ninety percent of these guys turn out to be fringe NHL'ers but everyone once and awhile you find a Dan DeKeyser.

Rasmus_ Posted March 22, 2016 Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 If he was left handed this would be such a perfect signing. However, it just furthers Franson's stay out the window. I think once he's healthy he's out. While I could be completely wrong. I don't think you burn a year on an ELC with a college senior unless you're looking at him for at least a bottom pairing role.

inkman Posted March 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 If it gets Colo out of the lineup, I'm all for it This is like a Chad Rudy part 2? Probably but maybe he turns into dick geyser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LGR4GM Posted March 25, 2016 Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 Bump. I'm excited to see any Defender added but I'll be curious to see if this kid is good enough for the NHL. I feel like he needs to add strength of he's only 6'2" 182lbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudacek Posted March 25, 2016 Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 (edited) He was 22, but any defenceman who scores 33 points as a college sophomore deserves a look. Edited March 25, 2016 by dudacek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like he needs to add strength of he's only 6'2" 182lbs That's hard for me to believe in his early 20's. I assumed it is from his high school year and not up dated.

Rasmus_ Posted March 25, 2016 Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 His first interview was fun. He stated that he liked Buffalo among the others because of the management and staff. To me it reads that he got the burnt year to start with the Sabres, and likes the chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huckleberry Posted March 25, 2016 Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 Ouch says he didn't know much of the sabres and grew up watching the dallas stars :D He did say he never had a favourite team :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJFIVEOH Posted March 25, 2016 Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 Somehow I doubt he knew anything about Sabres management if he didn't even know how to spell 'Sabres' in the first place. http://www.buffalohockeybeat.com/sabres-rookies-hudson-fasching-casey-nelson-ready-for-nhl-careers/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doohickie Posted March 27, 2016 Report Share Posted March 27, 2016 (edited) Somehow I doubt he knew anything about Sabres management if he didn't even know how to spell 'Sabres' in the first place. http://www.buffalohockeybeat.com/sabres-rookies-hudson-fasching-casey-nelson-ready-for-nhl-careers/ Thanks for the link. One game in, everyone's in love with Fasching. Nelson was kind of anonymous out there. He got on the scoring sheet on Fasching's goal. I saw a couple of gaffs that didn't result in goals. Nelson was on the ice for the second WPG goal but if you had to pin it on anyone it seemed the Pysyk fell a half step behind his check and let him in on goal. Still though, I didn't see anything out of Nelson that impressed or disappointed; it was more than he survived his first game. I think you're a little more in the spotlight on defense in that mistakes end up in the back of your goal. Hopefully with more time in practice he'll become more comfortable and we'll get a better feel for his game. At 6-2, 182 lb., I hope he works out like Broheim over the summer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KzAWW23pyZ0 Edited March 27, 2016 by Robin Egg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
