The Sabres' situation

I was just discussing with a friend the situation the Sabres have put themselves into. They don't seem to be rushing at the cluster they are in and it is highly amusing to me. Let's just look at some facts that I have organized into some bullet point fun times:

• They lost not one, but TWO Captains when Briere and Drury moved on to better things.
• They try to make themselves look better when they said that while they were willing to match any offer Drury got, Drury never gave them a chance. Now it looks like Drury wanted to leave at all costs.
• They have lost at least one other player who was a UFA and apparently wasn't important enough to sign.
• They decide that signing Teppo Numminen, who is 38, is an important thing to do.
• They have RFAs going to arbitration.
• Thomas Vanek is reportedly been given offer sheets from other teams.
• They have no left-wingers signed.
• Out of the 15 who ARE signed 4 are centres, 4 are right-wings, 6 are defensemen.
• That leaves one goalie...with no backup.

Most of the big names have been signed now, so they are out of the question for Buffalo. My question is, what are they going to do? What will happen if they lose Roy, Vanek, Paille or Peters?
Perhaps they have confidence in their AHLers enough to replace all of their stars.
