Oh, that Nylander. ROR does have a hefty contract, but he's a proven 1B-2 C.
I don't mind a deal with the Sabres around ROR, but I am not impressed with Nylander's AHL numbers and his NHL looks haven't shown much. He's bordering on being a bust as an 8th pick, though I suppose at 19 he might still come through. At the beginning of the season I would have suggested adding Reinhart but I think the Sabres wouldn't do that now.
Thing is - do the Sabres even want a defenceman now? They have Risto, they are getting Dahlin. Falk, McCabe and Scandella aren't horrible. Bogosian may have a comeback year - I'm not sure of his status.
