Sabres Should Pivot To Gritty Free Agent After Missing Out On Kane
The Sabres should consider signing this forward after missing out on Patrick Kane.
Video Transcript
He just signed a new contract, four years times 4.5 million.
Peyton Krebs can play up and down the lineup.
He's very annoying, unless he plays for your team, so Sabres fans love him.
His opponents certainly don't.
He's got that great sandpaper to him.
Mike Augello, good deal for the Sabres, good deal for Peyton Krebs.
What do you think of this?
I think it's a good deal for both.
I mean, if you look at the free agent signings on July 1st and the type of players, you know, fourth line, but flexible, can play wing or center like Colton Sissons or Jack Roslovic with Toronto, they made over $4 million or around 4 million, about $4 million.
And the, the Sabres got Krebs for four years at 4.5.
Lindy Ruff calls him his Swiss Army knife.
He moves up and down the lineup, as you said.
He, in certain situations late in the game, he plays on the top line because he's really good defensively.
It's weird.
He was a scorer in junior, and everybody expected him to be a big scorer at the NHL level, but he has morphed into a, an antagonist, sort of a Darcy Tucker type of pain in the butt type of player, and he's really good at it, and he's good on, good, as a defensive player as well.
So it was a good signing for both.
