From the same article: In other Sabres news, defenceman Matt Hunwick has been recalled from his conditioning stint with the team's American Hockey League affiliate in Rochester, N.Y.
I'm surprised he's still around. Kind of reminds me of JM Liles. For years I think he's retired post Leafs tenure and there he was with the Canes, still playing... up until 2016, if memory serves.

He had 3 years left on his contract after this season. Per Capfriendly, this would cost Berglund just a shade over $12.5mil.
Nobody in the media has called this a "mutual" termination, so it's not really clear if Berglund is agreeing to this because he hates Buffalo that much (totally reasonable) or if the Sabres are forcing this because of Berglund's no-show.

Unless he really hates Buffalo (which is not outside the realm of possibilities), I'm going to assume he wouldn't just walk away from that kind of money, and this is a breach of contract situation - in which case, I expect the PA to step in for him.

So in a hypothetical scenario, Berglund has his contract terminated, should the Leafs try and sign him to bolster the bottom 6? He's a solid 2-way player and I wonder how much of this is him really hating Buffalo and the whole trade scenario. Quite the way to respond to go to a rival team.

He'd certainly be an upgrade over Gauthier for the 13th forward spot, but playing time/role seemed to be an issue with Buffalo so I kinda doubt he'd come here just to sit in the press box.

I was thinking about him as an upgrade for the 4th line C, but, yeah, with playing time/role being a sticking point with him in Buffalo, not sure he'd go for it.

Yeah he's probably pretty comparable to Lindholm, maybe even a tad better. But Babs seems to have taken a liking to Lindholm so I doubt he'd get bumped out of the 4C spot easily.

I'm not sure I'd want a player on my team that was just suspended for not accepting his role on the Sabres, especially with them playing so well.
Thoughts on this hit:

I'm generally pro-suspending players for head contact... but I really don't see it on that one.

Well he did make contact with the head but I didn't see him target it. I don't know about this one. I guess he should have bent his knees more or something... I don't think this is that bad of a hit.
