The Swedish revolution at the Buffalo Sabres continues in earnest, as the Buffalo Sabres yesterday traded a 5th Round 2017 Draft pick to the St. Louis Blues for goaltender Anders Nilsson.
A big-bodied goalie in the Tim Murray mold was what we had expected, and is exactly what we got too. The 6'5", 227lbs player is signed through till the end of the 2016-17 season at a $1M cap hit.
The folks over at Elite Prospects quite like this goalie, saying -
A huge goaltender that is technically skilled.
