The season is over, and we’re going to rate every player who played more than 20 games this season on their performance the same way we were all graded back in the day - on a report card scale of A to F. We’re taking a look at everyone from Bailey to Rodrigues in our 2016-17 Buffalo Sabres Report Cards.
Age: 23
Contract: RFA (cap hit of $1.15 million last year)
Introduction: Zemgus Girgensons is something of a polarizing player among Sabres fans, with some thinking that the offensive skill he showed in 2014-15 shows he deserves a chance in a top six role, while others think that year was a fluke and that Girgensons is much better served playing in the bottom six.
