Weber and Gerbe sent to Portland

The Sabres have just announced officially that Mike Weber and Nathan Gerbe have been sent to Portland. There is no official word on the roster status of Tyler Myers or Tim Kennedy at this time but, at least in Kennedy's case, things look good because they would have already told him to leave for Portland as well.

Mind of Joe
Not a complete shock on Gerbe. Gerbe is a scorer, who hasn't found the scoring touch yet in Buffalo. And we all know that if you can't score and you're not exactly a force on the other end of the ice, Ruff will have no use for you. I'm sure we will see Gerbe make a cameo here and there for the Sabres. 

As for Weber, the kid intrigues me because he can hit. But it also can be good news for Myers fans who want to see him stick around the parent club. 


UPDATE:
The Sabres appear to be keeping Tim Kennedy and Tyler Myers.

  1. im disappointed in weber. he has regressed tremendously if you ask me. he had an injury plagued year last season and that missed time is showing. he is real sloppy with the puck, that is, more turnovers than a bakery.

    sure he can hit, and provides a little stiffness on the back end but with the addition of montador, his playing chances this year are nil unless an injury occurs. i think another season in the AHL will help but he needs to improve his puck moving ability, at least in terms of when and where to put the puck when he is in possesion in his own zone.

  2. He's regressed, but he hasn't been able to stay up in buffalo for long///the sabres were force feeding gerbe down our throat last year..letting him play 5 games at a time..i'd like them to do the same for webber and kennedy.
