He's young, steady, smart and sound. It's hard to not love what Mark Pysyk brings to the table. Two years ago he was likely the Sabres second best defenseman, behind only Christian Ehrhoff. Yet, he spent most of the year in Rochester. Out of all the clear tanking moves Tim Murray and the Sabres made this year, stashing Pysyk is probably the most obvious. Now that the Sabres goals have changed, the Sabres will be using him in key situations.
