sabres get numminen


Recommended Posts

The Sabres have agreed to terms with Teppo Numminen, which gives my boys some very much needed help on Defense.
Excellent signing. He is a sturdy defencemen, and he is the definition of the egoless player you were hoping for. Who doesn't love Numminen?

Plus he's a contributor on offense and the power play, he's pretty much exactly the player I was hoping for (although I really didn't even realize he was a free agent).

I don't follow the East as closely as the West, but I really think the Sabres are in an excellent position for this season. They seemed to be going in a more offensive direction before the lockout, and with the rule changes now in place they could really thrive. They remind me of the Canucks a few years ago: a young, close knit core of players who are extremely talented. The one question mark I have is why they seem content holding three NHL ready goalies in the salary cap era. I guess one of them will make good trade bate near the trade deadline.

I can't see Mika Noronen sticking around, they only kept him last season because Ryan Miller was still fairly green and didn't have a very good showing in the early season. Now that he has another absolutely stellar season in the AHL under his belt, he's probably ready to challenge for the #1 spot, or share it with Biron. Noronen is a damn fine goalie though, they should get good value for him if they trade him.
