Buffalo Sabres and Gerbe?

Question

How do you think that the two will mesh this season? Gerbe is a high scorer and very fast skater that I think will go very well with Afinogenov and a few other of Buffalo's fast, play producers. Opinions?

Answer 1

Gerbe I dounbt will be up this yr. He's very small at 5-6 and is at least 2yrs away in my opinion. I could see Kennedyc oming up late though. Gerbe will be a boom or bust in my mind. Not everyone can paly that small. He could be Martin St. Louis and Theoren Flurey or he could be a guy who can't get out of Portland. I hope it's the first

Answer 2

i think grebe will be good in buffalo but it was dumb to trade briere.

Answer 3

I cant wait to see him play.

I think he'll fit in just right.

They need to get back to being able to roll four fast lines like they did a couple of years ago.

ALso I think Kalinin, Lydman, Spacek and Tallinder are going to have MUCH improved years defensively.

People need to stop picking on Afinogenov. Everyone had an off season. Especially Miller. Afinogenov will be back to his dominant self this next season.

Answer 4

Gerbe is a perfect fit for the traditional image held of a Buffalo Sabre Player, small, fast skilled forward with a knack for scoring.

PS: Briere left as a UFA, he wasn't traded

Answer 5

Potentially, I think he fits the mold, like you said, a fast little power house. I also agree with Jacoby, I'm afraid fo Bernier complex, come out swinging then crash and burn...ok, so Bernier wasn't that bad, but you get my drift.

If he can bring a lot of the same skill as Afinogenov, but control it better, it might eb a smart move.
