Could that sound any more like Bertuzzi when he was dealt there?

Interesting move, Seeing how he didnt dress in a regular role till the end of the season...Seems like a decent player that with the right "molding" and coaching staff he can really make a name for himself.....O well

If he was going to be anything like Bertuzzi, we'd see a couple flashes of brilliance like we saw with bertuzzi early in his career. I'm not saying he won't be good in a couple years, just not bertuzzi good.

he's a big guy who plays like a pansey. He wouldn't have played at all last year except for players getting hurt. If he would hit people, and play hard he'd be really good, but he never has. The canucks prolly see him as a guy who COULD turn into a decent 3/4 line player. The sabres moved him to make salary room, and to make room for better players moving up from the AHL.

As an isles fan I could right you a list of those players.

Yeah, another reclamation project. Vancouver has had pretty decent luck with those, so why not. They're definately getting back some size with Chouinard, Mitchell, and Pyatt.

Paille will take his spot next year for Buf, great two-way player at the junior level when I watched him in Guelph and he was the WJC captain a few years ago.
