Kaleta and Ellis are decent PK guys.. Probably one of the few reasons Kaleta has a position in this league.

If you can get a 4th line guy like him it is a huge help.. will he put us over the top.. no but he could to some teams. Solid defensively, cheap, energy guy who knows his role

kaletas not even that good. the best penalty killers on the team are porter and flynn. kaleta is on the team because he draws penalties and really for no other reason.

I guess.. he was terrible but I didn't think he was any better than anyone else on the team

I so badly wanted Buffalo to pick him up about 5 years ago..

EVERY team could have used a Mark Recchi.

yost did a thing about the sabres PK and the shots against with kaleta on the ice goes WAY up. his blocked shots are also not even impressive, you just notice it because whenever he blocks one it hurts him so we think hes a warrior

the fact that this statement is fairly accurate is what hurts the most i think

When he was claimed for 500k I was so pissed we didnt pick him up. Perfect role player who would be welcomed on any team.

It truthfully baffles my mind you take the time to write stuff like this. Honest. You will literally say/make up anything.

first of all Paille was drafted in the 1st round. i can understand your disappointment on that but he's a 4th line energy guy on the B's and our top penalty killer. you couldn't use that? draft status aside? and yes Peverley was average but i guess only in terms of statistics. he's perfect on the third line. plays hard and grinds every shift and has the ability to score 15-20 goals. difference maker? no but what 3rd liner is? as for Seidenberg and Horton we'll just give you a mulligan on that. He's our number two defenseman and an absolute beast. 2nd on the Bruins in ice time behind Chara and getting him back was part of this run we've gone on. difference maker? yes. Horton is 2nd in the NHL in playoff scoring and was key to our 2011 Cup run. He's been huge for us. the Bruins have way more skill than you give them credit for. that and they all to a man buy into the idea of protecting the D zone first.

The one thing Buffalo's Ruff-led teams didn't struggle with up until this year, which was just a Murphy's Law type of season, was penalty killing. The Sabres have had more than their fair share of above average penalty killers throughout the years. Paille was in the middle of that pack. Seidenberg is playing well, as is Horton, and I never denied that. My question is: can they replicate that type of play on most other teams? History says no. Horton could always score, but he had a lazy player stigma in Florida. Seidenberg has talent, but make no mistake, he is helped greatly helped by Chara eating minutes. A lot of these guys are maximizing their play because they are in the right environment, not because they are difference makers. And good for them, they still need to actually play the game. All I am saying is, they are not difference makers by themselves. That is what Buffalo sorely needs.
