pretty sure only you agreed with me

everyone else said I was crazy

I'm happy nylander is going to Sweden one of the smartest decisions go kick some ass at World Juniors

My guess is that this was the plan all along. Buffalo just didn't want to release him for the full camp term.

Who are we talking about?

How anyone is defending Murray still blows my mind

He failed in MANY respects...
Whether Botts ends up doing a good job or not has no bearing in his extremely justified firing

And he’s been gone a while now
It’s not like he’s coming back

What bothered me was how enamored with him the media became, like with no results behind it. It was weird

This will help him gain some confidence and maybe it will transfer over

If nylander doesn't completely dominate, it's bust territory.

Just finished making 2 dozen suicidal deviled eggs for work food day tomorrow .

There was an interview done with a Swedish scout over in Sweden last year who pretty much said that Alex Nylander's game was tailored more towards the NHL than the AHL. I don't know how much of that I believe, but it's pretty much the kid's and the team's only hope at this point.

He was part carnival barker, like rex. Makes their jobs exciting.

Erod made a similar comment. He said something about there being more room to work in the nhl. Defenseman back off. D stand you up more in the ahl.

Sabres really need him to pan out as a top 6

I think that’s definitely possible, but you rarely see guys picked that high struggle to score in the AHL, and then go on to be really good NHL’ers

If he dominates and shows he can be ready? I'm sure he will get a call up. We are due for a forward injury. It's the only excuse we haven't used this season.

go stuff a few eggs in your mouth and only take 18 to work

This tournament will be GMJB's excuse to give Nylander an extended look at the NHL and play with Jack. He'll have a helluva tournament and GMJB will say that he earn a call up as a result.

Is the a forward who's known to miss time every season? Shoulder? Ribs?

I'm not saying I buy it. I'm just not dismissing it either.

But we have seen ahl scorers do nothing in the nHL too

The resale market for the Winter Classic is below face value everywhere. Bad investment on my part.

At this point , I think I would settle for nylander being just a good NHLer. 20/20 guy with speed.

Agreed.
I wouldn’t expect anyone to know this, but who would be an example of a player who played well in the NHL after flaming out in the AHL.
I just don’t see it, but at this point I’m hoping for a miracle.

I'm in on it too. Sold 3 out the 8 investment tickets. Up $19 each. Probably lose on the others. Hoping a family of 5 gets the urge.

I think most of the buffalo people bailed. I'm going, but with the bills/dolphins game showing some importance, I think it's an easy choice.

Warm and meaningful game
Cold and meaningless
