Trettioåtta Posted April 2, 2017 Report Share Posted April 2, 2017 Is this not somewhat premature? We're basically using the remainder of the season to assess what talent we have. Similar to pre-season. Might as well get some benefit from this lost season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueBlueGED Posted April 2, 2017 Report Share Posted April 2, 2017 Is this not somewhat premature? I think he'll be better in the NHL than he was in Rochester. Assuming he's put with talent, anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildCard Posted April 2, 2017 Report Share Posted April 2, 2017 I think he'll be better in the NHL than he was in Rochester. Assuming he's put with talent, anyway.Don't worry, he'll be the 4th line center somehow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubkev Posted April 2, 2017 Report Share Posted April 2, 2017 Don't worry, he'll be the 4th line center somehow He's playing D tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trettioåtta Posted April 2, 2017 Report Share Posted April 2, 2017 I think he'll be better in the NHL than he was in Rochester. Assuming he's put with talent, anyway. Compared to his brother, he has had a very udner whelming AHL season. I believe scouts still rank him highly, otherwise I would be worried we had the Jared Staal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to directly compare their first seasons as a result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winston Posted April 2, 2017 Report Share Posted April 2, 2017 Maybe this deserves its own thread ( :P ), but.... What number will Nylander wear? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueBlueGED Posted April 2, 2017 Report Share Posted April 2, 2017 Maybe this deserves its own thread ( :P ), but.... What number will Nylander wear? 75053435421. It'll go up one arm, across the back, and down the other arm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudacek Posted April 2, 2017 Report Share Posted April 2, 2017 If he s not playing on either Eichel's or O'Reilly's wing then this is pointless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kas23 Posted April 2, 2017 Report Share Posted April 2, 2017 Is this not somewhat premature? Same thing was done with Rinehart and many, many young players. Give him a taste of what the NHL is all about and have him identify what he needs to work on. This is not a surprise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured we might not see him this year, so I'm surprised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they just want him to gain some perspective. See what all this work is for. They probably expect him to have his ass handed to him.

North Buffalo Posted April 3, 2017 Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 meh it doesnt matter... Blysma still sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I-90 W Posted April 3, 2017 Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 Some good news for once, will be interesting to see him play at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taro T Posted April 3, 2017 Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 I think he'll be better in the NHL than he was in Rochester. Assuming he's put with talent, anyway. Why would he get to play w/ talent? He needs to EARN thst opportunity. (As D'lo licks his lips at being winger on the Eichel - O'Reilly line.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Flagg Posted April 3, 2017 Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 He'll be centering Reinhart and Moulson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Buffalo Posted April 3, 2017 Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 He'll be centering Reinhart and Moulson LOL, unfortunately, more of a chance happening then DD being fired and Murray the interim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvelo Posted April 3, 2017 Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 Probably. I just know he hasn't had the best year in a A. I figured we might not see him this year, so I'm surprised. Hopefully the Sabres "braintrust" won't get this kid injured as they attempt the dog and pony show for the few fans that remain in these last few meaningless games.
