Yes some of those guys were available but almost all needed contracts. Take Dobson - his new deal with Montreal included 7 UFA years. Was he going to sign a deal like that in Buffalo?
The Sabres in a tough spot. They are probably the least desirable place to play, have been out of the playoffs for 14 years, royally f'd up their franchise player, and now potentially have two more that want out.
And if TT and Dahlin ask out, how do you prevent the dominoes from falling further with others also asking to get out.
It's an utter disaster.

It is definitely a potential outcome of any rebuild. Committing an organization to losing raises the distinct possibility that you perfect being a loser. It had pretty much happened in Edmonton as well until they lucked out and got McDavid.
