Thomas Vanek was an Oiler today. Then the Sabres kept their promise for once and matched the offer of a 7 year, $50 million dollar contract. The Oilers were just probably trying to make a point, not so much that they were interested in signing Vanek. The Sabres were not giving Vanek a decent offer and now he is signed for an average of over $5mil a year. Yes Lowe is evil for doing that to the Sabres but if the Sabres didn't want to be put in the situation to do that, they should have given Vanek a decent offer.
Of course this has caused many teams to decide to send the players they are negotiating with to arbitration, so other teams can't send offers until arbitration is done.
Too bad so sad. My dream almost came true.
