The Sabres traded for the rights to Regehr, then signed Gerbe.
Last night on the NHL network, they had about a segment about the Sabres that probably went close to 10 minutes. It started with a phone interview with Gerbe about the new contract, the Portland/Rochester situation and some general NHL chat, then they went on to talk about the Sabres FA/cap situation.
Then today, I see the Sabres got the rights to Ehrhoff, who was one of the FA targets mentioned for the Sabres on NHLN.
There is still no guarantee that these moves will pan out, and there is no guarantee the Sabres will make a huge FA splash tomorrow like we are expecting, but for once, a Buffalo team is working hard to improve, money be damned. And they're actually getting positive attention from national media.
It feels like a Buffalo team actually gives a **** for the first time since the Bills signed Sam Adams, Spikes and Fletcher. It's a good feeling- just one I'm not used to.
