    Hmmmm, i'm not sure if i'm happy with that deal or unhappy with it. It kinda seems like he'll be getting a little more than he's worth. I would have thought 3 mil per season would have been plenty. however, it is nice to see that we'll have a little bit of continuity with a veteran.

      and regier eluded to learning from mistakes but stopped short of directly admitting that they s**t the bed with contracts

      the point is ...it is expected that regier and quinn know what they are doing when they are hired...not learn after the fact

      the very idea though that quinn knows the job is a laugh

      he had no business in getting involved in player and contract decisions

      and regier is the one stuck with all the back tracking for quinns idiot policies

      we could have had a powerhouse team

      opportunity lost



      these comments by regier all but directly contradict the lies they came out with to cover themselves

              Anyone still *****ing about Drury and Briere is a ****ing idiot. The Sabres' special teams have improved immensely without those two. As was the case last year, the defensive corps, not the forward group, is the team's weakness. Hopefully, Regier goes out and gets a shutdown D-man if necessary.

              As for Hecht, excellent signing. He's a highly underrated player and the Sabres' best two-way forward.

              Darcy Regier and Larry Quinn know a hell of a lot more than those who have *****ed about them. It's been proven a million times over.

                I think the defensive problem is more a function of how the teams play then it is the personnel necessarily. They're going to give up a ton of chances and goals when they constantly jump into the offensive play. It's been stated many times by Lindy and others that they're willing to sacrifice some chances for the other team in order to get more for themselves.

                Now, I still think they need to be a little better on the defensive end even with that being said... but that's why Ryan Miller needs to be a consistent top end goalie.
