In case you missed it, there was a damn good defenseman awarded with a decent-sized four-year contract over the weekend:
Having covered the Anaheim Ducks for most of the 2015-15 season, I can tell you that Sami Vatanen is a damn good blueliner. Heck, I only argued that the Buffalo Sabres should try and trade someone like Tyler Ennis for Vatanen here!
Of course, the majority of Buffalo Sabres fans are far more interested in one of Anaheim’s left-shooting blueliners, such as Cam Fowler or Hampus Lindholm, so the fact that Anaheim GM Bob Murray has locked Vatanen in certainly didn’t interest fans in the 716 .
