     The Buffalo Sabrs revelaed a couple days ago that is will not go up to the NHL salary cap.  The fact is that they should not, because of the fact that it will get them into financial trouble again. 

     The fact is that the Buffalo Sabres cannot afford to go up to the salary cap.  Why, is due to the fact that their ticket price si one of the lowsest in the leagues.  Teams like Toronto according to the Buffalo News make 2.5 times what the Sabres charge for tickets.

      That is the ultimate key fr the Sabres spending.  If the Sabrs keep winning then Sabre management will be able to raise ticket prices, and then will draw more money.

     What does this mean to the players.  Their salary cap figure right now is 28.4 million dollars.  They can probably spend about fourteen miillion dollars additional. 

    They have to keep Thomas Vanek thier leading goal scorere.  He is too valuable to lose to another team, along with chris Drury.  Daniel Briere on the other hand is expendable, due to the fact that he is not big enough fr cup hockey.

    Whatever may happen from now to October will have a huge impact on the Sabres futre.   Only time will tell.
