Contract

Bernier is on a three year entry-level contract worth US$3.55 million, which will expire in June 2008. This deal includes $850,000 in yearly salary as well as a one million dollar signing bonus.

That makes this trade even better!

Re: CAMPBELL TRADED TO SHARKS

He fills a need and looks like a decent player. But they could have gotten more. There was a lot of teams interested in Campbell.

Yes there were other teams interested, but that doesn't mean there deals were any better. A first round draft pick is nothing to scoff at.

Contract expires but he is a RFA in June.

It is when you don't have a scouting staff anymore. 1st rounders are definitely hit or miss in the NHL.

Well...we'll have to see how this effects our play.

Face it, we weren't too hot WITH Campbell because we couldn't score...so this better pay some divedends because I really don't think Sabres fans are going to settle for anything less than the playoffs considering all the moves. You don't make moves to get worse, you make them to get better, and it seems like all the moves we've made over the past year has made us considerably worse.

And you know what offers were made?

You are over-reacting.

Re: CAMPBELL TRADED TO SHARKS

At least he can fight. Maybe this guy has the toughness that this team has been lacking since we lost Grier.....

Re: CAMPBELL TRADED TO SHARKS

Yeah, this guy does look like he's meant to be a Sabre.

Exaclty what we need more of is toughness and grit and some fight. We have sorely lacked it.

He'll be changing his uniform number.

Re: CAMPBELL TRADED TO SHARKS

I don't know much about this guy, but I do know that Steve Bernier and a 1st round pick for Campbell is MUCH better than what we got for our 2 big free agents last year!

That fact that he is a RFA in June is ok, will resign him and who knows maybe part of the deal was a new contact as he comes to the Sabres!

"Better than nothing" is the new standard here. Thanks, Larry.

I guess that is the point. It is better than nothing.

And they better sign him at the end of the year!
