I wouldn't be surprised at all of the Sabres sign Callahan. Now they have a solid top-six veteran forward and heart and soul captain to set the tone for the rebuild. I don't think they'd sign more than one 5 year contract though. More overpaying middling veterans on 2-3 year deals to round out the roster.
