Fantasy Analysis
The deal at least keeps him with the franchise after his initial multi-year deal expired. The former first-round pick has 26 points in two minor-league seasons. He got three cup-of-coffee callups to the parent club last season, but didn't see any action; his value is very limited for now in most fantasy formats. (Updated 07/16/2011).

Persson will once again spend 2011-12 in the AHL after Buffalo added to their blue line in the offseason. The Sabres' top pick in the 2006 draft has not progressed like other defenders have within the organization, but the Swedish defender is still only 23. 2011-12 will be a big year in gauging Persson's future with the organization.
