Post subject:  Sabres who Moved on to Better or Worse

After seeing none other than SPACEK effectively shut down (of all people) Alex Ovechkin, resulting in ZERO shots on goal for the Great 8 in game 1 against the Habs, it made me wonder which notable former Sabres moved on to be BETTER or WORSE on other teams?

Among others:
Drury
Briere
Satan
McKee
Afinogenov
Conklin
Campbell
Kalinin :D

I'll do a run down on all of them now:

Drury- he fit in well with our system, still the same player but on a more defensive oriented team, and he is by far one of their best PKers and a clutch guy when needed. Won't score that often like when he was here, but good for 50-60 points a year still.

Briere- Well he is still an offensive guy you need to watch out for, he's been injured a lot for the Flyers but when he is playing you better watch out. He is still capable of putting up over 80 points if healthy.

Satan- Getting old now, won't ever put up 40 goals again. Never was the same after he left Buffalo.

McKee- Spent much of his last few years injured, never was a guy to count on for offense, but he's a bruiser, and he racked up some PIMs for Pittsburgh.

Afinogenov- Well when we went to a more defensive oriented system he failed, went back to an offense first system he flourished. He needed out, but I doubt we'll see this same production out of the guy again, unless he is only playing for a contract every year.

Conklin- He's a great backup, but for some reason he just sucked with us, seems like we are doomed for the terrible backup syndrome.

Campbell- His year split between the Sharks and us will probably be his best year in his career. Still don't hear too much about him, but he is still a PP QB on any team and can score 10 goals a year to help you out, offense still is better then his defense and he hasn't been missed too much, especially with the emergence of Myers.

Kalinin- Out of the NHL now, this guy never learned, and we had high hopes for him. And you know your defense sucks when you have Kalinin on your Olympic Team.

Ironically, the ONLY goals the stacked Russian team scored against Canada, were scored by Afinogenov and Kalinin!

Haha that is pretty ironic to be truthfully honest.

Truthfully honest? As opposed to untruthfully honest?

If you want to factor in contracts, none are better, but several aren't really worse either.

My favorite was last night when Satan would touch the puck, and the whole plaza would boo.

Haha, I just thought this quote works kinda.

Drury - NYC hates him, he makes too much
Briere - his groin is shot, lost most of his play-making touch, Philly hates him (and, hilariously, his wife!), makes too much
Dumont - is Nashville's perennial leading scorer, top line winger, veteran mentor, makes about what he should

That's all I feel like doing right now
