Confirmed with Link: Sabres sign D Mark Pysyk (1 year, $900k)

[My Cozen Dylan]

I like it. Solid underlyings, cheap, at a position of need. Good partner for Butcher or Hagg.

 

[hizzoner]

I liked him as a Sabre and like this deal. Hope he is not jinxed now.

 

[Buffaloed]

Pysyk is tough as nails and will keep the mice out of the crease. He'll also play forward and not whine to the media that he's not being used properly.

 

[NotABadPeriod]

So we're looking at:

Dahlin-Jokiharju
Samuelsson-Miller
Butcher-Pysyk
Hagg/Bryson

 

[Gabrielor]

This one I like. Feels a need.

 

[brian_griffin]

Any truth to the rumor Adams eschewed the strong analytics, and targetted him simply because of two "Y"s in his last name?

 

[Dirty Dog]

So we're looking at:

Dahlin-Jokiharju
Samuelsson-Miller
Butcher-Pysyk
Hagg/Bryson

I think Power will be in the lineup

 

[buffalowing88]

That feels remarkably low. There are guys who are only marginally better than him making 2-3x that today.

Last week I was thinking Bryson would play in the lineup as 2LHD to showcase him for a possible trade deadline deal. He really doesn't have a future on the Sabres long term.

Now it looks like he is Rochester bound. Maybe has a trade value of a 5th. Oh well.

 

[Royal Thunder]

I think Power will be in the lineup

I hope not. Let him develop another year, this team is gonna be a mess

 

[Ace]

I think Power will be in the lineup

I give that a nearly zero percent chance.

as in less than zero…but it’s close.

 

[Jacob582]

I'm happy. One of my favorites (not that he was good - I liked Mike Webber too).

But this is our big signing! (player signed for over league minimum)

 

[Dirty Dog]

I give that a nearly zero percent chance.

as in less than zero…but it’s close.

im not saying I want him in the lineup, but I give it better than 50% odds

 

[Samsonite23]

One positive about this season:

I get to say Pisser every time I watch a game now.

 

[Zach716]

Welcome back Mark!

 

[vcv]

Welcome back piss boy!

Draft flashback: how pissed were we when Detroit took Sheahan a couple picks earlier and we ended up with Pysyk? Watch us re-sign Sheahan and end up with both of them!

Possibly.

Name recognizes Name.

 

[littletonhockeycoach]

Good move. Pysyk looked pretty solid while he was in Dallas.

 

[Zip15]

Did Adams think free agency opened at 5pm, instead of noon?

Suddenly a rush of signings between 5-6pm.

As I often said at the end of the night in college, hey, something is better than nothing.

Even the fringe guys want to wait to see if they get any offers besides Buffalo.

 

[valet]

rejoice!

the prodigal son has returned!

Rayzor is familiar with the name. It's in his wheelhouse.

Reason he agreed to it was the Sabres are going to give him a shot between the pipes.
