Hopefully there's some magic left when it comes to claiming a defenseman off waivers.
He will get the chance next yearSucks for him he just saw his chance to play in playoffs reduced, but welcome home to another Fitzgerald
The kid's a great teammate and despite being undersized, will mix it up out there physically. Good luck Casey!
Kid is a scrappy little pup. I like it. Is this eventually setting up for Gudas’ departure?

Any comparable player?
Tkachuk approval is good for me.
Feels like it could be his replacement.
Hoping one of Ludvig or Alscher can develop into a physical defensive defenseman, a bottom pair hit machine.
My guess is that we want Kiersted developing in the AHL instead of riding the bench. This kid could be something decent and clearly makes Tkachuk happy...personally I think MT looks a bit annoyed in interviews recently given the team's strugglesSabres fans seem to think he isn’t NHL material which is probably true. Maybe depth for Charlotte. I don’t have my hopes up.
Yeah, losing isn’t fun so it makes sense. Everybody should be annoyed. This won’t really move the needle at all, and I hope Zito isn’t making moves to placate Tkachuk. That’s not how managing a professional sports team should work.My guess is that we want Kiersted developing in the AHL instead of riding the bench.

RIP Bobrovsky then.Maybe a deeply discounted Keith Ballard?
I was thinking comparables to that one defenseman from a couple years ago, His Name Escapes me at the moment.Seems like a Lomberg but on defense.
Willing to fight, giving up size and weight.
Plays with a big heart, team first guy and willing to do tough tasks to stay in league.
Definitely worth a shot with our luck of finding some winning waiver tickets of recent past.

Fun fact, linesman #55 is my friend Kyle Flemington.

He got traded to Chicago, then I believe he went to Vancouver where he broke his leg.

If Florida tries to assign him, I would be surprised if Buffalo didn't just reclaim him and assign him to their affiliate in Rochester. He's well-liked by the staff there and was well liked by his teammates.
He hasn't been quite the same since this one -
I read Keith and my mind started going ballistic until it read Ballard and started calming downMaybe a deeply discounted Keith Ballard?
That was pretty Dirty by the Vegas guy.
