By the way, I was under the assumption that the Sabres tried to sign Vanek and Miller to contract extentions and were rebuffed by the players, so of course they had to try to get what they could for them. They weren't going to win anytime soon WITH them, so they certainly wanted to get something for them before they left.
Positioning your team for a shot at one of the best talents to come along in many years is just smart, as long as you know you have no chance at winning now. What would signing older vets for huge salaries to try and make 8th place accomplish? They still don't have the goaltending.
