Zemgus Girgensons is dodging rumors in a way that would make Neo proud.

The Buffalo Sabres forward had an amusing response to a Latvian report claiming he was considering a deal with KHL club Dinamo Riga.

Girgensons is a pending restricted free agent who carried an NHL cap hit of about $830,000 last season.

The 22-year-old had his worst campaign from a production standpoint, posting only 18 points in 71 games.

Girgensons recorded 70 points in 202 contests in his first three seasons with the Sabres, who drafted him 14th overall in 2012.
