Bodie was captain in AHL wasn't he?

Yes - speculation on Ranger boards is he may have requested a trade to a team who could eventually give him a shot in the bigs.

First move in a long time that I don't know either of these players. Need to do some research.

 

[Kranix]

Is there an article for this trade anywhere yet?

 

[Aladyyn]

Solid little move for Buffalo.

 

[Alluckks]

I liked Bodie

Not really as a hockey player, but as a person atleast

 

[ZiGOODejad]

a nobody for another nobody

Fair enough... its funny cause I had a real good friend that played in the AHL and he said you DO NOT want to be named captain/assistant captain in the AHL cause that means you are there for the long haul and no NHL haha

Rely on you to be the leader for the prospects

Hopefully Bodie can make the Sabres, guy deserves a legit shot

 

[LordNeverLose]

Prefer Bodie for numerous reasons

 

[Yatzhee]

Cat is a 3rd 4th liner in the NHL that has some scoring touch. Just needs a shot is all.

 

[Zynbanejad]

If Bodie is gone in Hartford, who's gonna man the corners and run the pit?!

 

[dire wolf]

Don't know anything about Bodie. Catenacci is super duper fast and put up pretty good numbers in juniors. The rest of his game has been disappointing. Maybe you'll get lucky and he'll be a late bloomer like Paul Byron.

Catenacci was an ohl first overall pick at one point, not sure what he has done since.

no he sucks

 

[Chainshot]

Solid deal for the Amerks. Given the Sabres lack of defense, it wouldn't surprise me if Bodie gets a shot at some point with the Sabres.

 

[Djp]

They need a Dman in Rochester if they trade Kulikov for picks

 

[Chuck Downie]

Nothing. I once thought he'd be a better pro than his teammate Nick Cousins in the Soo and I have been wrong so far.

 

[Yatzhee]

no he sucks

Opinions vary

 

[izzy]

i thought cat had some legit upside

Poot.

 

[Sabres]

Don't know much about Bodie but Catenacci isn't even that good of an AHLer so good trade I guess? Amerks needed D anyways

 

[StuckOutHere]

My understanding is that Catenacci is just stupid fast but can't do anything. Assumptions correct?

yes, doesnt have the size or tools to be an NHLer.
