5pm Thursday.
Thats the deadline for players and their agents to file for Arbitration.
The player reserves he right to go to Arbitration. The team reserves the right to accept or decline the judge's contract ruling.
The Summer of 2006 saw 12 Buffalo Sabres- including Briere and Dumont-- file for Arbitration. Some would say that Danny's one year, $5 million Arb award, was the beginning of his end in Buffalo.
This time around, the Sabres have three such Arb elligible players:
Derek Roy
Nathan Paetsch
Andrew Peters.
