Im guessing it was because you were so adamant up thread about him not being a 2C, and then you said he could excel at 2C.
I have to admit that I chuckled at it a little when I read it.
(You did credibly explain downthread why you thought that, though.)
And I don’t live in Buffalo either and have no recollection of anyone thinking he was overpaid. Everyone thought it was a pretty decent deal. Not good or bad for either side.
I hate the Sabres more right now.
And in the past few years (jeebus, almost I eight years), I’ve spent the same amount of money on both teams. Zero.

Didn’t we have a “future considerations” in our back pocket left over in a trade with them a while back. I wonder if that factored into the apparent “overpayment”?
I often wonder if those ever factor in.
I bet you can go back to the archives and find post after post and even some threads every single offseason that share this same tired sentiment. 1 or 2 moves blah blah blah,... and then they trade away our good players.
You might be right about another uniform.
Briere was 24 before he showed that he was worthy of the NHL.
The Tank has completely ***** with our development expectations.
