They’ve tried to be innovative, and have indeed been frugal with free agent dollars, but just a tiny bit of number crunching shows this cheapskate reputation is unfounded.

But after a scintillating junior year at Boston College where he led the Eagles to a national championship, Gerbe is suddenly one of the players that Sabres fans are singling out at camp.
