No Blockbusters
Here along the Lake Yesterday Defenseman Jokiharju departed Buffalo after five years for a fourth-round draft selection in next year’s NHL Entry Draft from Boston. The Finnish, six foot, 200 lbs., stay at home defenseman should play more minutes for the Bruins than he was getting with the Sabres.
Additionally, the “Workhorse from Whitehorse” Center Dylan Cozens and Buffalo, NY born Defenseman Dennis Gilbert who played just 25 games for the Sabres are bound for Ottawa. In exchange Buffalo received Center Josh Norris and Defenseman Jacob Bernard-Docker who recently came off IR and has not played since December 28th.
The Rangers took the ineffective and seldom played RW Aube-Kubel off Buffalo’s roster for diminutive 5′ 10 “, 185 lbs. Defenseman Erik Brannstrom.
Not making a trade for an outstanding goaltender or another stud winger is not always the wrong move if for example a coaching change is imminent, patience is not just waiting for the team to get better, but how we play while getting better.
