It amazes me that you waste so much time searching for every single one of Crymson's posts, just so that you can disagree with him/bash him.

I kinda am a little surprised , I was hoping that he stayed with the Sabres and helped keep them competitive.

[Andy Pred 48 337]

we don't need him anyway. too small for our new physical game.

we don't need him anyway. too small for our new physical game.

The top teams in the league last year are losing some key players:

Aneheim - Selane will probably retire, Scott Neidemeier probably will retire

Ottawa - may lose there goalie in Emery

Wings - probably lose Schneider

San Jose - no major losses

Buffalo - loses Brier and Druary

Nashville/Hamilton/Kansas City reverts to an expansion team

Did I leave anybody out?

Well Drury will probably be resigned by the Sabres so the bidding war for Briere will quite likely be crazy. Everyone will want a piece of him.

he might end up stayin in the end but you cant be that surprised that hes gonna go and see what offers he can get , its not too often a players gets a chance at unrestricted free agency

on a side note .........

If the Wings are unable to land the unrestricted free agent they’re looking for, they might tender an offer sheet to a restricted free agent, such as Buffalo’s Thomas Vanek or New Jersey’s Zach Parise, with the hope that his team doesn’t match the offer. The Sabres and Devils each have several free agents and not a lot of cap space, so they might opt to take compensation (a number of draft picks, depending on the value of the offer sheet) rather than match an offer. Forwards Dustin Penner of Anaheim, Mike Cammalleri of Los Angeles and defenseman Barret Jackman of St. Louis are other notable restricted free agents.

if they are stupid and go after one of those guys then when filppula or one of our younger guys hit rfa status then some gm might come back to haunt us and offer that player too much money for us to match

The Kings have a LOT of money to spend...Difficult to match any offer they make. I guess you could be a pain to them anyway.
