Now is notthe time for the Sabres to go all-in on a UFA. Unless his name is **Sheldon Souray**. Or, Mike Comrie. WORD SHELDON SOURAY PLEASE STILL He and Drew Stafford have Lecavalier and St. Louis written all over them! Pull the RFA trigger, only if it makes sense! drew stafford, I’ve been trying to tell people this for ever… he is going to be a 30goal 45 assist or better player next year ---
