Maybe he will be like Grant was....can’t get an NHL goal but scored like a madman in Rochester. Once Nelson comes off IR, don't they have 23 already?

Unless they send Hunwick or Pilut down they will have no spare forwards in the press box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7+6=13 Posted February 3, 2019 Report Share Posted February 3, 2019 I think Elie has skills. I like the way he skates and showed flashes of good puck handling. We're just not the type of team that can afford to give a player like him time with the first two lines - and I think he requires that in order to show any type of promise.

Scottysabres Posted February 3, 2019 Report Share Posted February 3, 2019 No subsequent call up, may very well be Nelson is returning. How many D men would that put on the roster if he does return? Risto, Bogo, Pilut, McCabe, Hunwick, Beaulieu, Scandella, Dahlin That's 8 right there, Nelson would make 9. Carrying 9 d men? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For as much as the kid has his highlight mistakes, he's still a good 3 / 4 d man, I would hate it if he were sent back down. But it is Phil, so who knows...……..

Agreed though that a 5 should not be playing in the A. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MakeSabresGrr8Again Posted February 4, 2019 Report Share Posted February 4, 2019 Maybe if Nelson is close to returning they send him down on a "conditioning" stint and keep Pilut up longer. I can see them sending Pilut down for playoff run if things don't turn around here soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good times. We did say that. But Elie stayed in Buffalo long enough that had Dallas, just like anybody else, decided to claim him they would have had to keep him in the NHL or risk giving him back to Buffalo once again with Buffalo then being able to assign him to Ra-cha-cha anyhow. Had he been waived earlier, there was a very real possibility Dallas would reclaim him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
