Not that he's anything special, but a vet presence would have helped. Also makes the Halak trade seem kinda ****ty.

Re: klesla not reporting to Sabres

would you want to report to the sabres for a month and a half of getting your butt whipped or play the injury card and bolt to the UK League?

Me personally? I'd do anything to play for the Sabres, even if it meant getting my butt kicked both figuratively and literally.

But, as far as non-fans go, I see your point.

It has no impact on the trade. He was a salary dump ala Kotalik. He was not going to be on the NHL roster, barring a rash of injuries
