Eleven Posted September 13, 2018 Report Share Posted September 13, 2018 (edited) 12 hours ago, Randall Flagg said: I think I've hit a point where I wouldn't blink if Bailey was waived and claimed, except for Eleven's rooting interest. I've kind of hit that point myself. I mean, I know my parents and their friends will be disappointed if he doesn't play with the Sabres, but that's it. All the speed in the world doesn't matter if Bailey won't go into corners and battle. But I do think some coach, somewhere in the NHL, will be tempted by that speed and pick him up.

GASabresIUFAN Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 So Hunwick is out. Sheary out week to week. Bogo already not skating and Malone injured as well. We all knew that Bogo was never going to make it through the season. I myself thought he should end up on LTIR permanently. Put him on the shelf for the season and lets move on. SIgn Dotchin from TB and get him into shape to replace Bogo. Guhle chances of making this club has just increased dramatically. I'm not to worried about Sheary. Skinner's arrival slid Sheary down the depth chart anyway. With NHLers like Erod, Wilson, Girgensons and Sobotka plus prospects like Nylander, Smith, and Olofsson we have a ton of candidates to fill Sheary shoes short term and maybe longer. I'm hoping that ERod seizes the opportunity and wins a top 6 role. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missing Sheary puts a solid damper on the start of the season for me honestly, just hoping he's not out too long. I'm guessing it's a shoulder or his ribs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randall Flagg Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 We still don't have NHL depth like the good teams do, with like, good and great players. Sheary missing any time would absolutely sting. We're still going to probably have 1-2 actual bad forwards on the ice with a healthy lineup. We aren't out of any sort of woods in that regard organizationally yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being an AHLer geting time in the show on a real line; not as likely. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, we're certainly still not among the elite in that regard but, as Taro noted, we should be able to place guys on a reasonable line for their overall ability and skillset. That's something we haven't had in years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Buffalo Posted September 19, 2018 Report Share Posted September 19, 2018 Gonna be interesting to start assuming Sheary and Sam probably out to start at this rate. Bailey played better last night, put him on 4th line forecheck with Sobotka and maybe CJ Smith/Baptiste. 3rd line of Mitts and Erod and Pommer/CJ Smith, 2nd line of Berglund Nylander and Thompson. Jack, Skinner and OK on 1. When and if both come back drop Pommer and Baptiste. Keep 2nd line together and make it interchangeable with 3rd line. PS nice to actually see some D depth.. Pilut looking good... Borgen strong as well... let Bogosian heal. 1st two D pairs we saw last night third pair??? Nelson and or Pilut and Beaulieu or Ghule.. not sure Ghule sometimes seems to have a deer in headlights thing going on, like he still cant believe he is where he is... needs to settle down and just play D. Like Nylander you hope light switch gets turned on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And while I don't mind them hanging around in Rochester and providing injury depth, unless they really have breakthroughs I don't see missing them if other teams claim them. When it comes to waiver claims, the whole thing is such a crap shoot. I think they'd clear too, but all it takes is one GM who has always been enamored with a certain player since he was drafted. Is Darcy still in the Phoenix organization? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the depth does have significant value to the organization. We've seen plenty of cases where that first wave of recalls can make or break a season. Jason Pominville is the perfect example. I'm not going to say that is who either guy is, especially since for every Pominville, there's probably 10 Chris Thorburns (granted, a guy who stuck around for a long, respectable career).

Doohickie Posted September 19, 2018 Report Share Posted September 19, 2018 Point taken. I think Bailey and Baptiste may develop into full-time NHLers, but I don't see ceilings of much higher than JAGs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
