as the rest of the board can be heard breaking out into... "We're gonna win that cup... me and the Buffalo Sabres yeah yeah yeah" LOL

Amerks signing. Had 13g and 11a in 69 games for Hartford last season.

[Big Guava]

Uh, OK.

Why does KA seem more interested in making the Amerks better than the Sabres?

-35 in the AHL is impressive 

[dudacek]

Know nothing about the player and looking at his hockey db provides no answers either.

The most interesting thing about it is how it makes you ask “how did a guy with those numbers” ever spend as much time on NHL rosters as he has?

Maybe he has some Kozak-like qualities with Tyson being waiver eligible?

Maybe poor AHL teams/goalies or defensive-only deployments or a combination thereof.

Fake computer thingy says this:

Jake Leschyshyn is a solid, two-way forward known for his strong work ethic and defensive play. He's considered a potential bottom-six NHL player, with some projection to a top-six role, and is strong in his own end. 

Ok I guess

I mean... part of me wonders if there's really much left that can improve the Sabres.  

Claude Lemieux represents Roslovic, so i think he's holding out for an anything but Buffalo deal.  Wouldn't shock me if we called and Claude basically said "not interested".  I remember when we drafted his kid and he basically outright said he wasn't ever going to play in Buffalo.

You do realize that he has pretty much next to nothing to do with these deals, right?

He comes from good pedigree.  His pops averaged 3 goals a season for 16 years.  Dude must have been the booger sugar hook up or something.  He’s was considered a defensive forward FWIW.  Hard to fathom for someone taken 3rd overall.

I remember his dad Curtis playing for the Saskatoon Blades in the 80's. He was a solid, hard-nosed defender who played over 1,000 NHL games. Maybe he'll take after dad.

NA 26 yos taking league minimum 2 way deals rarely end up being career NHLers.

This is a Karmanos signing for the Amerks.

[Carmel Corn]

Can he play RHD?

Karmanos has entered the chat.

Somebody might be trying to make enough improvement to get a new job ASAP.
