Sure. Bonus draft pick.

 

[CrazyPsycho]

Yikes, isn't he more of what we already have? Not great at D, powerplay specialist?

 

[Zach716]

Has put up some nice stats. Anyone have more info on him?

[Royal Thunder]

Finally weaponizing that cap space, but who is going to play on the right side?

Small, powerplay specialist, gets beat up in his own end pretty good. For free and just the one year deal, should be fine. A marginal improvement over Bryson?

 

[Sabre the Win]

Why does New Jersey need his cap gone?

 

[Snippit]

Meh it's a body

Dahlin-Joker
Butcher-Miller
Samuelsson/Bryson-XXX
Hagg

Hamilton

 

[Club]

Decent add. I like it.

 

[The Blunder Years]

Easy trade to make. I like it. Honestly building the roster through 1 year cap dumps might not be a bad strategy.

 

[Fjordy]

Meh

 

[sabremike]

Just signed Dougie Hamilton.

 

[TehDoak]

I'd have rather taken Subban. 9.5M cap but only 2M salary.

 

[Husko]

Just give it a few more years and Cal will come back to us too

 

[Jacob582]

Another LHD???

 

[elchud]

Sign Hakanpaa. Samuelsson makes the team, Bryson in Rochester.

Dahlin - Joker
Samuelsson - Miller
Butcher - Hakanpaa
Hagg

 

[Buffaloed]

Future Considerations sounds ominous. OMG Eichel is going to the Devils!

 

[JLewyB]

Did NJD pay for his signing bonus?

Bonus points for being left handed defenseman

Taking cap with draft picks is the right thing to do but you'd like to either get a more useful player or more than a 5th rounder.

I worked at DU when he was the captain there, solid character guy and Hobey Baker winner. Not expecting much from him on the ice, but cool to see him on the Sabres.

Am I losing my mind or was he a Sabre a few years ago?
