‘By acquiring Colin Miller and Marcus Johansson, the Sabres are bringing in guys who not only have the intangibles and the winning pedigree, but they are also the guys who make up the modern day NHL. They won’t blow you away on the stat sheet, but they’re smart, fast and they drive possession. Boston likely wouldn’t have made the Final this season without adding Johansson and Charlie Coyle. It’s come a long way from bringing in the Ville Leinos of the world. In fact, the Sabres have come a long way even from last off-season, in that they aren’t looking for the Vladimir Sobotkas to fill their third line, they’re looking for actual quality third-liners.’
