Ironic, how Zem-Gooose was wearing #28 in development cap...since he was traded (in the grand scheme of things) for #28 Paul"Goose"Gaustad.

Zemgus Girgensons is expected to start the season with Buffalo’s AHL affiliate, the Rochester Americans.
When asked about Girgensons, Sabres coach Lindy Ruff told the media “He (Girgensons) already has a man body. He’s strong enough to handle the heavy bodies down there.”

I love it. This is the guy who will be wearing the "C" on his sweater in just a few years.....let's hope he's in the blue and gold wearing that "C" for the next decade and a half! (Big expectations, I know.....)
I think it's great he wanted to finish his college career, but I'm happy he signed.
