I like that the Sabres are trying to beef up their team but this is way too much money for a 3rd line winger.
Vilie Leino has been inked to a six-year deal with the Buffalo Sabres worth $27 Million.
In 81 games with the Philadelphia Flyers last season Leino had career highs with both 19 goals and 53 points.
Leino was originally signed by the Detroit Red Wings from Jokerit of the Finnish Elite League in 2008 and spent the first two years of his NHL career in Motown.
