Dahlin, Jokiharju, McCabe, Montour, Pilut, Miller, Scandella, Bogosian. Sabres collect every D in the league. I think they are still bottom 5 team in the league though.
¿Que?
Yikes.Ferland to Vancouver, it seems like. Wonder if Dim Benning caved in on the terms that Ferland wanted hahaha
Yuck for them. Feel bad for whoever replaces Benning when he inevitably fails again.Rumor has it that it's a 4 year deal. Yeah, I'm glad the Borg did not touch that.
4 year deal lolololol.
Give me the lowdown on Ferland - he played with TT/Aho right? Did he just milk off them?
Ferland's a good player with a physical edge, but he just gets injured...a lot. That's why the Canes' management didn't want to give out the contract length that he wanted.
he tried to play through some injuries this past season, which led to him leaving several games early. so games played is a bit misleading for 18/19.He really hasn't missed that many games the last four seasons - I think that is being a little overblown. I think our definitions of "a lot" may defer - we've dealt with Chris Tanev and Alex Edler, now those are examples of players that get hurt a lot. However, Ferland is definitely going to breakdown as he gets older, so four year term looks dumb.

he was far more productive with Aho and Teravainen than without but 1) that’s not exactly surprising and 2) the timeline corresponded with his injuries. outstanding shot, very good and heady passer, elite physical presence. availability is by far the biggest concern, particularly given how he plays. 40+ points is very achievable if he can play 70+ games.I'm more curious about his play. Were Aho/TT dragging him around or was he actually contributing? He played 35% of his ES icetime with TT/Aho, so I'm wondering if the majority of his points came with them before playing lower in the lineup.
They and Vancouver seem to have some opposite problems one has tons of D the other has tons of F... Result.. Hopefully 2 teams not making it to the playoffs.!.Dahlin, Jokiharju, McCabe, Montour, Pilut, Miller, Scandella, Bogosian. Sabres collect every D in the league.

He definitely was a contributor the first half of the season. Didn't create a ton on his own but was capable in that regard. Figure he won't be with EP but if you have a middle 6 playmaker that needs a finisher and someone to add some edge to a line he's a good option.I'm more curious about his play.

Twitter saying Ferland at $3.5 million x 4 years. That would be a pretty great deal for him. Low salary eliminates a lot of injury risk. A long way from the sensationalized Evander Kane ask.
