I say he sees 20 games max then. With an over/under of 10 games.

And more penalty mins than TOI...lol.

I don't care where he plays as long as he fills his role.

However, if you're going to insult someone and say they 'lost credibility', then you should probably get your facts straight first.

I guess you ignored these tidbits.

Totally never played defense.

This whole fight about him being a dman or forward is pretty stupid. He's played both positions mostly on the defensive side though. Either way he's the exact same player if he were defenseman or a forward. He sucks. He's good for about 3 PTS. He's here for an enforcer role nothing more.

Holy...you REALLY care that I "insulted" some 3rd party blogger/writer? Someone who was cited by a poster, but doesn't even post here???

My facts ARE straight. My first post said he's played forward for two years now. I know damn well he USED to be a d-man. At this time in his career he's a forward, and Buffalo doesn't have any room for him on defense even if they wanted him there.

I call out the inaccuracy of some random internet guy who described Buffalo as now having two big and tall d-men, and then you crap on me as if it should really matter to you. I haven't insulted anyone here, yet you develop a problem with me about it. Same old shit, different day.

Yes I agree, his 20 games with 3 mins TOI isn't worth much discussion. I simply thought I would make it known that he's a forward now, because he's incredibly slow and would be a serious liability on Buffalo's d-corps. He can be much less of a liability as a forward.

Yep. You're still oversensitive and can't handle it when someone calls you out for making a dumb statement.

The fact of the matter is Scott has played at both F and D, and anyone who refers to him TODAY as a defenseman isn't exactly wrong. Sure, the Sabres PROBABLY aren't going to use him back there. Doesn't mean he couldn't play back there if they asked him to.

The guy from Dobber wasn't wrong when he called Scott a defenseman. End of story. You were wrong to say he has no credibility because of that.

Not oversensitive, because it's only you nipping at my heels all the damn time. Sounds like rightful agitation to me. I didn't get irritated until you brought up "spinning", after saying he's played his whole career as a d-man. Maybe you misunderstood my initial post as stating that he's never been a d-man, but I said he's been a "forward for two years now" which should've inferred he wasn't a forward prior to that.

FWIW, I wasn't calling the guy out for saying he was a d-man. I called him out for saying he'll be a d-man in Buffalo, after regurgitating the same old unsubstatiated Roy crap. That's the difference between a regular fan talking hockey, and a guy apparently making a living out of reporting hockey. One can make a mistake, one should know the details. He's no different than other hockey reporters on bigger name sites like ESPN or TSN that know hockey, but don't know the Sabres well enough and make mistakes in their articles. People like us can call them out for it. It's what we're allowed to do as fans and a regular function of online sports forums. Didn't realize YOU would be so "oversensitive" about my opinion of some reporter that doesn't even post here. But yeah, it's all me...

Jesus. Seriously guys?

Yeah well I can do a no handed "the goat". Yeah wrap your brain around that.

I am thinking Scott can be the dragon they steal from the park. More of a novelty then something you actually have a use for. Sure it is pretty badass for a house party every month or so but you just look like an ass if he's out there 9 out of 10 occasions. I mean it's a big ass doofy dragon. Who really gives two squirts of piss if the doofy ass dragon lumbers around on defense or as a winger? As long as he cracks Charas and Lucic's skulls together like a monkey trying to pry open a coconut I could care less.

I'd like to think Scott could enforce with guys like Lucic or Chara, but even if he gets the chance to be out there with them (at home when Ruff has last change), they won't fight him. Maybe Thronton would, but those other guys will be told, if they don't know better already, about what a horrible trade off it is to get a major or 10 min misconduct for messing with an ogre that has no skill value on the ice.

Scott's best use will be as a potential threat, but I doubt many will throw down with him, at least not the guys we'll want to see Scott pummel. It'll still be a little fun to watch if he hets out there with McCormick and Kaleta...for all of 3 mins anyway.

HAHAHA totally true. Makes this deal completely worth it to recapture the lost PP time.......
