"I think (these signings are) terrific for the hockey team given the amount of time off that we've had," Regier said. "What it means is that our team, for the most part . . . is set going into training camp."
The Sabres were concerned that Afinogenov might have left the NHL to play hockey in his native Russia, where he played during last season's lockout.
"Max is someone who we think could take some of the ice time from Miroslav Satan last year and some of the responsibilities, so for us to get him under contract is great," Regier said.

I really hope that by "for the most part..." means "but we will still sign a couple players fans can get excited about."
Tell me there was something in the "..." please?!
Why would they think Max would play in Russia for a 1/3 of the money? I guess we see the masterplan for replacing Satan. Before anyone says "In the new NHL (yet to be seen) Max will tear it up." If that is so, wouldn't that make Satan a potential 50 goal scorer?
All the games should be value seating.
