So this is what management has been focusing on all year. Interesting.

 

[SEALBound]

Good, glad to see all that drama is finally coming to an end.

Greenway is a weird player. Has amazing physical gifts when it comes to size and strength but is enigmatic when it comes to on-ice results. I get why Buffalo's management thinks he's better to keep than to trade, but they also have not proven that they have the talent evaluation skills to actually take all that young talent and make a winning team out of it.

Preparing to raise the banner "traded for a player that actually resigned".

cap going up has really convinced gms they can pay over 3 million for 4th liners

But why?

Just need to get it spellchecked before being raised in the rafters

No, this is Buffalo. A missing hyphen is appropriate.

Nice move if its official.

Since summer I had if for 3-4 yrs for $3.5M-$4M

 

[HogtownSabresfan]

Good deal or Sabres. Greenway is the guy to keep, not Zucker.

 

[HaNotsri]

I'm ok with that.

GMs are dumb.

What else is new?

 

[eojsmada]

Mistake. He's part of the problem and not the solution. Just continuing the train of mediocrity. But that seems to be the Kevyn Adams (Pegula) motif.

A lot of money for just a big body. I guess he can hit a bit and get around 25 points. Seems like around 3 million per is the going rate of depth guys now.

Can’t fault them for rolling it back.

Good defensively.. Good PK'er.

If he continues to play the way he has this year it's good. Just needs to stay motivated

It sounds close to AFP's prediction for him on a 4 year deal. That it's only 2 years may have plumped it up a bit.

I always feel bad for Buffalo fans.

4 Million for a guy who has only scored 30 points once is an abomination. He also doesn't seem to stay healthy. I feel the 4 million could have been spent better.

Sabres need more players like Greenway, not less. People telling on themselves in this thread. Greenway may be redundant on other solid teams but he is not on Buffalo.

One of the few guys on the roster who doesn’t cheat the game at 2 years for a team that’s not even gonna be sniffing the ceiling.

This is a good signing
Dude can dominate play at times

 

[Chainshot]

AFP had him at $3.86M for 4 years. Seems this is in that ballpark and they are usually strong with their assessments -

That's weird, because in MN the main complaint about him was that he did cheat the game.When he played hard he could be a force, but too many times you would see him just not give enough effort on the ice. There were some talk about him not putting the work in off ice.

Greenway's value isn't on the scoresheet at all. He's probably our best defensive forward in the flow of play and likely our best PKer. He's also unafraid to throw his body around. He doesn't look out of place on a scoring line with Tage and Tuch and doesn't look out of place in a more defensive role with McLeod and Benson/Zucker.

This Sabres fan thinks it's $4M well spent.
