2-way deals are great! I liked him last year. We need the depth, glad he's back.


e: 650k/yr NHL 300k/yr AHL, 350k guaranteed in minors

No problem with him as depth!

 

[Jim Carr's Rug]

like this.

 

[gallagt01]

Very happy with this. I liked what he did in Buffalo.

How was he in Rochester? Could this be a player that benefits (in Roch) from an organizational change in system?

 

[Dreakon13]

Awesome. Was actually a little worried we might lose him. I like him a lot more as a depth player than guys like Gorges or Falk... seems like Fedun better fits the skilled, mobile defender mold that Boots is going for.

 

[Royal Thunder]

Very pleased to have him back. Great in the AHL, and very serviceable as NHL depth.

23 points in 29 games for a crappy Amerks team

He was great when he was in Rochester last year. Good to have him back. They were a much better team with him in the lineup.

 

[sabresfan129103]

He didn't look out of place in the NHL and played very well for Rochester. Very good depth signing.

 

[Weltschmerz]

very nice

 

[Myllz]

Nice to have him on a two way deal.

 

[Dreakon13]

Even if we made no other moves, I'd take Fedun as the #6 in Buffalo to start with.

McCabe-Risto
Beaulieu-Bogo
Fedun-Antipin
x-Gorges

Falk to Rochester.

Something along those lines. Of course, ideally, get someone even better to help out the left side and let Fedun help Rochester/be one of the first up in case of injury.

I'd rather send Gorges to Rochester and have Falk be on the big club.

 

[Gabrielor]

Good depth. Keep it coming please.

 

[Paxon]

Nice

I'd rather send Gorges to Rochester and have Falk be on the big club.

Gorges only has a year left, I think Falk is a better option for helping/growing in Roch personally. Of those two. Make Gorges the #7 and make sure he gets very limited ice time, really only in emergencies where we don't have time to fly someone better up. Let him be a coaches aide, helping in practices and mentoring the new guys.

EDIT: I think that should probably be Gorges role this year, no matter who ends up on the team in October. He'd probably rather be a mentor in the NHL, then relegated to/buried in the AHL too... even if he knows he probably won't be playing much. Strikes me as the type anyways.

Great for Rochester, good depth in case.

Falk's on a 1-way. Fedun is on a 2-way. I see Bogo moving to left and Falk playing over Bogo before I see Fedun playing.

That being said, we aren't in cap trouble this year and it won't make a difference either way.

I think we still have to reach cap floor.

 

[Gabrielor]

This should be just the first step in rejuvenating the d this summer. Still looking at 1-2 for Rochester, depending on how ready Stephens and Florentino are. Then, you have to find a way to make Gorges the 7th man.

 

[struckbyaparkedcar]

Probably our fifth best defenseman last season. Should have gotten a regular rotation slot with the dysfunction, but Bylsma...

 

[Der Jaeger]

Solid move

Wouldn't the 2 NHL ready D they acquired have been the first steps?

 

[Sabre Dance]

Great signing by Sexton.
