Joe Finley News
Wow, the #Sabres have recalled defenseman Joe Finley, who signed an NHL contract Monday. #Buffalo #thatwasquick

Finley will replace Jordan Leopold this weekend. The former 27th overall pick may be a decent source of PIM after playing a rugged, physical game in Rochester.

Watch for news out of Buffalo on former UND star and client Joe Finley signing a multi year NHL contract with Sabres.

The former first round pick has been a nice surprise down in Rochester, posting 57 PIM in 18 games. The 6'8" defender could be used in the NHL at some point this season.

BUFFALO, N.Y. (September 26, 2011) --- Buffalo Sabres General Manager Darcy Regier today announced the team has assigned the following 14 players to the Rochester Americans (AHL): Forwards Marcus Foligno, Zack Kassian, Jonathan Parker, Michael Ryan, Colin Stuart, Corey Tropp, Phil Varone and Derek Whitmore; defensemen TJ Brennan, Joe Finley, Brayden McNabb, Dennis Persson and Drew Schiestel; and goaltender Drew MacIntyre.

No immediate fantasy hockey value in the AHL.
