  • Klesla won't report to Sabres

    Rostislav Klesla will not be joining the Buffalo Sabres.

    The 31-year-old defencemen was traded from the Washington Capitals alongside goalie Michal Neuvirth to the Sabres for goalie Jaroslav Halak and a third-round selection on Trade Deadline day. Klesla was traded the day before from Phoenix to Washington.

    "With all due respect to the Sabres organization, I decided this week not to continue playing hockey this season. It has been a tough year for injury and moving several times to new teams,” Klesla said in a statement.

    “I will now take some time off and get ready to continue my career in Europe. I would like to thank my fans and all the people that have helped me. I am grateful for the career I have had in the NHL and all the people that I have met along the way who have supported me and my family."

    In 25 games with the Coyotes this season, Klesla had one goal and three assists with a minus-3 rating.

    If this is the end of Klesla's time in the NHL, he'll have finished with 48 goals and 111 assists in 659 career games.

        It's certainly strange...do the Sabres get any sort of compensation for that?

            And what's the chance that the Capitals knew about his plans before trading him?
