He sucked years ago and has been on a team that made him look great. His confidence has been raised through the roof and he is surrounded by a cast that makes him look fantastic. The Sabres have a very stocked team and opponents cannot focus on him alone during the game. If he leaves for a less talented he will drilled and look like ****. He also has taken a few injuries and had to sit for long stretches, so he is not inhumanly solid.
I hope he takes his bigger money from another team because in the long run his career gets shortened by 5 years thanks to the abuse he will sustain and with even less of a chance for the cup. He would of made at least $5 Million during the end of his career even on the decline and that's $25 Million he will need to make up. That's 12.5 more seasons at the higher price he takes now, so by moving away he is screwing himself.
He also saved himself during the playoffs for his payday and didn't play that hard, sleepwalking through most of it. That's why Drury got a $1 M more a season offer from the Sabres, he took pucks to the face to help us win and Briere just let us fans take it in the ass.
