Mark this date in history. In a few years it will be looked at as just another move that led to a championship, or, as one of the biggest blunders in team history. I vote for the former.

After much contemplation and going back and forth on the whole issue, my end feeling is negative. I have a lot less appreciation for the Sabres management. During the regular season I was all about resigning Chris Drury. Then, after the San Jose rumors surfaced, I was all about Briere. Then, after thinking about it some more in the days leading up to free agency, I remembered why I liked Drury better. Briere is a great player and also should have been kept, but Drury is just a better leader and is more respected.

There's a summary of the article above on WGR550.com. There's a quote from there that really enrages me:...

Actually, the entire summary is enraging.

I'm hoping that I'm proven wrong and that a year or two from now, or maybe in a few days or weeks, this post is laughed at for me getting ahead of myself. Right now, I just can't help being frustrated.
