Buffalo hasn't tried using Delmore at all in this manner, it is a philospohical difference between the teams.

That's the exact reason. Kimmo is the best defenseman in the league that no one knows about.

Amen to that. And I've posted priorly (maybe just in the Sabres.com forum) about how the SYSTEM produces players like *elmore/Zidlicky. We can't even say *elmore is a horrible player (well, defensively he is) because the Sabres' system is different from Nashville's. I thought Woolley was better than *elmore, but both of them struggled because of the PP system.
