Looks like he does the little things, a two way player with some offensive upside. I’ll take that at 58 overall.
First time in a long time that we haven’t had a pick in the top 50 and only one in the top 100. It’s so nice not worrying about who falls to us in the top 10
My guess is it gives them the ability to sign him without him being able to compare other offers plus the ability to add the 8th year. That being said he got good money and term. I’m not sure what else he would have gotten on the open market
I went to the Buffalo-Rag game at city field. It was -11 when I woke up that morning and I think the high was under 20. It was insanely cold. I had those little warming packets in my boots and pockets. People’s beers were literally freezing in the cup holders.
Then at the next years winter classic it was 50 degrees and I felt cheated.
