Regier: Sabres' roster good to go
Today's signing of Nathan Paetsch gives the Sabres a complete roster, and GM Darcy Regier isn't afraid to go into battle with the 13 forwards, seven defensemen and two goalies he has right now.
"I think it probably is a strong possibility that this is the group we will start the season with," Regier told The Buffalo News today.
The Sabres' salary-cap number is at about $46.13 million. That's more than $2 million over what they spent last season, when they went right up to the cap. The ceiling was raised to $50.3 million for the upcoming season.
So as managing partner Larry Quinn projected before the team lost co-captains Daniel Briere and Chris Drury, the Sabres will spend more than last season, but stay well below the max.
