He flies in the face of Pegula's prediction that we will have a Cup contender in three (now two) years. Fears are that we will have to buy him out at some point or demote him to the AHL. Trading him to someone else is all but impossible - but hey, isn't that how we re-acquired Kotalik? - bullwinkle Fri, 03 Aug 2012 08:32:49 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/918-frozen-pool-forensics/4811-forensics-ville-leino#comment-22062 Overall, Leino just isn't an NHL center. He's not a #1 on a line and he's soft too... so the line needs some grit. Playing wing on a line with a guy like Hartnell was an ideal spot for him. Buffalo's best bet is to find that line again, put Leino on the RW with some grit at C or LW. Perhaps this is where the acquisition of Steve Ott fits in. - Pengwin7 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 04:21:58 +0100
