Jackets fan site gave him a B- grade for last season. Can play wing or Center.

Does this put Josh Doan in Rochester?

Wrong Doan

I said Doan was going to Rochester when acquired, but honestly I don't think so.  Kozak is the loser here presumably.

Weird cuz Kozak just signed a new three year contract.

Solid depth piece; perhaps to make sure the 3 ELCs are sure to work hard every shift.

Someone mentioned that Kozak is not waiver eligible this season and CapWages confirms that

That’s probably why years 2 & 3 are one way, to try and dissuade a claim.

I get the feeling that the rest of the league looks at the Sabres waiver moves like people read the obituaries.

"Oh, he died?  A shame."

Next. 🙂

Yep.  So did Ryan Johnson and he isn't in the top 7 D right now. 

Can't wait to see that 4th line position battle in camp between Malenstyn, Krebs, Kozak, Greenway, Doan and Danforth.

Quite the logjam.  But isn't Greenway pencilled into the top 9 at least until Byram returns a F for the top 6?

[Pimlach]

Adams loves to fine tune his 4th line players, his 6/7/8 defenders, and his 3rd goalies   Always a step ahead on the fringes.

Shorter skater, but he would have ranked 4th among Sabres forwards in hits last season (Malenstyn, Cozens, Krebs).

Maybe we trade the second line for draft choices and just run 2 fourth lines?

These are your grade A Sabres signings.

A lot of players would have ranked 4th among Sabres forwards in hits last season.  A day one signing for a guy who will barely average 9 minutes a game.

Can't wait for the behind the scenes video of Adams' draft day.  I'll bet he takes 2 hours trying to figure out his lunch order.
