Bill Hoppe of Buffalo Hockey Beat: Buffalo carries some valuable assets as the trade deadline approaches. Those include several UFA’s to be at the end of the season. The problem exists when one looks at their whole body of work but some do offer potential.
Jimmy Vesey: The biggest example of what might have been could be Jimmy Vesey. Vesey scoring 20 goals for Buffalo just never materialized but he is on that pace lately. As the deadline approaches, Vesey found his scoring touch just in time. Also, the winger figured out how to play without the puck better.
