Re: Sabres are STACKED with Young D men

One thing that bothers me: None of them are particularly tough. Well, I don't really know anything about Pearson or Brennan, but Myers is a beanpole and none of the others have shown that mean streak that the Sabres desperately need.

Weber is pretty damn tough and has a nasty streak to him.

Weber definitly has grit.
Butler is not a pushover.
Brennen is supposed to have an edge
Myers is like 19 years old. He will fill out trust me. From what I heard from the world Juniors he was delivering big checks all tourney.
Pearsen/Gragnani are puck movers.
Sekera is in the Campbell mold.

They definitely have some good young talent. I would trade one or more in a package to get a proven, veteran defenseman that brings more stability to this lockerroom. It's definitely a nice situation to be in.

Butler is young, but he has looked absolutely horrible the last couple games. I have never seen any D man play as bad as Butler did in the Calgary game.

We'll be lucky to get 2 to 3 of those players on the roster constantly.

It is a virtual LOCK to have at least 4 of them regulars.

Sekera and Butler already are.
Weber is close.
You would assume Myers will be.

One real bad game. I have seen players have just as bad a games back in the day.

Mike Weber

Talent Analysis
A tough, defensive-minded player that can make the long pass out of his own zone. He has a hard shot and takes pride in finishing his checks. He has improved his offensive game to a respectable level, and did not look out of place in a scattering of NHL games last season

TJ Brennen

Talent Analysis
Brennan is a very good athlete with size, but is still developing in the technical aspects of the game. He was an accomplished high school lacrosse player, and did not focus solely on hockey until 2006. Based on his background, he is a fluid skater, but still needs to improve moving in the close quarters of the defensive zone. He brings a hard shot and ability to pinch in on offense, allowing him to contribute on the power play. His talent, physical style of play, and willingness to learn make him a well-rounded prospect with a good amount of upside

on the whole, he hasn't been that bad, but he was brutal in that Calgary game. He made mistakes that I used to chew guys out for making on my rec roller hockey team back in HS. That's just inexcusable.
