With the Buffalo Sabres acquiring several players from the St. Louis Blues, I asked Joey Palazzola, writer and founder of Respect The Note, for his insight on the recent transactions.
Q: Let’s start with Carter Hutton. At 32, he was given a three-year deal in Buffalo. He had a good year last year, but his stats are a little all over the place for a limited body of work. What can you tell us about his on-ice play, opportunity in Buffalo, and his leadership qualities in the locker room?
