He was already well-free from the Sabres. His final season in the NHL was with Nashville (thus the AHL re-start with Milwaukee). But, it may have something to do with the loss of the annual paycheck coming from the buyout.

Bemstrom needed a change of scenery so they replaced his .34 ppg with Nylander's .35 ppg? It's the same guy. (Granted, Bemstrom got powerplay time Nylander hadn't earned in the NHL.) Nylander could get a little career jumpstart here (stats-wise), before Columbus too, realizes he's not really made for the league.

That's a feel-good story right there. Good on him on his perseverance.

Can You Enjoy the Sabres on an Individual Game Basis?
DarthEbriate replied to msw2112's topic in The Aud Club
Absolutely. I can appreciate the beauty of the individual tree while still planning a massive clear cut of half the forest. -
If you've established yourself as a physical player, as Xhekaj has, and the game is fun and flowing and physical, the refs get conditioned to let more and more go. A pitcher nibbling on the corner gets the strike call just a bit outside. The cornerback holding on every play will only get called for a couple. The hockey player who hits gets freedom to hit more.

Sabres Bad @ Home For 4 Straight Years - Make Changes
DarthEbriate replied to Night Train's topic in The Aud Club
Took a bit, but here's my reworked record extracting the outdoor home game played in Canada and when wearing the black goatheads. I combined OTL+L for a true W/L record. 2020-21 = 8-20 2021-22 = 16-24 (TOR outdoor game) 2022-23 = 7-22 (no goatheads) 2023-24 = 7-12 (no goatheads) 38-78. That's a garbage home record (.328 winning %) You want points percentage with OTL loser points to make you feel better? .384 points % That's worse than every Sabres coach not named Craig Ramsay (21 games) and Punch (expansion season +1). No coach has been below .421 since the tank started.
