Jamestown Post Journal reports: 'Players are still available for the Sabres to add, who would absolutely make their team better and Darcy Regier has shown that he has patience to wait for asking prices to come down later in the summer. Look for Buffalo to add a forward or two in the coming days, just don't expect it to be Martin Havlat or Alexei Kovalev.
