At this point with Cody Eakin you know what you’re getting. A gritty veteran forward who will provide leadership, win faceoffs, be decent on the penalty kill and throw in a point or two here and there. If that was the expectation for the Sabres when they added the fourth line forward, then they got what they asked for.
