[quote=“ILCisDEAD,post:3338,topic:25170"”] oh god and vanek is gonna want a contract this year, and Roy. ITs really gonna be an interesting one. [/quote] fwiw and for how much i bash on vanek, hes going to DESERVE a solid contract after the season he’s having, the biggest stat being that hes **PLUS 37** which is second best only to lidstrom whos been the leagues top defenseman for the past century, first in goals, second in PP goals, and most shots on goal…he’ll get a good contract… shit, even roy is having a solid season, second in buff in +/-, almost 50 points, averaging almost 20 minutes a game…thats respectable…not worthy of huuuuuuuuuuuuuuge contract but a good one to show our dedication to him staying a sabre kotalik on the other hand, sitting at -2 is amongst the worst on the team, is having a somewhat lacking season, and really has only come on as of late and in shootouts…if he hadnt of gone down, i bet he would have been traded off…we don’t need his bloated contract to pay for a shootout only player… --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/official-buffalo-sabres-thread/25170)._
