The South East conference champion Buffalo Sabres sent 26 year old Josef Vasicek to the stanley cup champion Ottawa Senators for $1.00. Vasicek who is from Havlickuv Brod, Czech Repulic was drafted in the first round by the Sabres in the inaugural season dispersal draft 10th overall. He is 6'5'' 212 and plays C/LW.Sabre Coach Phil Housley said, "We like Josef quite a bit and appreciate his big frame and good work ethic but he is about seventh or eighth on our LW depth chart and unfortunately we just don't have room for the kid. Sorry to see him go. We think he will do well in upcoming seasons."
The Sabres LW corps appears deep but Housley may have been using hyperbole in claiming J. Vasicek as his eighth left wing. Buffalo has T.Vanek, A. Semin, J. Hecht, A. Kotalik and P. Gaustad currently listed at left wing on their roster.
