Well, I almost had to know it, but the Buffalo Sabers, after having the best record in the NHL this past season and making it to the Eastern Conference finals, have suffered two sever blows to their team.
As this article points out, co-captains Chris Drury and Daniel Briere left Buffalo on the first day of free agencies for the NY Rangers and Philadelphia Flyers respectively.
Now anyone who follows sports knows that Buffalo is by no means a large market city, thus they do not have the money that the team from Philadelphia and New York have to spend on players.
Buffalo has always built a great farm system and developed players to play with a team mentality. Which by the way hockey is, a team sport.
I hope that the Sabers management have a way of trying to make up for these losses, if not I don't see the Sabers back in the playoff contending for the Eastern Conference Crown.
