The Apologist
With their first pick in the 2009 Draft, the Buffalo Sabres drafted Zack Kassian, an 18-year-old forward from LaSalle, Ontario. I think I speak for my colleagues here at DGWUSports when I say this comes as a breath of fresh air after years of drafting players who are closer to Daniel Briere than Jay McKee. The initial word coming out about Kassian is that he was the best 'tough guy' in the draft, which is music to my ears (if I may use back-to-back cliches).
We'll try to bring you more about Kassian and his fellow draftees in the days to come...
