Quoting: Jdfitz77
Did he get waived?
And is he even any good anymore?
He was only on pace for 35pts last season
Yes he got waived.
35 pts is about the same as he had the two previous seasons of 38 each.
Over the last four seasons he has 49 goals and 134 pts while Eakin has 41 and 95 respectively.
Last year he was +9 v -9 compared to Cody.
His life time FO% is 55.7 v 49.9 for Cody.
Derek is a late bloomer and did not reach the NHL full time until the 2016-'17 season.
Eakin is much younger but for one season, I would love to see him in a Sabre uniform.
I really hope we pick him off of waivers.
EDIT:
Buffalo NEEDS to pick up Ryan.
He was Skinner's #1 from 2016-'18.
Put Jeff on the third line with Ryan as Center.
Taylor Jack Tage
Victor Eric Sam
Jeff Derek Dylan
Arttu Cody Kyle.
EDIT to my EDIT:
While I think Ryan will solidify the teams chances of making the playoffs, if the team underperforms again he, Staal and Montour would bring back valuable assets at the TDL.
For the third time (not necessarily the last), Buffalo SHOULD pick him off of waivers and I hope they do.
