I know a lot of you are ecstatic he's gone but aside from this season Leopold was pretty solid for the Sabres in his three years here and was an even better person and teammate on and off the ice. He dedicated a lot of his time to the community as well and was always a true professional and class act.
While I'm glad we made the trade and got a good return for a player who wasn't playing well and who we weren't going to re-sign, it's sad to see him go. It was the right move but it's still a bit bittersweet losing a player we've been used to seeing for the past few years here (also a player who picked Buffalo to sign with as a UFA). He played poorly all season long but he had some good, solid years for Buffalo and that deserves recognition. He was a good player for the Sabres for the most part.
Just want to use this thread to appreciate what he did for the Sabres and for the city of Buffalo both on and off the ice over the years. Thanks to Jordan for everything and I wish him the best of luck in St. Louis!
