MAK Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 7years/50M the sabres would recieve 4 1st rounders as a comepnsation. TSN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saskhab Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 Wow. Vanek is about to become one of the NHL's highest paid players. This is quite exciting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazer Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 Vanek is good and maybe even under rated but 7 million? NHL is truly officially back to the old Guerin/Yashin contract era (First post after a long time Go Habs Go ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain_Stealth Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 Aparently the buffalo radio guy says the Sabres will most likely match. If they do, the Oilers RFA's could be in trouble in future years. Man is Lowe desperate right now......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InsaneHABSfan Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 Buffalo sports station this week was talking about Vanek. They said that he is worth more than Higgins, K-Rex, Plek and Ryder all together. Now I know this guy is talented but I ask you, how would he fill all three guys positions I love the city of Buffalo and this signing is going to make the Whine Line (as they call it) just go crazyyyyyyyyyyyyy.....

InsaneHABSfan Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 HA, just turned on WGR550 AM in Buffalo and they are really ragging on the Sabre management. SIGN HIM NOW is what they want. WoW, Edmonton better not hope to trade with Buffalo ever again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WoW, Edmonton better not hope to trade with Buffalo ever again. Trade with Buffalo? hahaha... just wait till the next time these two teams play on the ICE! it will be fun fun fun! Wow this little bit of excitement is better than when sliced bread was invented... The Oil are really pushing their luck now.. but the ball is in Buffalo's court.... will they get off their "we will not pay cash for players" attitude and keep the big "V"; gosh! I'd like to be a fly on the wall during these negotiations. My CALL let him go! take the four first round picks!

Fanpuck33 Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 I for one am happy to see people starting to make RFA offers. What's the sense of having the system in place if nobody's going to use it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMMR Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 This is crazy. Sabres have a press conference in 15 minutes they MUST MATCH THE OFFER. I for one am happy to see people starting to make RFA offers. What's the sense of having the system in place if nobody's going to use it? It's an old boys club things take time to change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saskhab Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 I for one am happy to see people starting to make RFA offers. What's the sense of having the system in place if nobody's going to use it? Exactly. And Vanek would be THE BEST free agent acquisition of the summer. Better than Briere, Drury, Gomez, Smyth, and Rafalski. Even if it cost 4 first rounders. He's a rare goal scoring talent. The only major individual award any of the above mentioned has/ever will win is the Calder. I don't think any will win a Conn Smythe, Hart, Art Ross, Norris, Richard, or even a Selke. I definitely think Vanek can win at least a Richard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain_Stealth Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 Players like Vanek don't come around very often. Chances are those 4 1st round picks won't live up or help Buffalo get another player like Vanek. It's way too risky and would hurt the organization. Buffalo NEEDS to match and keep their future star as they've already lost two this summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
