If this is true I'll be one extremely happy camper.

I doubt it's a outrageous contract or else the Brass would have held off until the end of the seaon.

Nice. Ive been checking up all day from class for any info. I'm sort of afraid to see the terms, but as long as its longterm I'll be happy.

[Jame]

great news. can't wait to hear the details.

I keep thinking of the line from Dumb and Dumber.... and i think it applies to Regier in comparison of last offseason to this offseason.

"Just when I think you can't be stupider.... you go and do something like this..... AND COMPLETELY REDEEM YOURSELF"

I think only one response is necessary here.


Woo-woooo!

[Dubi Doo]

Im am so happy right now! I heard some one say it's 5 years at a little over 5 mill per. If thats true, I will mos def take it! Woo Hoo! I give a solid A for this off season. Good Job Regier!

[LoveDaSlug]

Obviously waiting for terms...but the is FANTASTIC news!!

Now here's who's FA next year:

UFA
Connolly
Afinogenov
Kotalik
Peters
Spacek
Numminen

RFA
Sekera
Stafford

Do you try to work out extensions with any? Or wait until the end of the season?

But the core is set, and that is GREAT news.

You know, I came here to get this scoop, only to find WGR broke it 15 minutes before my text came in...

Good news, though.

Let ALL the UFA's walk. The money is better spent on RFA who will get significant raises, and letting a new youth movement populate the lower half of the lineup (Weber, Butler, Gerbe, Gogulla, Zags, Kennedy, etc)

[Chainshot]

Excellent news. Thanks Devo.

[gaf]

awesome news..
Cant wait to see the figures...

Only real unresolved issue is what to do w/ Max if anything...

[Weezel RX7]

awesome news! as hard as it is to keep a guy for his career nowadays, i hope we get this guy for a long time!

5 year extension, no $$ yet.

Here's the link from the Sabres site:

Interesting photo they used. He has the "C" on.

Think he will be named the permanent captain?

[SabresEdge]

Sweet, now we let the scrubs walk next year and will have some money to play with!

[sacre_bleu]

Woohoo

I saw Roy, Stafford and a couple of other younguns at lunch today at a place on Delaware Avenue across from the Buffalo Club. They looked rested and ready.

It was kind of depressing though to realize how much taller I am than Derek Roy.

we could keep connolly and kotalik for little more than their already making now so i dont see any reason not too if they have solid years this season.
max is going to get a big offer if he does good this year and hes gone either way.
spacek can be replaced. hes a good complementary playerbut replaceable.
numminen will retire regardless.

so basically we finally have our core intact. id like to keep staff and connolly as guys that arent nesecarilly core players but tertiary players. we will see.

Great offseason, Darcy. Now let's drop the puck.

[Sabre]

Great news!

My investment a couple years ago in jersey's of younger players continues to pay off (Vanek, Roy, Pommers, Goose & Stafford)!

[Penalty Killa]

i just got the text now and i woo-hoo'd in my office.

5 x 5 maybe???

I know there is nothing to support this, but I think Staff will be a core player. He will be a leader, and has skill that he needs to develop. He is still a pup. Maybe we go with a poor mans Brendan Morrow.

Back to Poms...solid!!!! I think that is good investing.

[SabresEdge]

I'd try to sign Erik Cole with money saved next year.
