Tondas Posted November 11, 2018 Report Share Posted November 11, 2018 With the encouraging start, I forgot the Sabres even had Hunwick. Not sure what injury he has but it is obviously long-term. Since he's a Pittsburgh guy, you think JBOT knew the injury was long term and would not be a factor for CAP purposes, thereby making the trade more palatable for Buffalo? If it's a career-ending injury,, that would apply to next year as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudacek Posted November 11, 2018 Report Share Posted November 11, 2018 It’s been clandestine enough I am starting to doubt whether he is even real. No one has ever seen him in Buffalo, correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwampD Posted November 11, 2018 Report Share Posted November 11, 2018 I've been underwhelmed by Sheary. He falls too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudacek Posted November 11, 2018 Report Share Posted November 11, 2018 Sheary is small and quick, Okposo is big and strong, but they essentially bring the same thing: middle-six offence, forechecking, effort and turnovers. You can win with guys like that in the right roles 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many more of our skaters appear to be in their actual proper spots this go around and the benefits of that aren't negligible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want a whole team of Shearys but he's been a valuable part of the team thus far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs to sharpen his skates, for sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
