watch them sign vanek for one more year, wait till the end of the season when he racks up another 40+ goals then try to get him long term. when are they gonna learn if you dont wanna spend big money give multi year deals before players have break out seasons. ---

For all of you who want Souray. [http://www.nhl.com/nhl/app?service=page&page=PlayerDetail&playerId=8460561&tab=crst](http://www.nhl.com/nhl/app?service=page&page=PlayerDetail&playerId=8460561&tab=crst) 5-6 million for ONE good season and a -28? No effing way. Souray would be the worst move Buffalo could make. edit- They signed Mair yesterday, at least. ---

I just hope they don’t sign someone expensive just because they have the money to do so. Souray is not the guy that they need.
