The reason Buffalo has trouble attracting free agents in my opinion are due to a few things.
- The market (Buffalo isn't a horrible city, but more people would rather not live there than would.)
- The revolving door that is the Sabres prospect situation. Other than Miller, the Sabres have this horrible habit of developing these really good young guys only to ship them out and have them playing their prime years with another team.
- Security. The Sabres start a rebuild every 2 years it seems. Besides the money factor, free agents tend to want to go were there is a shot to win. I'm not saying that the Sabres don't want to win, but some of the moves management seems to always make say otherwise. Players take this kind of thing into consideration. I know, because when we where awful we couldn't get free agents either.
I'm wondering if making the playoffs will save Lindy's job. One of the best coaches in the NHL for sure, but the Sabres need a new outlook i think. |
I agree with most of that. Gerbe does have potential (despite being a midget). It seems like this has been the trend of the Sabres for awhile now, and I'm surprised they still have Vanek. It's pretty sad when the biggest free-agent we've gotten in the past couple years is Craig Rivet
