‘“Well I’m excited about the obvious, which is the physical attributes,” Sabres general manager Kevyn Adams said. “As I watch him very closely over the last number of weeks, I just think we have a player here that we don’t have currently. A player that, he adds physicality, grit, is a presence. He can hold onto pucks. He’s talented where he can make plays and get up and down the ice, but also that frame and his ability to hang onto pucks and just have a physical presence. I think it’s an important addition for us that something I’ve been thinking about for a while and was hoping to add.”’
