This is Bryson and his 254 career GP erasure! 

If Bryson is the 7-8, Mrtka eventually gets sent down, and Muel continues to miss time... eventually Bryson will get in the lineup for the Sabres this season. And if he does, here are some folks who are within range for him to pass on the all-time Sabres regular season games played list:

Darryl Shannon (255), Rhett Warrener (266), Pat LaFontaine (268), Rick Dudley (279), Matt Ellis (286)

We'll start saying "The Jacob Bryson of..."

Day to day during training camp is probably the equivalent of icing a bruise during the season. They’re not going to mess with even the most minor thing. 

[matter2003]

Can we agree to only start threads on Greenway, Norris and Samuelsson to announce they are healthy rather than injured?  I feel like that would be a more productive thread, since saying they are injured again is almost obvious at this point.

Why did we make this dude a captain AGAIN?

I'm surprised no one has brought up the question of: "was camp too hard?" 😜

More like Samuelsson weak to weaker.

What's the point of Samuelsson? He's the concept of kassian but as a defender. 

HIs father and uncle played in the NHL, he should have good genes and learned something from them. Note I said should.

Ulf isn’t his uncle. Was there another Samuelsson that I’m not aware of?

I doubt it happens, he makes above league minimum too, although many teams have the space.

Baby steps, KA caves in and waives him first. I would love him to get claimed, be done with him until his return tribute video that KA personally produces narrates.

FTFY.  😉

Right, his father. The original post mentioned his uncle playing in the NHL too.

Let's just call it as it is.

 

Sameulsson... Year to year

Can't believe this one slid right by; it's quality humour it is.

I messed up, I just assumed Ulf and Kjell were brothers.

I think just about everyone did. I didn’t figure that out until Matias showed up in the NCAA.

I’m glad the Sabres are paying Samuelsson to sit on his ass every season for 30-40+ games. Definitely deserving of the A

For his own good I want Mrtka sent down, even if he is "better" than what we have due to injuries, we don't need him tainted by this staff right now.  Another year in Juniors is not going to hurt him.  We wont be 19 until June and I think its best to save the 8 -9 games for next season.    Play R Johnson and Novikov instead.  R Johnson certainly looks ready to be given a legitimate shot.  

While we can admire Bryson for hanging around in the NHL for 5 season and 254 games, Byson playing more games than Darryl Shannon (255), Rhett Warrener (266), Pat LaFontaine (268), and Rick Dudley (279), just shows the commitment to not winning in the Pegula era.  This will be his 6th season on the team.   All in the Adams era.  

Adams got rid of Eichel, Reinhart, Montour, McCabe, and Ullmark and proclaims that Bryson is a player he loves.  Ok,  that explains a lot.

The A should be taken away, but I doubt that it will now that we are down to 3 A's instead of the silly 4 A experiment.
