Former Sabres Forward Heads Overseas After Big NHL Year

A former Buffalo forward is taking his next step overseas after putting together a strong NHL season. That kind of move usually says as much about opportunity as it does about fit, and the market rarely tells the whole story. For a player coming off a good year, this is the sort of decision that can look surprising from the outside and perfectly logical from the inside. Either way, the Sabres connection keeps the story from feeling like a clean break.
