IKnowPhysics Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 Hopefully his defensive improvements continue. He was top-six in quality of competition last year and saw the most defensive zone starts by far. I'd like to see him continue his development into a pretty good third line guy that plays with tenacity and meanness while doubling as a PK specialist. There's an important role for him there and fans love him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trettioåtta Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 I am glad. I like Kaleta - always does whatever is required of him and he has cleaned up his act. I wonder how much? 3 years 4mil? 4.5? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although for a second my heart raced thinking it was Doan. Then i thought it was Ennis. Then i was content with Kaleta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then i was content with Kaleta Well I saw tweets first. But the app still got it to me quick. And whoever said 3 years, 4 mill... I'd definitely do that. I think he's worth between 1 and 1.5 mill. Any more is probably overpaying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punch Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 I initially read this as Patrick Kane agreed to a multi-year deal in Buffalo--- nevermind how that would be accomplished. Hopefully his defensive improvements continue. He was top-six in quality of competition last year and saw the most defensive zone starts by far. I'd like to see him continue his development into a pretty good third line guy that plays with tenacity and meanness while doubling as a PK specialist. There's an important role for him there and fans love him. Always interesting to see some advanced numbers. Stats like these tell a truer tale than +/- and the like. Assuming the money is right it's a good signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoss Posted July 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 If I were Kevin Snow I would've tweeted "The Buffalo Sabres have agreed to a deal bringing Patrick Ka" and then watched everybody freak out before saying that my phone died mid-tweet and then finish it saying it was Patrick Kaleta.

dEnnis the Menace Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 Three years $1.275 per. Next! Not bad. Has Ennis been given an offer yet? he is next, right? what will he command/demand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueBlueGED Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 Not bad. Has Ennis been given an offer yet? he is next, right? what will he command/demand? Just his qualifying offer, don't think he's been offered a longer term deal. I'm thinking something along the lines of 3 years $9 million, maybe a little less like $8 million. I would say two years, but I doubt they want an offseason needing to re-sign Ennis (still RFA), Pominville, Vanek and Miller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMatrix31 Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 Pretty cheap. He's a punk so I hope he dials it down a bit, particularly with the disciplinary people keeping an eye on him.....but still a good piece to keep long-term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got called for a lot of non-penalties imo (and i try and be as objective as posible over penalties) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfreeman Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 Good. I'm glad the Sabres are keeping him and I'm happy for Patty, who certainly leaves it all out there. I'd be quite happy to see him get Roy's letter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Flagg Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 Since 7-1-07, Pat Kaleta has more playoff goals than Drew Stafford. And, he twirls his fist and punches the glass when he scores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LabattBlue Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 If Kaleta can stay healthy, and continue to be a "pest", it's a good deal. If we can contribute 20-25 points on offense, even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DR HOLLIDAY Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 That'd be an interesting move by Lindy. Give the heart and soul guy an A. I like it. If he can keep his composure like he did last year that would be okay by me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
