For an every day Joe that is fantastic money.  Right now Ryan is that everyday Joe in the NHL.  Almost $2.5M is a lot of money in a game where most never make it this far.  Good for him and good for the Sabres.  I like it.

I sure hope he’s not an every day Joe.  More like a when the flu bug goes around Joe.

I just don't understand this... Ryan Johnson when they first brought him up looked like he could hold his own, he had some mistakes for sure but I thought they'd ride him out and then he never saw the light of day again yet Bryson continues to impress these coaches?

Pretty sure the thing that most impresses the coaches about Bryson is that he is REALLY appreciative of not having to load his own bag onto the team bus and has no thoughts whatsoever about making waves when he's relegated to the pressbox.

That, and they've said they haven't noticed a dropoff in his play when he hasn't been in a game for a long time vs when he's been a regular.  It's like they see him as the absolute ideal #7.  (Too bad his talent is that of an 8 or a 9.)
