Next up in our player discussion series, a three-for-one special: #84 Phil Varone C (24-year-old RFA) Rochester 55/15/29/44/-7/22 Buffalo 28/3/2/5/-14/10 #20 Zac Dalpe RW (25-year-old RFA) Rochester 44/16/12/28/-7/0 Buffalo 21/1/2/3/-11/4 #49 Jerry D'Amigo RW (24-year-old RFA) Springfield 28/3/4/7/-4/26 Rochester 31/6/13/19/0/21 Buffalo 9/0/0/0/-4/2 Three players who failed to catch on with the teams that originally drafted them. Three players who were given another chance with the Sabres. Three players who have proven to be effective in the minor leagues, but have failed to grab regular NHL spots after at least four years pro. Dalpe can fly, Varone has good offensive instincts and D’Amigo plays hard all the time. So far, none of them have been able to capitalize on those gifts enough to overcome holes in other parts of their games. Has the window closed completely on their NHL opportunities? Will they be offered contracts. If so, will it be to play for the Amerks?
