GB5 Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Nice, an All-Star signing for under 1.6 million per year. Now if only he could play like a legitimate all-star. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To his credit though, he works his butt off on the ice each and every game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He definitely does, I don't really remember why the fans in Buffalo chose him to vote him in as an all-star but I would assume that his work ethic makes him a fan favorite. That and the fact that he is part of the NHL all-name team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irbe was a streaky goaltender year to year. Can't blame the old guard for only holding onto him for a short time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkstar Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 He was playing solid hockey until Disco Dan Bylsma came in. Can see him improve immensely this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil_314 Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Steal and probably one of the more underrated 3rd line centers out there in the Vermette/ Couturier mold--big, strong, defensively responsible, two-way guy and tough to play against with some offensive potential. IF we didn't pick up guys during the summer I would've been down for Benning to try to bring someone like him in as he would've been a decent complementary player to acquire. Oh well, good for Buffalo to have him hold things down behind ROR and Eich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
