Casey D Posted July 5, 2006 Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 Do you figure Regier offerred McKee something like the 3 years $10 million that Spacek signed for? Would you rather have McKee for 4 years at $16M or Spacek with his deal? As much as I like McKee, this deal makes a lot more sense to me, especially with all the arbitration eligible guys that need to be paid, and hopefully some of them, e.g. Briere, locked up with longer term deals.

I think that St. Louis overpaid. Actually, I think Spacek fits Buffalo's system better than McKee. McKee never got the hang of the transition offense. At the same time McKee gave the Sabres an additional dimension - but I don't think he really had the legs to skate 25 minutes a night like Spacek can.

puma2577 Posted July 5, 2006 Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 i heard that mckee's offer was 3yr/$2.8M, so we paid a little more for spacek, but he may also add more as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apuszczalowski Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 I thought his agent said it was around the 2 million mark (a little bit more the 2 million, 2.8-3 seems a bit high Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fronz1103 Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 The contrat numbers are not the one's that matter folks. Well in the off-season, perhaps. So I'm not complaining that everyone is askin bout that, caz honestly, I'm curious too. But come the season its about stats..... Spacek's best number that I am most pleased with is his +/- of +11. He helps more than he hurts his club. This guy will be a pleasure to call a sabre if all goes right. Go Sabres! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DR HOLLIDAY Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 Spacek trumps McKee In many aspects, but our Defencemen are now lacking a tough hitting do anything to block a shot defencemen........A lot of the things that McKee does do not show up on the stats page, but big hits and shot blocking pump up team mates.........And it seems to me we are now lacking someone like that.............Don't get me wrong I like Spacek, but I can see this being a problem for the Sabres.

BetweenThePipes00 Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 Spacek was 10th in the league in blocked shots last season .... certainly not claiming he is as physical as McKee, but he's not Phyllis Housley either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need to take shots at Housley, IMHO. Housley wasn't a hitter, but he was an amazing player. If he were young again I'd take him on our team in a heartbeat.

BetweenThePipes00 Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 He made Campbell look like Denis Potvin in his own end. They should have moved him to forward like Bowman tinkered with and used him at the point on the PP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
