That is fine!
I still want him here, even if he underwhelms.

Had 6 straight 20 goal seasons until 2 years ago, where he would have scored 20 if he wouldn't have been hurt. He's a good player, better than Clarkson, Or Clowe, but he will get a lot of money

And that would be a terrible deal as he too is another that seems unable to stay healthy. He is hurt all the time.

5 mil for a guy that will give you 70gp and 50 points.

2 more years in the Q, at least 2 years in the AHL, and at least one year as a backup.

6 yrs before he makes an impact for any organization drafting him.

This kid is different, idk if you like TSN's draft guy Craig Button, but Button ranked Fucale 7th on his final rankings

I think his ceiling is slightly higher then Teppo, but yes, in the same mold, and there is zero wrong with that. Every team needs at least one member of their D to play like that. Complete calmness on the ice. Hard to teach that.
- kingcong39

If he is 75% of Teppo, we have a good player. Too early to tell how Good he will be

He's a guy that you add if you are looking for that extra piece for a cup run. He's not a guy you add when you're rebuilding.

Craig Button is an idiot.

There's a reason he's on tv and not in the front office anymore.

We need to start investing in some players with size and grit!
Horton would provide some much needed toughness for this team.
We need to change the make up of this team. We need to get bigger, and tougher.

Haha, your the guys who said we should trade 8 for 10 and 30 right? You just read bloggers online you dont watch these players.

We led the league in hits last year. What did that get us?

After the Lucic incident, the battle cry was to get "tougher". They did go out and get tougher. They also got worse.

I disagree
We can use his grit, and he does score some goals.

Buffalo inferiority complex at its finest. And the FO of the Sabres bought into it

He's not a guy you build around.

See his time in Florida.


Like the player and he'd be the exact player I'd go after if Vanek and Miller weren't out the door.

That is what happens when you have player like Scott doing the hitting for you!
Lots of hits, and no points

Don't tempt me.

No doubt we could use him. He would make any team better. Just bad timing.

I want more then 50 points if he is getting paid $5M.

Either that or he better be an absolute 2-way Selke-caliber stud.

- sbroads24

I think he will be better then Teppo, not in terms of playing that many years, moreso the player he will be during his peak years, but again, I am a big backer of Pysyk.

ID like to see how much that dude could put down in a bar
