Confirmed with Link: Sabres sign Vinnie Hinostroza (1yr, $1.05 mil)

[Steddy33]

Good. Take this over Eakin any day

 

[BuffaloGooner]

Now that’s a nice little signing

 

[CrazyPsycho]

Now im nervous no contract has leaked just 1 year please

 

[SackTastic]

I assume he will play RW? We are short on right-shot forwards, so this is reasonable.

It would fit the standard model of them forcing every center they get to play on the wing.

This is not a thing to get nervous about

Kevyn is methodical.
The prospects returned will be the unction for the wound exposed in the Eichel trade.
Vinnie H. is the band-aid.

Non-sarcastic question - the roster in CHI appeared full. But why sign in BUF? Anyone know if he has a connection to anyone in the Sabres org?

[elchud]

I mean its a bargain

 

[Ace]

Poor bastard

 

[Sabreality]

Better than Eakin, upgrade!

 

[Zman5778]

Fine by me. Another 3rd/4th line type. Looks like he can kill penalties some too.

 

[SabresFan26]

Really good quality signing

 

[Ace]

Better than Eakin, upgrade!

*whispers* Eakin is still here.

Still need to find a way to unload him

 

[Uberpecker]

this may be the greatest day of my life......except for the day they signed Eakin

You are doing that thing where you are saying the opposite of what is true for the sake of comedic effect, I assume?

 

[Chainshot]

Feels like the kind of guy who could come in on a 1 year deal and try to prove he's more than just a body.

He is more than just a body.

 

[Chainshot]

Still need to find a way to unload him

Sadly, I don't think anyone will be that accommodating.

 

[Sabreality]

Don knows he's terrible, Amerks need centers too

 

[OkimLom]

not breaking the bank, so no big deal. It is what it is.

 

[elchud]

Still need to find a way to unload him

Not like we are going to be anywhere near the cap.

Forwards 10-14
Hinostroza, Girgensons, Okposo, Caggiula, Eakin

As long as none of then move up the lineup, that's actually decent for the bottom of the lineup.

Thompson and Bjork will sink or swim up the lineup. As will Asplund and Ruotsalainen. There is one more spot for a top 9 forward. Eichel will start the year on IR.

 

[Mr Orangeshirt]

Can he play goalie?

 

[Buffaloed]

Adams can't be accused of failing to turn over every rock.

 

[TheMistyStranger]

He is more than just a body.

Well, I mean to the rest of the league. Otherwise he wouldn't have signed in Buffalo lol

See my post on the first page. He played for Chicago when Donny was an assistant coach.

Can't wait to hear Rayzor butcher his name
