I talked to Shane Frederick and Chris Dilks about what the Sabres are getting in their free agent signing.
There are a lot of questions about Casey Nelson as he prepares for his Sabres debut this afternoon against Winnipeg. Most fans hadn't heard his name before the Sabres announced they signed the Minnesota State defenseman on Tuesday evening.
Nelson opted to forgo his senior year after a season where he scored six goals, 16 assists and was named the WCHA's Defensive Player of the Year. His best statistical season came the year prior, when he scored seven goals and notched 26 assists in 40 games.
