Was Justin Falk Our Third Best D-Man Last Year?

Justin Falk signed a 2 year / $1,300,000 contract with the Buffalo Sabres, including $1,300,000 guaranteed, and an annual average salary of $650,000. In 2016-17, Falk will earn a base salary of $650,000, while carrying a cap hit of $650,000.

First thing: yes, this is really a thread for anyone that will ask.

 

Not much offense here but he added toughness, was pretty steady on defense. Not much else to add.

Falk was a pleasant surprise.

When I saw him in training camp,he looked like an utter disaster.

He actually held his own on the third pair.

If he's rarely in the lineup it's a good sign, but I'm pefectly fine with him as the 7/8.

Change the title to more than just his name.

I don't know what JBOT is going to do but I thought Ex-GMTM's strategy might have been to make Falk expansion draft eligible so he could protect him, and thereby leave Bogosian unprotected, and make a deal with McPhee to either draft or take in a trade Bogosian and his 3 years of no-hockey-sense-over-paid-contract off Buffalo's hands. 

 

There are probably holes with that theory...

 

Anyway, Falk is a nice affordable 6/7 sort of guy, superior to Josh Gorges in every way.

better?

yea, now I know what about Justin Falk made you think of him. 

Risto, McCabe, Falk. Yeah third best sounds about right.

:lol:  no he isn't... it isn't even close. Falk is worse than both Bogosian and Kulikov and maybe even Gorges.
