i think they might be holding on to marty untill they get miller locked up, keep marty around as some leverage/insurance incase miller doesnt sign/wants too much money/holds out or whatever…

That’s what they’re saying is happening. The Sabres have one more arb case today with Mair, which speculation is he will be making around 2 yrs. $1 mil. After that they will focus on Miller, and then possibly sign and trade JP with Biron to either St. Louis or Colombus for Dmen, and picks.

that was stupid. sign and trade packaged with biron would have been a lot better. You don’t let him walk for nothing

I really fucking hope vanek gets his act together. He started out as one of my favorite players on the team, with lydman being my least favorite. By the end of the season it was completely the opposite.
JP was part of the stanley cup winning team. Saying that “someone else can step up in place of him” may not work.

the sabres offered dumont a multi year deal after they walked away from the 2.9, we could technically still sign him
