bad news/worse news bad > Other Sabres opting for salary arbitration were forwards Tim Connolly, J.P. Dumont, Paul Gaustad, Ales Kotalik, Adam Mair, Andrew Peters, Jason Pominville, and defensemen Brian Campbell, Toni Lydman and Henrik Tallinder. thats a whole lot of arbitration and worse > The Sabres also learned Wednesday that assistant coach Scott Arniel was named head coach of the Manitoba Moose, the Vancouver Canucks’ AHL affiliate. He played a key role on NHL coach of the year Lindy Ruff’s staff last season, overseeing a power-play unit which converted 21 percent of its chances to finish third in the league. that fucking SUCKS…arniel is such a great coach and a great PERSON, and now he’s flying the coop…granted not his fault, but he was awesome to talk to at brennans when him, ruff, and mchutchenson all came in after games… ---

Wow! I’m surprised Max didn’t go the arbitration route. He wants out of Buffalo. I heard Detroit is interested in him and Biron. Perhaps for Zetterburg!!!\<—Tallinder’s buddy!! EDIT: Nevermind. According to [NHL.com](http://NHL.com), Max filed for arbitration too. Add Briere to that list too. ---

One of the forwards are definately going to get traded…I can see Cambell on the way out as well…thats a lot of $$$ for Spacek but when you consider Mckee getting $4 million a year than its not too bad I guess ---
