This is the man we need to keep here when all is said and done.

I wanna have Drury's babies.

Re: Chris Drury

We've got a better chance of keeping him than Briere...That's for sure.

I hope he does stay on after this year. There's enough talent on the team to help try to cover the loss of Briere, but Drury leaving would create a huge void in the leadership department.

Re: Chris Drury

Drury means a lot more to the team IMO. I'm hoping to keep both but if they can only keep one, Drury is the one.

Re: Chris Drury

We're losing one for sure, and I wouldn't be surprised if we lost both.

That's a discussion for after the time we raise the Cup, though

Re: Chris Drury

I am not worried about losing Drury as much as losing Briere and Vanek.

Re: Chris Drury

I'd love to have them both, but if I need to choose, then I would pick Briere. We have Drury's replacement on the roster right now...his name is Drew Stafford. This guy will be a leader with more talent than Drury. I really like Stafford's game and think he will only get better.

You can't be serious.

Vanek is a restricted free agent so he should be able to be kept for a few more years.

Stafford is no where near the leader Drury is....Drew needs Drury around a few more years to teach him the ropes. Nobody is a better leader than Drury.

Re: Chris Drury

Drury's an awesome leader, but he wouldn't leave a void ... they wouldn't have given Briere a C if he wasn't a leader too.

Re: Chris Drury

Briere will cost a lot more money IMO. I just hope Drury WANTS to stay.

There is also a nice interview of him in the GR55 audiovault from today's afternoon show.

Drury is one of the best leaders in the NHL.

Saying he would not leave a void is turning a blind eye to the obvious.

Drury holds this team together on the ice.

I keep thinking about a team giving him a huge contract that the Sabres can't match. The team on the other hand signing him won't be to worried about giving up the first five round draft picks for a future superstar.
