Does the new climate in Buffalo mean that we will now do what we wouldn't do before and go after a restricted free agent?
Look at some of the names of restricted free agents:
Weber, Shea » D NAS 25 $4,500,000 2011 (RFA)
Stamkos, Steven » F TBL 21 $3,725,000 2011 (RFA)
Bozak, Tyler » F TOR 25 $3,725,000 2011 (RFA)
Doughty, Drew » D LAK 21 $3,475,000 2011 (RFA)
Bogosian, Zach » D ATL 20 $3,375,000 2011 (RFA)
Kostitsyn, Andrei » F MTL 26 $3,250,000 2011 (RFA)
Parise, Zach » F NJD 26 $3,125,000 2011 (RFA)
Schenn, Luke » D TOR 21 $2,975,000 2011 (RFA)
Turris, Kyle » F PHO 21 $2,695,833 2011 (RFA)
Ladd, Andrew » F ATL 24 $2,350,000 2011 (RFA)
Callahan, Ryan » F NYR 26 $2,300,000 2011 (RFA)
Wheeler, Blake » F ATL 24 $2,200,000 2011 (RFA)
Bernier, Steve » F FLA 26 $2,000,000 2011 (RFA)
Stralman, Anton » D CLB 24 $1,950,000 2011 (RFA)
Stafford, Drew » F BUF 25 $1,900,000 2011 (RFA)
Dubinsky, Brandon »
What would a pairing of Weber and Myers be like? I would also love to have a guy like Parise, but there is a part of me that would like to sign Callahan or Dubinsky away from the Rangers.

I doubt the Sabres will tread in these waters.

I have hear a rumor that they will pursue Parise.
Callahan is the future Rangers Captain, doubt he leaves.

I highly doubt they do what Edmonton did to them, but this team would sure look a lot different with Drew Doughty on the blueline.

There's nothing to say they couldn't trade for one of them, especially to a team that might be a little cash strapped or not willing to pay that much (formerly Buffalo).

Weber and Stamkos while retaining Stafford.
I doubt TB lets Stamkos go.

I think RFA's are wishful thinking, even with Pegula running the show. It's just too risky-if you miss, you can really screw up the future.
The only possibility is like Chern said: a team willing to trade fairly to unload salaries.

Parise is the only one I see a team wanting to trade because of Salary problems

Problem is:
Offensively, Our PP never gives Myers a position to shoot (Like Boston Does w/ Chara). Its all pass-pass-pass-turnover, They should be letting Myers Bomb it from the Blue Line and tipping in rebounds.
Defensively, no one wants to help him. He was taking on 3 flyers in Game 5 single handily.:air:

A max deal for stamkos and 4 first founders would be worth it

I never understand why people even bother looking at the RFA list.
99.99% of the time any player you'd be willing to give up 4 1sts to get, the team with that players rights matches the offer without a hint of hesitation.
Short of any of these players demanding to get be let go, they will stay with the team who has their rights.
That being said... as a Habs fan i am willing to let AK go for the 4 1sts if you guys want.
But as much as there are some amazing names on that list, just don't even go there. You're wasting your time.

Nothing wrong with trading for a player on that list from a cash strapped team.
