Phil Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 Center. 6'0, 196lbs. 50.1 career FO% — 54.31 with BUF last year. Played for Vegas from 2017-2020 — all for Gallant. One year left on his deal with BUF at $2.25 million. Read his scouting report: "Works very hard and has two-way savvy. Is a fierce competitor and a versatile forward--capable of playing both center and wing. Has some scoring ability and is a clutch performer." Seems entirely logical they'll ask what it would cost to acquire him. With a small amount of retention (it's one year, and the Sabres will likely have a ton of cap room once they deal Eichel), he's probably an ideal fourth-line center. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LindG1000 Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 Also has a few rather good playoff runs under his belt with Vegas and Dallas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted June 24, 2021 Author Share Posted June 24, 2021 Also has a few rather good playoff runs under his belt with Vegas and Dallas. Yup. 19 points in 50 playoff games (as a bottom-six player). Most with Dallas, but had five goals and an assist with Vegas in 31 games. Again, bottom-six/fourth-line player. Not at all terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjweimar Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 I've seen quite a lot of Dallas games. He is a player id love to have, but he is a hard worker, not over physical, but, that wins faceoffs and isn't a bad cost Sent from my SM-A515U using Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 I like this over some of the more costly FA options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBrowningPI Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 Gallant got the best out of him. Wouldn't be against this in totality but was he hard to play against? Me like smashers, big smashers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted June 24, 2021 Author Share Posted June 24, 2021 Gallant got the best out of him. Wouldn't be against this in totality but was he hard to play against? Me like smashers, big smashers. Me, too, but there's like eight of them left in the whole league. Three play for the Isles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJWantsTheCup Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 I have a feeling they are going after Casey Cizikas for a bottom six role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichieNextel305 Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 I’d be fine with this. Although I did want to rip every hair out of his fucking head when he ran Lundqvist a few years back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siddious Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 I assume hes better than blackwell and rooney? because his scouting report kind of sounds like them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
