Really guys, think about it.
Sure, the Sabres lost McKee and Grier, but if you really think about it...
between JM and MG, the sabres lose 39 points
picking up Spacek adds 43 points to the roster.
I think the type of game that the Sabres play suits Spacek better than it suited Grier or McKee.
McKee was a great shot blocker, but only because he was never really a transition type player, and the Sabres run a fast paced, up-tempo, transition type game... this is why McKee was relegated to blocking a ton of shots, because he wasn't the type of guy that could get up and down the ice for 30+ a game... Spacek can do that... and play D.
It's not a bad signing. So what if he's a little older. Teppo is 39, just got off the operating table, and can still play with the best of em!
They added a guy who can provide veteran leadership, serve as a scoring threat from the blueline, and fill a defensive void.
Get past the loss of McKee and you'll realize it's not that bad...
