Randall Flagg Posted November 3, 2016 Report Share Posted November 3, 2016 Have the Sabres called up a defenseman from Rochester? Who would it be, anyway?Nope, Nelson was with the team in Minnesota. Falk is probably the guy they'd bring from Rochester, that may be wrong though. God help us if another defenseman gets hurt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueBlueGED Posted November 3, 2016 Report Share Posted November 3, 2016 But Bogosian's career history shows that he misses more games per year than Myers. On top of that, he makes about $1.5-3 million less per year over the length of his contract than Bogo. I want to like him, but the dude needs to stay healthy and play like a top-2 defenseman in order to justify that contract. Not sure where you got your cap figures from, but Bogo is actually a few hundred thousand cheaper than Myers annually. Regardless, it's too much for what he brings even without the injuries. Nope, Nelson was with the team in Minnesota. Falk is probably the guy they'd bring from Rochester, that may be wrong though. God help us if another defenseman gets hurt Not even God is that powerful.

LGR4GM Posted November 3, 2016 Report Share Posted November 3, 2016 God help us if anyone else gets hurt. We still need another year or two of good prospect development to get some depth in the Org. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Aud Smell Posted November 3, 2016 Report Share Posted November 3, 2016 Hamilton just tweeted that Kane is going to try out taking contact this week, and, depending how that goes, he may be back within a week or so. Sounds optimistic to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just took their annual salaries from nhlnumbers.com, though I understand there is a difference between cap hits and salaries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds optimistic to me. GMTM was on GR and confirmed this. Kane said to Murray I can play tonight. Eichel is on schedule in his recovery. Guhle can be called up on an emergency recall per GMTM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorny Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 I'm exceptionally interested to see how the Trouber (I think his name in a Boston accent, dunno why) situation unfolds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pi2000 Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 I'm exceptionally interested to see how the Trouber (I think his name in a Boston accent, dunno why) situation unfolds. If he doesn't sign by Dec 1, he can't play this season. What does WPG need? Would they take Girgensons and Ennis for Toooba? Hamilton just tweeted that Kane is going to try out taking contact this week, and, depending how that goes, he may be back within a week or so. Sounds optimistic to me. That sounds very optimistic. Part of me doesn't want him back yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildCard Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 (edited) So Thanksgiving. Better than all season I guess. Sounds like Kane comes back before that at least Edited November 4, 2016 by WildCard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woods-racer Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 Just some fun interjection here on my personal experience with multiple broken ribs. The act of getting on a toilet in the seated position is a painful challenge, gravity was your friend. Getting one's self up from that position takes all of your core muscles that are directly connected to one's ribs. Very painful indeed, almost as bad as sneezing. I could force back a sneeze.

LGR4GM Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 .@DarrenDreger on Eichel "My understanding it is going to be another 3 weeks or 4 weeks" :( Makes sense. Even if he can start practicing again next week it will take another few weeks to strengthen the leg and get him up to speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should be trying to come back every week. Kane may suck, but he hates being out and does everything he can to get back quickly And here comes 50 posts telling me 'Jack does care. You don't know him! Leave him alone!' :D Edited November 4, 2016 by WildCard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pi2000 Posted November 5, 2016 Report Share Posted November 5, 2016 I have very little faith in the Pegula medical training staff. Whatever they're doing with the Bills is a complete disaster, unfortunately the Sabres aren't immune to their mismanagement of injuries. That said, I expect Eichel back second or third week of December with a few setbacks into early Jan where he my need to sit out a few games before ultimately being placed on season ending IR.

K-9 Posted November 5, 2016 Report Share Posted November 5, 2016 I don't. He should be trying to come back every week. Kane may suck, but he hates being out and does everything he can to get back quickly And here comes 50 posts telling me 'Jack does care. You don't know him! Leave him alone!' :D Coming back from high ankle sprains are most often complicated by trying to come back too soon. It's bad enough that the injury will more than likely linger the entire season and Eichel will be at less than 100% as it is. Rushing him back would be the worst thing they can do. The assumption is Jack cares. Why wouldn't it be? I mean other than your own impatience with his injury? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
