The market is as inflated at the end of Day 2 as it was on Day 1. Quietly, Darcy Regier and the Sabres sit and wait for the right trades to materialize. Passionate Sabre fans should be ecstatic that your GM didn't have to pan for fool's gold. Sather, Waddell, Rutherford, Tallon, Snow, and Fletcher could not resist the temptat Wed, 02 Jul 2008 22:09:01 -0400darcy regier ufa dmen buffalosabres http://www.hockeybuzz.com/blog.php?post_id=16010 6:50pm EDT: Now that The #1 Dman, Brian Campbell has been grossly overpaid by Chicago, its time of the conga line of Dmen to begin. Buffalo want a Dman and there is an abundant crop avaialble to them (Orpik, Redden, Streit, Mara, DiPenta). Question is, are they willing to pay the inflated July 1 rate? Campbell is a $7.1 guy; Roszival is a $5 million guy now that he re-ups Tue, 01 Jul 2008 14:53:30 -0400brian campbell chicago blackhawks buffalo sabres patrick lalime http://www.hockeybuzz.com/blog.php?post_id=15966 The Sabres have announced that they have agreed to terms with centre Paul Gaustad on a four year extension. Just another brick in the wall. Great move by Darcy Regier and the Sabres. Goose is one hell of a versatile centreman who can dominate play against the other team's top line, kill penalties, play the PP, and is a beast in the faceoff dot. *** Ryan Miller's agent, Mike Liut wi Mon, 30 Jun 2008 20:03:07 -0400buffalo sabres http://www.hockeybuzz.com/blog.php?post_id=15930 Sticker Shock is not only a phenomenon that exists in the automotive sector. Its alive and kicking in the NHL. Example: Brian Campbell. Soup will command heavy action on the UFA market come Tuesday. He'll likely end up getting north of 7 Large per season as he is the #1 UFA Dman in a thin market. Thats a ton of crackers for a bowl of soup. Toronto, Ottawa and the Rangers will all step u Sun, 29 Jun 2008 10:54:25 -0400brian campbell http://www.hockeybuzz.com/blog.php?post_id=15920 The rooks and prospects had just finished their sixty minutes cool down bike session when I happened upon them this morning at Niagara University. Doug McKenney is a stickler for the cardioand the core work-outs. His charges are being baptized into his cardio culture. Early to bed , early to rise at this hotel. The kids were on the ice from 7am until 9am. They then hit the cardio room Sat, 28 Jun 2008 13:05:13 -0400buffalo sabres http://www.hockeybuzz.com/blog.php?post_id=15916 The Buffalo Sabres have to be thrilled at the reception that their kids have created in Lewiston, NY this week. The Sabres circus pulled in to town on Wednesday, and two twin big top tents are busting at the seams with curious fans. This is not your average travelling roadshow. This camp is heavy on the substance and light on the style. The rookies and prospects are making fast friends on th Fri, 27 Jun 2008 21:44:41 -0400buffalo sabres http://www.hockeybuzz.com/blog.php?post_id=15888 Darcy Regier wants to keep the young, productive core intact. He moved five steps closer to building a better mousetrap today. Gaustad, Paille, Bernier, MacArhur, and Mancari have all been made qualifying offers. Terms not known yet. Goose and Paille will likely double their salraies moving forward. Bernier will get a 5% bump, and Mac will get a 10% cha-ching. Great nmews for Sabre Nation Wed, 25 Jun 2008 20:48:55 -0400buffalo sabres http://www.hockeybuzz.com/blog.php?post_id=15867 Darcy Regier will be busy in the coming hours. He's currently preparing qualifying offers for his RFAs. Gaustad, Paille, Bernier, and MacArthur are all key cogs in the Sabres machine. I've been told that all four Sabres will be qualified. I look for Goose to double his $750K salary. Ditto Paille. Those of you who've been reading my blog for the past three years know that I'm a huge Dan Pa Tue, 24 Jun 2008 18:19:14 -0400Niagara University buffalo sabres http://www.hockeybuzz.com/blog.php?post_id=15804 The Sabres wasted little time. They zeroed in on their area of need and the found their man. He'll block shots, he plays an aggressive style in front of his net, he has a tremendous stick, and a wicked wingspan. He can pass and skate well for a man his size. Tyler Myers is now a Buffalo Sabre. Congratulations to Darcy Regier, Kevin Devine, Jon Christiano and the Sabres scouting department.

The guy can flat out play NHL hockey, however, its time for a change of scenery. He 's an enigma wrapped in a paradox. I hear that Vancouver, Minnesota, Washington, Florida, Anaheim and Atlanta are expressing interest. Fri, 20 Jun 2008 17:27:21 -0400buiffalo sabres max afinogenov
