Per Ruff Jason Zucker will miss some time

[Brawndo]

Per His Radio Appearance on WGR550

Östlund is not eligible to return until he plays one game with the Amerks in Belleville tomorrow 

[Pimlach]

Of course Zucker is hurt.  Not a bit surprised.  
 

Bring up Rosen.  

[Sidc3000]

Why bring Östlund back up into this ***** show? He’s not saving the day so unless you want him to learn how to be a loser, then keep him in Rochester. Bring up some other scrub that has no chance to ever make the NHL.

It doesn’t matter who we bring up. Until the mngt and coaching staff are cleaned out this culture will not begin to change. Most of these players won’t be Sabres anymore by the time those changes occur, if they occur.

The best a player drafted by the Sabres can hope for right now is to ride out the rights time or flat out demand to be moved. These players careers are stuck in purgatory while they wear a Sabres uniform as of now.

I kind of like this one-game non-paper AHL transaction rule. But I also know there will be a rash of injuries in Buffalo right before the AHL playoff roster deadline and suddenly Rosen and/or Östlund will have to magically be in two places at once --- and the Amerks will go into the playoffs without on their best offensive threats.

This team is done

If we had decent goaltending, we'd have 3-4 more wins right now... Maybe more if you look at all the OTL's. It's still on Adams though and his ineptitude to address this in 6 years.

The loss of Zucker amplifies a big issue this team has. That is the lack of scoring from the left wing. The lineup last night 

Greenway  1 goal 

Benson       0 goals 

Malenstyn  3 goals 

Zucker        9 goals   5 of which were on the power play. 

The loss of Peterka has really hurt us in this area of the game. We can't put together a line that scores with consistency without that threat from the left wing. Peterka filled in for Skinner who despite his flaws put a lot of goals in the net with Thompson and Tuch. Of the Amerks, Östlund is the most Natural left winger. I am not sure if he is ever going to be a 30 goal guy. Rosen is a lefty but like Peterka is listed a a right winger. Neither should be on the top line but I guess we have nothing else go with. 

I know goaltending is bad but we can't ignore how bad the offense is and the problem is left of center.
