Only the people who actually watch the Sabres play and not form their opinions from Buffalo News writers (Harrington) know how valuable Montour is.
He had the lowest +/- , and only Scandella had a better PDO among all skaters this past year.
last year in the 20 game stretch with the Sabres he had the most goals, most assists and lowest +/- of ALL defensemen.
Just because Krueger mis used him (along with Skinner, Vesey, Sheary, Rodrigues and Hutton do I need to offer any more proof) does not make him bad.
Johnsson is a bad target as he is a left handed LW and Buffalo only has 4 other LW who had more goals than he last year: Skinner, Olofsson, Johansson and Kahun.
BTW, if the Sabres let Montour walk and do not at least QO, I just may become a leafs fan, as this management will only prove their incompetence.
Buffalo may need to add but if I were the Buffalo GM and Dubas called me, I would target Kapanen.
I may need to add, but probably not a lot.
All GM's place value on players, one method to judge their value is their salary.
Kapanen and Montour are nearly equal, that often gives a clue on a young players value.
This measure is often skewed when one gets to be a UFA, but it is quit valid among RFA's.
