    Paul Hamilton is at the arena and reporting that the Sabres are out of the Richards sweepstakes. Leino may be projected at center. Pegula is not in Newport nor did anybody from the Sabres go there.

    They may have contacted Richards' agent and it didn't look any good from the start this morning.

    Speculation is that they were long shot and also wanted Leino. Wasting time waiting for Richards may have sunk getting Leino.

    Why waste time on someone who didn't want to be here?

    They still have 2 months to find more help at C

    Brad Richards or not... this was an amazing week for this team and they are a whole lot better than last Thursday.

    They were planning on meeting this afternoon but info this morning (possibly the call to the agent) crushed that.

    Leino is projecting at C right now.

    Leino will be a top six forward.

    Hamilton was asked - "Is this the #1 center?" They avoided answering.

    Reiger said, "This is the team we are going with right now".

    This team is not a cup contender...not even close. They need a star center and added a very mediocre to average one in Leino. That is more like the Darcy we are used to. I hope they do something else at the center position because we suck there!

    TGOJK, don't you understand?? Darcy is such a dominant force he has the ability to turn super rich owners into complete idiots and put them under his spell. He had to use all his power to dupe Pegula into pulling out of the race. Darcy is Satan in hockey skates and this team will never be anything as long as he exists...get your garlic and silver spikes!!!

    I love the moves that we've made

    Add: D Regher, D Ehrhoff, F Leino, F Kotalik, 2nd rd 2012, 7th 2012 or 2013

    Subtract: RW Mancari, D Butler, D Montador, C Byron, 4th 2012

    This team is MUCH better than last year and we are a cup contender

    TBH, I wasnt expecting him to sign with buffalo. especially after this turned into a circus of agents and gms camping out his door.

    Resigning Stafford, McCormick and Gerbe at value prices, too.
