This is what cracks me up about this situation and makes me realize why Buffalo has never won a national championship.

Buffalo offered Briere a five-year, $25 million deal on Wednesday evening that was immediately turned down by Pat Brisson, Briere’s agent.
…
The source also said Briere wanted to remain in Western New York to please his family and that could have been accomplished if the Sabres bumped their offer to $6 million per season. The Sabres did NOT make another offer to Briere and that’s when the former co-captain decided to pursue other options; options that eventually made him even richer.
Cant blame him if buffalo could not give one of their leading players an extra million per year. Esp. if you knew that you can lose either Drury and recover some money to pay him the extra million.
Also, I know a girl whos mom teachers Briere’s kid and when she spoke with him, he also said he wanted to stay in Buffalo. Darcy Regier basically gave Briere a slap in the face with this offer and this season the team will have to suffer for it.
