dejeanerret Posted October 2, 2018 Report Share Posted October 2, 2018 https://www.eliteprospects.com/player/127847/remi-elie 23 years old. 14 points in 72 games last season, his first full one. Interesting move. Nothing on paper that jumps out other than he's young and learning the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dejeanerret Posted October 2, 2018 Report Share Posted October 2, 2018 (edited) from Rotowire: One of a number of young prospects to get their feet wet in the NHL last year on an injury-plagued Stars roster, Elie held his own in a checking-line role over 18 games in Dallas. The 22-year-old lacks the skating and creativity to ever be a real offensive threat, but his effort and compete level should make him a useful energy player down the road, and his hockey IQ will allow him to chip in the occasional big goal as he finds himself in the right place at the right time. Seems to be a young Scott Wilson minus the playoff and SC experience. Probably a guy they'll be able to safely move down to Rochester (that is, if no one else put in a waiver claim for him). Otherwise he could be getting an 8 week audition until Wilson returns and they'll have to make a decision.

Taro T Posted October 2, 2018 Report Share Posted October 2, 2018 So who gets sent down / IR'd to make room for him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildCard Posted October 2, 2018 Report Share Posted October 2, 2018 @BJWilsonWGR Elie is a bigger guy (6' 1", 215) who can skate and be a nice depth piece on the wing. Had six goals and 14 points in 72 games with DAL last year. Had fun watching him play with McDavid and DeBrincat in Erie during their run in 2015. Definitely like this addition for the #Sabres.

dudacek Posted October 2, 2018 Report Share Posted October 2, 2018 Fills the Wilson hole. Apparently fast, physical forechecker who was thought to have some upside. Looks like he could fill the bottom six role they were hoping Baptiste might. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Larsson is still not ready to play, he could get IR'd. Wonder if Elie gets Girgensons spot on the 4th line Thursday or if he's the healthy F scratch?

That Aud Smell Posted October 2, 2018 Report Share Posted October 2, 2018 I continue to appreciate JBOT's efforts to improve the team by volume, if nothing else, or, failing that, keep Roch competitive. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IKnowPhysics Posted October 2, 2018 Report Share Posted October 2, 2018 (edited) Dallas gave him a one year extension on July 4th. Must have gotten surprised in camp by Hintz. Bunch of single goal highlights here. Looks speedy, grindy. Got decent usage last year as a call-up-stay-up.

Huckleberry Posted October 2, 2018 Report Share Posted October 2, 2018 (edited) I think Zemgus should be worried for his spot now. Or maybe they have a trade for Zemgus lined up. Edited October 2, 2018 by Huckleberry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woods-racer Posted October 2, 2018 Report Share Posted October 2, 2018 I remember him in Erie. If the puck was chipped in deep he would go in and scrum around till he dropped and cause as much havoc as possible. More times then not McDavid and Debrincat where finding the puck in great scoring places on the ice from the Elie melee. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huckleberry Posted October 2, 2018 Report Share Posted October 2, 2018 (edited) Its what the stars fans are saying, good guy, never quits, got speed and is good on the forecheck. Good 4th line LW role energy guy. Isn't going to create much himself , but also won't hurt your team defensively. Makes up a lot with his speed.

That said, Zemgus is a tank team top 6 now trying to fit in on the bottom 6 where a guy like Elie would be a better fit IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woods-racer Posted October 2, 2018 Report Share Posted October 2, 2018 The most notable attribute I can say I remember is ... He stays on his feet. Won't bowl anyone over or get a clean steal and set up a great pass, but he will stay on his feet and dog-idly skate to retrieve the puck. My memory. What little I have of it.
