     The news front for the Buffalo Sabres has been quiet, since Nathan Paetch resigned with the Sabres.  However, there are several key Sabres with one year left on their contracts, and nothing has yet to be done with them.

     Several key Buffalo Sabres have only one year remaining on their contract.  The thing is that all the Sabres have been resigned for this upcoming season for about a month.  So, why haven’t the likes of Brain Campbell, Dimitri Kalinin, and Paul Gaustad haven’t been resigned.

     You think that the Sabres management woud have learned their lesson after the debacle that happened earlier this summer.  All in part from not negotiating during the season, and looking down the road.

     So, why haven’t the Sabres have the foresight to at least extend one of them.   Even extending PauL Gaustad, which would not cost you a lot, would be a sign of relief to Sabre fans.   Fortunately the upcoming football season, and the Ice Bowl has put that in the back of peoples minds.

    The Sabres are currently a little over four million dollars under the salary cap.  So, the Sabres would be able to extend one player with out putting the Sabres over the cap if they had a lot of call ups.

     So, who shall the Sabres extend.  Of the unrestricted free agents, who aare Jochen Hect, Campbell, and Kalinin, the obvious choice is Campbell.  Campbell by far needs to be done asap, because if he has a monster year he will command top money on the free agency market.

     The Sabres better get a hurring and extend one of them, because if they do not get one done by the beginning of the season there will be hell to pay.  That will be courtesy of the fans.
