You are way over-reacting and panicking Mikey. You sound like the tools on WGR.Originally posted by mysticsotoComment

Re: Vanek Courting can begin Tomorrow
Fine, but don't forget I told ya so when we lose both Chris Drury and Danny Briere....along with Zubrus and have to overpay big time just to hold onto Vanek....Originally posted by Dr.LecterComment

Re: Vanek Courting can begin Tomorrow
okay fine. But aren't you a little worried about the fact that Darcy hasn't even sent an offer to either Chris Drury or Daniel Briere? If you are those guys and you suddenly got an offer 3 days before Free agency...what would you do? My guess....you'd go to free agency and test the market. And you would get signed pretty damn fast. I heard from ESPN that San Jose has already put the money aside from Drury and is ready for him to become a free agent. He'll be the first player signed IMO!Originally posted by BlackMetalNinjaComment

Re: Vanek Courting can begin Tomorrow
Vanek deserves $3-4M per season. I think a 5 year $22M deal is where he'll end up. Which I feel is a little high. Vanek is good, but he's a product of the system, he has the hands, but not the legs to completely take over a game.Comment

Re: Vanek Courting can begin Tomorrow
So it would be OK to overpay for Drury and Briere, but not Vanek?Originally posted by Mikey82
Darcy has built this team from the ground up. Does he deserve the benefit of the doubt?Originally posted by mysticsotoComment

Re: Vanek Courting can begin Tomorrow
Why didn't we sign these guys earlier in the year?Originally posted by Mikey82
Darcy seems very laid back, I don't know what he has in mind but as each day passes I get a little more jittery. Saturday is my birthday so maybe he saving the surprise until then, it would be a great present.Comment

Re: Vanek Courting can begin Tomorrow
I believe the Sabres have to overpay for Vanek....but if they let him touch the market....they are going to have to shell out ridiculous amounts of money for him or risk losing him for only a 1st, 2nd and 3rd.Originally posted by Dr.LecterComment

Re: Vanek Courting can begin Tomorrow
The problem is today he, and his agent, can get an idae of what he's worth on the open market. This could potentially handcuff the Sabresin not being able to sign Briere or Drury.Originally posted by Mikey82Comment

Re: Vanek Courting can begin Tomorrow
That's a good point and that might be why they aren't offering the money that Drury and Briere will receive. They are trying to save room to pay Vanek $5 million a year, that goes up to like $8 million in a few years.....Originally posted by carybillsfanComment

Re: Vanek Courting can begin Tomorrow
BS. you take a 100 goals of production, countless leadership and you put off negotiations till the last possible week. When both players are so close to hitting the market they just may say screw it. Lecter i'll give darcy credit for building this team, but ill also give him credit for being a moron for draging his feet. Then you leave vanek unsigned so teams can jack up our pay roll? Im sorry i don't see anything here that i would call smart buisness management.Originally posted by Dr.Lecter

Re: Vanek Courting can begin Tomorrow
this is from the Press Conference when they announced re-signing of Lindy and Darcy.
Q: Are you talking with Thomas Vanek's agent? Are you trying to get something done before he may get a restricted offer?
Regier: No, I'm not a believer in operating out of fear. I've seen it take place in this business, where you have to absolutely have somebody and you pay for it. You pay for it because of some rumor. The reality is (that) there's a market value. He's a very good player. He's a very important player. There's a market value and you have to stay the course. You have to be looking at things on a longer term - not just on a short-term reaction. The other part is that I think we'll be fine with Thomas at the end of the day, I believe.Comment
