from John Vogl of the Buffalo News,
Andrew Peters knows there’s still a place for enforcers in the NHL. He also knows Buffalo isn’t one of those places.
The Sabres’ designated tough guy for the last five seasons has resigned himself to the fact he won’t be back for a sixth.
“I don’t even know if there’s been a discussion with Buffalo and my agent at all,” Peters said by phone Monday. “I know that there wasn’t up until July 1, and I don’t think there has been one since.
“It’s unfortunate, but I’ve enjoyed my time here. I’ve loved my time here. I’ve been through good times and bad, with successful teams and not-so-much. I’ve made some lifelong friends and played with some unbelievable guys. If that’s what I come out of hockey with is great friendships and 200 games in the NHL — more than I ever thought I’d play — I did it with a great organization.”

I thought the NHL was making a point that there’s no place in the league for enforcers, especially when they can’t really play the game. 7 points in 200 games? Who’s not going to pass with guys like Lucic floating around who can do both jobs.
