Sabres Ink Hodgson to Multi-Year Contract Extension.

From Buffalo News:

Anyone who spends his summers sweating through Gary Roberts’ high-performance workouts is either a dedicated athlete or a fan of pain. Cody Hodgson doesn’t seem masochistic, so he must want to be a better hockey player.

The Buffalo Sabres certainly think so. They’ve rewarded the 23-year-old with a six-year, $25.5 million contract. They’ve made him their unquestioned No. 1 center. They’re prepared to live with his mistakes while believing the long-term payoff will be worth the miscues.

...

This looks like money well spent. They might have to suffer through the pain of the "learning curve" for a bit.

Could be a steal in a few years, we'll have to wait n see

Too bad the Canucks were stupid enough to piss him off. Moving Kesler to wing with him at Center and Burrows at the other wing the Canucks would have an awesome second line right now.

And they should've kept Sammy at wing with the Sedins so we wouldn't have that problem right now. Ha ha.

Ya Kassian for Hodgson is a pretty bad trade.
