I defer to you on all things Sabres.
But wasn't he handcuffed by ownership and not able to spend money on upcoming free agents, and having to rely on promotion from within the ranks?
From 06-08 they didn't re-sign JP Dumont, Mike Grier, Danny Briere, Chris Drury, and Danius Zubrus. They traded away Brian Campbell and Biron.
And then the only free agents they basically signed were Spacek and Thibault.
