GASabresIUFAN Posted March 16, 2020 Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 No downside and perhaps some upside. We certainly need more depth at forward and following Routsalainen obviously gave us good insight into his teammate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tondas Posted March 16, 2020 Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 (edited) I'm trying to be positive on this but ANOTHER 5' 10" 180 pound winger is uninspiring. But, then again, I'm not a competent NHL GM (yes, that is sarcasm), Edited March 16, 2020 by Tondas 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GASabresIUFAN Posted March 17, 2020 Report Share Posted March 17, 2020 I do love that someone is disparaging a player they have never seen play despite the guy only being 24 and is the 2nd leading scorer in the Liiga and 3rd leading goal scorer in the Liiga. I don't know if he can play in the NHL but I have seen worse ideas. Routsalainen by the way is 18th in points and 40th in goals. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunomatic Posted March 17, 2020 Report Share Posted March 17, 2020 I’m open to anything that makes us better at this point. So damn tired of losing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But even more than losing, I just want a team that is the embodiment of passion, grit, fight, and an FU attitude. We had more of these traits on my HS Hockey team. We were not that great but we never quit and I always knew someone had my back, and I had theirs. I want a team I can like, win or lose. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SABRES 0311 Posted March 17, 2020 Report Share Posted March 17, 2020 (edited) Well duh the Sabres desperately need a winger who can finish. Edit: thought I would the first one to make finish joke.

PerreaultForever Posted March 17, 2020 Report Share Posted March 17, 2020 A Suomi KP/-31 is a Finnish submachine gun that was used in WW2 and copied by the Soviets because of it's accuracy. Machinegun Eemeli, why not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GASabresIUFAN Posted March 18, 2020 Report Share Posted March 18, 2020 My biggest question about a 24 year old Euro is how quickly will he adapt to NA hockey? VO and Pilut spent time in the AHL although both adapted pretty quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGR4GM Posted March 18, 2020 Report Share Posted March 18, 2020 Good thing we found another undersized left winger. Those are rare in our system and hard to find. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
