Sabres Sign Jason Zucker to a One Year 5 Million AAV Deal

Reminds me of an old quote from a dear female friend:

 “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse…”

I believe this signing falls under the latter.

Middle 6 LW?

Makes sense.

LW depth is now: JJP, Benson, Zucker, Greenway, Malenstyn ...?

Do I have that right? I don't always rightly recall which wingers play which side.

What reports say the Sabres have signed the guy?

Can we be precise?

Jay Rosehill is cited upthread.

….and his defensive metrics?

Sounds like he is willing to get his hands dirty.

Sounds like a reasonable 3rd line addition.  We give up some scoring compared to Skinner, but get back someone willing to fore and back check.

He has positive possession quality

He is too small for "dirty hands". Just 5.10

yep we are adding 4th liners while letting a ton of goals go elsewhere. whatever

His production is in line with an average 7th forward. He produces more like a high end 3rd liner, definitely not a 4th liner. Obviously, I still want to see some more adds.
