We are fast approaching July 1st, and there's no news from Buffalo's management about the fates of unrestricted free agents, and co-captains, Chris Drury and Danny Briere. The Hockey News is reporting that "most people in and around hockey" think that one of them will be walking. And season ticket holders are commenting in the Buffalo News' Sabres Edge that they are disappointed at having these contracts still up in the air less than a week from one or both of the Sabres' captains heading to another club. Drury and Briere both expressed a lot of interest in staying in Buffalo, as they have made homes there and love the city. What is the holdup? Offer these guys something reasonable for all the hard work they did at getting Buffalo to the Eastern Conference Final. No, we didn't win the Cup this year; but we got close. Some will say that close only counts with the proverbial horseshoes and hand grenades, but I say keep the team together. These guys are, still, scary good.
