One of the more interesting moves of the Buffalo Sabres offseason was the trade to acquire defenseman Henri Jokiharju in exchange for Alex Nylander. The 2017 first-round pick came over from the Chicago Blackhawks with a lot of potential.
He played big minutes with the Blackhawks for the first half of last season before being sent down to the AHL when new head coach Jeremy Colliton took over behind the bench. The Finnish defender came to the Sabres with the reputation of being a solid puck mover with a high ceiling.
