Sabres Fan in NS Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 I hate these guys almost as much as I hate the Bruins. So, just beat these guys. I don't care how, just win, baby. GO SABRES!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inkman Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 I think with Ennis on the cusp of returning the Sabres had to make a choice between Grant or Bailey. I think it's obvious Grant has maxed out his NHL potential while Bailey hopefullly can continue to grow.Derek Grant is an AHL playerGrant was picked up by the Leafs.Just to the Amerks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksabre Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 Grant was picked up by the Leafs. He was not. That tweet is somewhat unclear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mustache of God Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 A little off topic to the game thread but how to waiver claims work? If a team claims Grant can they send him straight to the AHL or would have have to remain in the NHL in order for them to claim him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doohickie Posted January 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 Grant was picked up by the Leafs. Where he will put up 17 goals between now and the end of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Aud Smell Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 Where he will put up 17 goals between now and the end of the season. There is literally no risk of this happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattPie Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 Bailey and DLo are both playing, making Grant unnecessary. Why? He had the puck on his stick. Re: McCabe interference: Just a joke, based on the 5-minute major he got for this similar-looking hit.

Paille touches the puck and lunges head first at McCabe who just stands his ground. 5 and a game? Not even close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pi2000 Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 This game could put them over .500, which typically means they come up small and go a 3-4 game losing streak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the last game of the year (I think), the Bruins were headed to the playoffs and we weren't. If that game was being played in the middle of the season I don't think they would have called it.

Thorny Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 (edited) If Grant is on waivers then who takes his spot in the lineup tonight? Tonight will be Jack's 100th game Byslma to apparently treat Reinhart as a double agent tonight: 3rd line center and top 6 winger What does that even mean? Does Gionta get half the shifts then? Carrier. Was out with the flu before today. Edited January 10, 2017 by Thorny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've nailed how I feel about tonight. I have hopes but they are being suppressed until we look like we've changed in this regard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huckleberry Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 the only way D-Lo is playing over grant in my mind is that he can fight :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doohickie Posted January 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 Grant is an AHLer maxed out to play in the NHL. DLo is bottom-six NHLer who brings toughness but will get squeezed out of this roster when the developing wings emerge out of the AHL.

Deslauriers may be the worst forward to play a regular shift in the NHL. Edit: Just looked, he has the worst CF% of all skaters, both F and D, of any NHL player that has played as many minutes as he has.

Not saying they are better, they just appear to be worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying they are better, they just appear to be worse. Which stats? All three have more goals and points, and all three are around 10% better in CF% and FF%.

Doohickie Posted January 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 Next year he'll be bumped down into permanent 13th forward if he's even on the team. He's still got another year on his contract, but I'm just not sure if there's room for him next year. We'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
