    Sabres are cheap????

    According to Schopp the payroll is at about 46 million right now. This is all players.

    Once the Rochester guys are subtracted (Mancari, Zagrapan, etc.) they are about 44 or so. Add 3 million or so for Roy, their cap number is about 47.

    Not cheap. Hopefully they can dump Spacek for an used puck. That might free up some room for a guy like Sutton.

    Brilliant. Let both captains go and still manage to find your way into cap Hell.

      They aren't cheap, the FO are a bunch of idiots. They don't manage what they have very well. So much for signing any more FA's.

          and you used to not be an idiot. Wait, your post used to not be idiotic. You should work in the Sabres front office.

            I'm sorry, i've stated my position on this already, I'm no more happy about what happened with Briere and Drury then the rest of you... I hate the policy of not negotiating in season... I just don't see the point in stating it 8 million times on this forum and then blindly looking at everything they do or don't do from here on out as automatically a negative thing.

                It's the Sabres who put themselves in a lose-lose situation.

                I'll go to my grave believing they could have kept all three for around $16-17 mil per year

                    Say they signed both to the supposed 4 or 5 mil a year you all have said they could of months ago. Vanek would be gone for sure! Then you would be crying about that.

                      BS. Only if we let Miller get to the end of his contract, which is the MO around here

                        Another plus to locking up players in advance is they'll get cheaper as the salary cap goes up

                          With the market as it is right now, even if we signed him before his contract was up, it would require huge numbers, which we won't have the money for under your plan of retaining all 3 guys at $17/year.

                            No. Tying the three guys up for 16-20 million dollars would make their cap horrible shape in 3 years when guys like Miller, Stafford, Tallinder, Campbell, Pominville, etc come up for new deals.

                            It is not as simple as you make it sound.
