Prospect Info: Jacob Bryson (2017, 99th) signed 3 year ELC, ATO with Rochester

[Der Jaeger]

I call it like I see it. Good story to have come this far, but the time is overdue for a change.

Missed the perfect opportunity to bust out a Days of Thunder Robert Duval line.

“I don’t want you to be spoiled Buck….”

I get it. I wanted to trade my son, Olofsson.

One step closer to missing the playoffs 15 years in a row.

If he’s the #7 going forward, then extending him is roughly as silly as signing some other random guy we’ve never heard of with a similar lack of impact.

Hell, I can see the “this is your big move Kev? sell the team now” in that players thread already. We’re just wired to want the opposite of whatever they do at this point.

 

[TageGod]

Should have been let go 3 years ago. Dude is like a plague.

 

[Dubi Doo]

Hey, put some respect on DiSimone’s name!!! He has over half the points of Bryson in a quarter of the games!



Well, we don’t want to start doing things that good teams do. Look I’m not upset over Bryson, but seems like an easy player (we have had no success with) to switch out for a different part

This management also has done nothing to earn our trust. Of course, we all believe this is a precursor to something bad. We've been conditioned that way for so long.

As the 23rd man on the roster under a million, I can live with it.

Certainly not thrilled to see it though.

Just a brain-dead move. Optics alone, you just go out and get another $900K scrub like a fresh coat of paint.

If we resign him he gets 60 games next year. You can count on it.

You can't survive or make the playoffs with Jacob Bryson. We keep saying if he's #8 or in Rochester, like ok, I still don't like him. BUT, Bryson play is top 4 or third pair every f***ing season, every single time and they keep renewing him, Adams is a dumb asshole.

Samuelsson is made of glass...No way the top 6 defense stays healthy. He will be in the Sabres line up most nights.

Yeah, it happens every season, I don't even want Bryson to be #7. Samuelsson gets hurt, someone else gets hurt and we see Bryson playing in the top 4. He has no edge or utility in his game. At least Gilbert was physical and fought, Bryson is just useless.

Bryson is the second longest-tenured Sabre after UPL - both taken in the 2017 draft, but UPL went two rounds ahead.

That's something.

And people thought Adams wouldn't bring in a veteran defenseman to mentor Power. Adams showed them.

Thank you Kevyn, f***ing idiot.

You know how analytics are supposed to help identify players that do little things that help the team win, that might not show up on the scoreboard?

I think Bryson does a lot of little things to help lose the game that don’t often show up on the scoreboard. He’s absolutely horrible. He skates very well, and that’s where my list of positives end.

 

[Ehran]

I guess Bryson understands the game better than most on the team.

He just doesn't have the skills to act on it.
