WTF are they waiting for?????
The Buffalo Sabres are officially inventors. They’ll have to be really creative if they want to keep their two co-captains past Sunday morning. The NHL free agent market opens in four days, and it appears the Sabres are no closer to retaining either Chris Drury or Daniel Briere. An NHL source said Tuesday that Briere still has not received a contract offer, while Drury’s agent had no comment on negotiations (or lack thereof).
The Sabres continued their tightlipped policy.
“I think that the less said the better right now, and we’ll go from there,” managing partner Larry Quinn said.
Briere is said to have received only one brief phone call. Drury’s agent, Mark Witkin, declined to update his client’s status. The Sabres’ exclusive negotiating rights to both players are set to expire. The other 29 teams can extend contract offers at one minute past noon Sunday.
