Drunkard Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 He's perfect for the Sabres. I think they need to call him up right now. Sounds like someone is coming around to the idea of tanking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabres Fan in NS Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 Sounds like someone is coming around to the idea of tanking. NEVER!! Randall and We've got it. And We've would never come around either, Mr. Brawndo, but at least you put the winkie thingie in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drunkard Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 (edited) NEVER!! Randall and We've got it. And We've would never come around either, Mr. Brawndo, but at least you put the winkie thingie in there. I was just kidding, man. I know you and nfreeman are about as staunchly anti tank as they come, among a few others. It's just kind of funny that "promoting" Nylander to the struggling Sabres would probably be benficial to Rochester by giving someone else a shot to produce in his spot for them better than he has. His assist in helping the parent club tanking is really secondary. Edited January 21, 2018 by Alkoholist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His assist in helping the parent club tanking is really secondary. I figured that, but I never give up a chance to make my voice heard. There were very few against the tank. The most vocal from what I remember were nfreeman, We've and myself. I think there were a few others, but not as well voiced in that opinion. The Sabres SOG is terrible each and every game. Not sure, but maybe the lowest in the league. Nylander's awesome SOG draught would have him fit right in on the Sabres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give him a few games on Eichel's wing and see if he sinks or swims at the deep end of the pool. This season is lost anyway. Might as well roll the dice. If Eichel can't get him going move him down to the 3rd line with Reinhart and see what happens. Just make sure to send him back early enough that his contract slides again.

Doohickie Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 They need to have this guy talk to Alex https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cal_Botterill If only there was someone in the organ-EYE-zation who had a connection with this guy... :unsure: I figured that, but I never give up a chance to make my voice heard. There were very few against the tank. The most vocal from what I remember were nfreeman, We've and myself. I think there were a few others, but not as well voiced in that opinion. I was against the tank until I was for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
