    'Peca-like' Paille is new Sabre

    Daniel Paille knows comparisons are inevitable for a prospect entering the National Hockey League.
    The Buffalo Sabres' newest player realizes fans are eager for a sense of what they can look forward to, and there's no simpler way than to stack him up against a name they already know.

    That can create undue pressure on a developing youngster, especially when the measuring stick was a fan favorite whose departure is still bemoaned in Buffalo.

    Paille's not worried. He's flattered.

    "I don't think being compared to a player like Michael Peca is more pressure at all," said Paille, the two-way forward who agreed to terms with the Sabres on Monday. "That is a great compliment. The way he plays is pretty much the way I play. It's the same style: a skilled forward that plays physical."

    Paille, selected by Buffalo 20th overall in the 2002 draft, agreed to a three-year contract worth about $3 million.

    Curse of death...comparing players...why does the NHL do that??

    Please meet Brad May...the next Cam Neely...Brad May wasn't even worth a 1st round choice...




    For all the education and practice each of us undergoes, the achievment of mastery is ultimately the outcome of a personal quest for understanding.
