Never said ''this year''. That was your interpretation.

Will be interesting to see if Girgensons can bounce back under Housley. Under Nolan he performed very well for such a young player on such a bad Buffalo squad. How do you think Antipin will be for Buffalo?

If you have inside KHL knowledge do you have any information on Nikita Tryamkin?

Like any out clauses on his KHL contract?

What would it take for him to go to the NHL?

Yes

Need to get Girgensons signed first. Not sure what the new regime envisions from him but we have clear need at wing. Wing is his only shot at a top six role in this organization. Ultimately this will be the Sabres third General Manager to evaluate him and implement a plan for his development. Hopefully the third time will be the charm.
