Eventually this ought to get moved to Sabres Prospects, but I felt this was newsworthy enough to make mention of in the main section of Sabres Hockey.
"Regier Methodically Building A Winner"Another good article up on Maine Hockey Journal by Chris Roy that has the standard stuff. What Regier is doing for the kiddos, veteran signings and departures, blah blah blah...wait, what's this?
Regier also wasn’t shy on the status of Nathan Gerbe and Tim Kennedy, who are just two of 15 forwards fighting for 12 spots. If they earn a spot on the roster, the Sabres will make room for them by either the waiver wire, or trades.
“They been good, both of them,” said Regier. “They’ll get exhibition games, and we’ll have input, from myself, the coaching staff and the organization will have a chance to evaluate them in those games and we’ll have to see where it goes from there.
“If they’re playing at that level, past history suggests we’ll find a way to find spots for them – if they’re ready to play.”That wowed me pretty good, as it's been the first concrete evidence that Regier will do what it takes to put them on the ice this season if they're ready.
This reminds me, I need to invite Chris to the new forums
