mjd1001 Posted January 19, 2018 Report Share Posted January 19, 2018 Up until this summer, I was very high on Baptiste....I thought he could be a legit 25-30 goal scorer in the NHL. But, he showed very little in camp and has regressed in Rochester. Hopefully there is something mentally that kicks in with him. I fear he has more talent than Luke Adam..but may have the same head/heart as him. Prove me wrong please, on the head/heart thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drunkard Posted January 19, 2018 Report Share Posted January 19, 2018 Godspeed, Evander. I hope this is the reason. Kane needs to be traded before he gets injured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

French Collection Posted January 19, 2018 Report Share Posted January 19, 2018 I hope this is the reason. Kane needs to be traded before he gets injured. I've been saying this for a while now. Waiting until the deadline to try and get maximum value risks having him get his annual 15-20 game injury and becoming untradeable. Then he leaves July 1st.

Rasmus_ Posted January 19, 2018 Report Share Posted January 19, 2018 He's behind Pu, Bailey and Nylander for me and falling possibly as far back as behind Olofsson. The speed is great, but he has regressed from a few seasons ago. Here's hoping he can prove that his skating and timing can put some goals into the net. We need some more speed up top for sure. Forcing a player back and not having to watch scrubs like Nolan again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GASabresIUFAN Posted January 19, 2018 Report Share Posted January 19, 2018 (edited) This is unlikely a sign Kane has been traded or will be soon. The flu is going around the locker room. I suspect someone else is sick. If Kane is being traded, a roster player is coming back in the deal and therefore no call up is likely needed.

Could be flu, but if the trade happens this afternoon and it's to a west coast team the replacement player may not be able to make it for a 1 pm ET game.

I agree and would be thrilled if the reason was the Kane trade, but I doubt it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see more of a 3rd / 4th liner who may score 15 but can play up in the lineup in a pinch. Would be interested to hear what the coaches say about his defensive game. Think he has been killing Penalties in Rochester. Speed alone should be an improvement over some of the current roster players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doohickie Posted January 19, 2018 Report Share Posted January 19, 2018 The speed aspect is what made me think it could be a roster replacement in a Kane trade. His speed would backfill for Kane's adequately until the other player got to Buffalo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SabresFanInRochester Posted January 19, 2018 Report Share Posted January 19, 2018 I see (from Paul Hamilton's tweet) that Okposo is not on the ice today. Not to speculate, but perhaps Okposo has the flu and is not making the West Coast trip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All it takes is a bad slash that breaks a bone in his hand or a high ankle sprain or something else along those line and we're . He's less likely to be injured with the way he's been playing recently, but he's also been significantly less effective and productive.

He's less likely to be injured with the way he's been playing recently, but he's also been significantly less effective and productive. Of course to the first and last parts, but he is paid to play. I’m less likely to be injured if I don’t leave the house, butI still do once or twice a month. *runs with scissors* Point being, he’s not had his annual injury because he’s toned his game down. We don’t need to sweat if he’ll survive until deadline day any more than we need to sweat any other playet not named Bogosian.

That's how I'd do it. Do I want to spend April playing on Pittsburgh in playoff action for the first time in my life, or do I want to spend March on the couch with a bum shoulder watching my stupid Sabre teammates?

Randall Flagg Posted January 19, 2018 Report Share Posted January 19, 2018 Hamilton tweets that Okposo isn't practicing, so that's probably why? Which sucks, KO was giving us some good hockey lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brawndo Posted January 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2018 Per Phil Housley, maintenance day for Kyle Okposo today. Nathan Beaulieu and Jacob Josefson skated on their own today. #Sabres Per Bill Hoppe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
