Screamin'Weasel Posted July 23, 2008 Report Posted July 23, 2008 Hasn't the Sabres contention all along been looking towards the future and not getting bogged down with heavy contracts for older players? I don't know if it is as much "hindsight" as much as it was not being able to hear what the Sabres were saying through all the hysteria. I also think the only "convenient" aspect of this conversation is the lumping together of all the players that left in an attempt to establish a pattern of unwillingness to pay for talent. Taking each player individually and discussing all aspect of their departure would bare different results. Thank you. That is what I have been saying was my whole problem with the original article from my first post. It is just plain inaccurate.

Guest Sloth Posted July 23, 2008 Report Posted July 23, 2008 I'm just going to throw this out there. I don't think the Sabres have changed a thing in regards to free agency. We can look back at all the players that left and feel the Sabres have done things wrong in that regards. I don't think it's the case. Drury being the exception. I think all the players are gone because the Sabres plan all along was to make sure they were in good position to get Roy, Vanek, Gaustad, Miller and Pominiville signed long term and build the team from the goal out. I don't feel the Miller signing is any deviation from how they have done business in the past. As the Joker said "It's all part of the plan". :thumbsup: Thank you! Someone finally said it. It cracks me up when I see people arguing one way or the other. None of us are in the FO, so none of us can say what they're doing/not doing behind closed doors. I'll take Ryan Miller's word over anyone's on this board. The Sabres have a group of key players FO is building around and they have people in the farm system who will make a significant impact. Bringing in Rivet was HUGE and Sekera and Weber are two good young defensemen. Wasn't Sekera a plus 12? You should listen to Ryan Miller. If the Sabres didn't have their chosen key players to build around, do you honestly think they would've matched Edmonton's offer for Vanek? Keep up the arguments people. It is pure entertainment to see two groups tearing apart their ideas of what is going on.
