its impossible ...there a small market team... this will always happen ...
reports out of canada said that campbell refused a 3 yr 18 mil contract offered by the sabres . 6 mil a yr ... i guess hes not happy with the shortness of the contract
I saw similar.....3yr $17mil. I think he wants 5 years, but I'm not positive.
Small market, maybe, but the revenues have to be there. The past 2 seasons have been complete sell-outs at HSBC and their merchandise has been flying as well. Not to mention extra gate revenue from 2 consecutive years on fairly long playoff runs.

i guess just to break even / make a profit this yr they have to make the first rd of the playoffs. the biggest thing with the cap is there going to sign miller to a long term contract as well . and milsy not going to be cheap either ...
if there going to lose soupy i just hope they can get something good in return for him ... ill def miss him though is a good guy ...
yeah it looks like it ...hes really emotional about the whole thing though . He really wants to stay 1 because he close to his home town and 2 he pretty much grew up here . It will be tough for the sabs to sign him with miller waiting in the background to get signed . the cap thing is killin the sabres
Soupy's gone, but i think you guys won the trade, im sure Bernier still has upside.
i think so to . hopefully his size helps out are team. we have no grit on are team with talent . i just hope are D doesnt fall by the wayside. many players Kalinin have got pick up the slack....

Sabres got much more than I was expecting for a rental player! Nice trade. Like BUFFALO said, hopefully Bernier's talent pans out. The Sabres need his grit and toughness. 25 goals wouldn't hurt either!
Campbell wasn't the greatest defensive defensemen, so I'm not overly concerned in that aspect. But the offense and power play sure took a hit.

bernier ...what an impact 2 goals ...i couldnt ask for a better start... an to boot the sabres lookd like they had some added grityness to them. hopefully that stays put. i no kaletta mair and peters were flying around hittin anyone but ...i need to see grityness from the other players... connonly going after tutu was just amassing ...connonly ...
Well we are trying to catch Buffalo, so a win by u guys could help us Leafs out.
Two points can help us right now in the standings, cause we won't be getting it tomorrow.
Sens and Pens tomorrow too so even if we get 2 points tonight to pass the Sens and tie the Pens, one of 'em will be back ahead of us.
I might just hope they end up in 9th place. I'm not up for them showing up periodically in the playoffs, and then getting bounced. It's not worth the tease.

its ok ... this only helps build the sabres character and hunger to be the best .... like i said before ,this season is going to be up and down for them...
the habs could be the best team in the east right now.. the sens are just on a downward spiral ....hahahahahahahhaha no probs here
HOW FUCKING DISAPOINTING OF A GAME THIS IS . YOU let a 3-1 lead slip in the 3rd. miller letting some weak goals in... wtf ...playoffs ...playoffs ... playoffs............................
well the season is OVER>>> maybe its a good thing for this young team to have lost. idk maybe it will build some character or some hunger for the playoffs in the years to follow. all in all with all the losses from briere ,drury, campbelll,tempo numminen, connolly (hurt) and a rookie defence , i think they fard pretty good.
.i cant wait till next year to see how the team has grown. i love skera ,i wish this kid was playin with the sabres the whole year. ....

LOL!
In all seriousness, I do hope they make the playoffs. There's nothing better than watching your team in palyoff hockey.
They've just been soooooooo frustrating this season. One game they look great, and the next, they completely fall apart.
