in skill terms? Nope.
But what he does bring is what every team in the game covets. Size, speed, and a decent set of hands with a great shot and in his prime. His issues are off-ice, or at least have been. Sounds like he has figured that stuff out according to guys around the Sabres (Rob Ray was on with the morning guys yesterday) and may re-sign there.
He is having his best season as a pro, and makes 5.25 now. He is gonna want, and will almost assuredly get, a big raise.
