Is he really worth it? I would say yes only if we are trading a D man. - Lilroot9
Hes not too bad, solid defensive first dman, could be on your 2nd pairing, but at 3.something m for 3 years left, would be too expensive of a pick up to put on your 3rd pairing

"All of that information, taken together with the exercise of watching him play 74 games on the year, can lend itself to multiple interpretations.
The following is mine. Fayne is a limited player, particularly offensively, but he’s also a reliable veteran who instinctively does things right most of the time. Stick him with a competent puck-moving defenceman, and there’s no reason to think he won’t be effective playing shutdown minutes; he was almost passable in the role next to a continually-injured Nikitin and that’s really saying something."

A bad team with notoriously bad defense has waived a "defensive-only" guy....not sure that is a sound pick-up.
The longer I sit here the more pissed off I am over the Sabres not claiming Semin. There's no risk, is Tim Murray really saying that he thinks Brian Gionta is a better line-mate for Eichel than Semin would be? I know the GM doesn't make the lines, but in looking at them and choosing not to take a player because he thinks the ones he has are better than the one on waivers is what I mean by that. The only thing I can think of is they don't want his allegedly piss-poor attitude to rub off on the young guns. The Sabres have ~$9 million in cap space and Semin is on a one year $1.1 million contract of which we'd only have to pay around $726,000 if I remember the rules correctly. That's less than 1% of the remaining cap space! Even if they have to pay full freight it's still basically a risk-free endeavor.

Who do you waive to get him, or do you just send COR back to Roch. and keep a player in the PB? He only has one goal.
