Nice! I was hoping they would keep McCormick. He was the unsung hero, voted on by the whole team.

was that the tendered QO?

So it's going to come down to the Sabres vs the Rangers...who can spend the most and who is more attractive. Hmmm....I'm getting excited!!!

Nope. He originally signed a 1-year qualifying offer. Now they just locked him up for 3-years.

I really like our chances... What do you think it might be? I think it's 75% chance we land him.

Re: Official July 1 Free Agency thread - Sabres news

Make the biggest offer and then compare NY with us head to head... I like how we look in that comparison:

Solid coaching, great goalie, owner who is willing to spend, solid defense (with Regher and Ehrhoff) great young guys, great prospects...

Other than Torterella, why would Richards pick NYR?

Owner willing to sling out LARGE Signing Bonus' and fly w/ wife and coach to come meet you

I think you're arguing that the Sabres would win... Terry would absolutely go to meet him.

According to capgeek.com the Sabres now have the 2nd largest payroll in the league.

Because the NHL isn't like that. They said Brad Richards is with his agent in Mississauga, ON.

YOu say thatlike the rumor mongers care. :)

I stillhave my fingers crossed on a ******ed stamkos deal. Let me have it for a few more minutes before the idea is totally killed.

But still have enough cap space for Richards.

I was thinking about 70-75%. It depends on how big of an issue the coach is. He really liked playing for the Rangers coach. I have a feeling that the big contract to Ehrhoff is definitely helping sway him towards strongly considering the Sabres. And we know that Pegula, his wife and Lindy Ruff will most likely be at his house begging him to come, as of noon today. Plus, Pegula could sell 100,000 snow plows to Arizona. I have a feeling that he could easily sell the city of Buffalo to Richards.
