Day #11 of Sabres in focus - Jordan Leopold

I like Leopold and believe he is a solid option at the blue line. At 32 years old, Leopold is entering a contract year. He has a cap hit of $3M this season.

After scoring 35 points in his first year with the Sabres, Leopold's offensive production dipped a bit this past season, scoring 24 points (10 G, 14 A) in 79 games. This will be Leopold's 10th NHL season.

Here's his first as a Sabre:


I can't get enough of this next video. It's just so ridiculous. One of my favorite games I've ever been to. Easy to forget that Leopold was the one to put it in.











My prediction: 10 G, 17 A, 27 PTS

Based on the polls from Friday's post, readers have predicted Leino's totals for this season.
My prediction: 17 G, 25 A, 42 PTS
Readers' prediction: 18 G, 25 A, 43 PTS
