Gerbe should go back to the Shire.

I am willing to give him another shot to prove himself. A year older, a year more experience.

Mancari should have been signed and in camp
He should be considered for a spot up here at the very least as a power play specialist

the guy has been called up how many times....he is a wanna-be, never was...Jody Gage burned up the AHL for a decade...total bust as a NHLer.

He has been called up twice and played in like 2-3 games, had a goal too plus as a 100mph slap shot and is only 24, he also changed positions his first yr in Rochester from D to W
at 6ft 3 225lbs plays tuff in front of the net
but i guess he sucks since he hasnt been able to replace the Ruff and Regier Love fest for Hecht, Ellis, Mair, Max when he was here
im just saying cant hurt to have size and a nice shot on the point for the power play

1 goal and 1 assist, 4 PIM and a -4 in a 7 game NHL career....

the likes of Mark Mancari are not going to push the Sabres to the playoffs.

I guess we have room for another 11 goal scorer.

Gee u must really hate him since u had to google the stats
so ur ready for the season then?
the same team as last yr?and the year before that didnt make the playoffs?
sorry man just thought a guy that is offensive minded and big would be a nice change in getting him in front of the net and he has a booming shot
also why do the sabres keep bringing him back then if he sucks?
oh yeah cause he is the leading goal scorer in the AHL affiliate every year
