It all depends on how bad the routing was compared to the pref. If the filed routing took the A/C on a complete different route then that is a major problem, we are told NOT to take those hand offs. The problem lies with BUF, the A/C should never have gotten off the ground.

The center can refuse the hand off and it is within their right. I have had situation where I tool A/C on terrible routes and gotten denied by the next sector. That starts a whole slew of problems, supervisor intervention, we get counseled for taking the A/C with bad routing.

If you can get the filed route I can probably get you better info.
