Where did Hayden and Jankowski came from? Were they always in our system? Were they free agents? They are sneaky good.

Jankowski's been a reliable 4C/3C for awhile now, and somehow couldn't find a gig this summer. Rochester signed him to an AHL deal and the Sabres signed him once the injuries all hit. Hayden's been a 4W for a bit and has hands of stone (and not really a good fighter, either) but he does battle. Jankowski is showing enough to replace Eakin. Except the faceoffs, of course!

Janko is a JAG.  Four NHL seasons with Calgary (3) and Pittsburgh (1).  He was a veteran depth signing for the Amerks but with injuries he made it up to the Sabres.  Utility knife forward.

Hayden is also a depth signing to provide grit.  Four years at Yale and a tweener with parts of four NHL seasons at Chicago (2), NJ (1) and AZ (1).  Not known for hands but gives a good effort.

They're both just JAG free-agent signings but they're better than JAGs signed by other recent GMs.

Free agents.. Jankowski started in Rochester and played well earning a call up and Sabres contract for the remaining part of the season. I think they should re sign him for next year maybe 2 personally.

Hayden was a fa start of year. Healthy scratch earned his spot too over time.

Seems to be a split feeling about Hayden around here but he has been mostly ok so far imo

Gallagher is in my top 3 least favorite players of all time. 

Really?   Think of Philly, Islanders, Bruins and Penguins.   Lots more least favorites.

Olofsson's breakaway... still not a lot of power on his shot.

Yeah, I really have doubts about him as a top six guy.

Right.  It's one of the signs that does have me hopeful for the future.

Hope the haters saw the clip Marty just showed of Dahlin’s passing.

Multiple difficult, smart plays under pressure against the grain to find the open man.

His hands are so good.
