Michael Pachla: The Sabres don't need a savior, but they'll take a generational talent

FRIST!


Lest we forget TO's key to the city. Franking embarrassing.

Great blog Michael but I disagree, anything less then the 2nd pick will be an Epic
Failure.

EPIC

Good not just me, anything less than pick 2 in this draft is a FAILURE of epic proportions and Buffalo would probably get savaged in the media for NOT even being able to finish dead last to guarantee pick 2.

I do agree with the saviour comment though, no such thing, takes a lot of pieces, also a VERY good coach.

I figured there would be a deal already for Clay ?

Getting a little annoyed waiting for news on that front. It's possible Clay is mulling options over before Bills throw fat stacks at him.

Where did the 7 mill price tag come from.?

Indeed.

FOX Sports' Alex Marvez reports the Bills are "working toward" a deal with free agent Percy Harvin.

Profootballtalk reported earlier Friday that Harvin was mulling whether or not he should take more visits. It appears he's settled on "no." Although the money will surely be to Harvin's liking, it's an unideal landing spot from a football perspective. The Bills remain a disaster at quarterback, and have many mouths to feed on offense. It would be hard to trust Harvin as a WR3 in Buffalo.

It's the baseline of his transition tag. That's simply his current cap number for the Dolphins. He's basically an RFA right now, except we can yank him out of Miami without the use of draft picks.

Ok thanks, still wondering why there is no offer if they really want him.

Not Buffalo related, but did anyone see this?

That's the Sharks answer to fixing there problems, moving the C and A off players.

Oh boy: Bills reached agreement on 1-year deal with WR Percy Harvin, per source. Buffalo spending bills; add Harvin, McCoy, Incognito.

Sorry he's going to Arizona guys.. It's the Bettman way

I saw Matt Ellis today........

What a dumb tweet by Carucci. I cannot stand the media with this mcdavid stuff. Acting as if we already have him. What an embarrassment


I also want to punch whoever got a sabres mcdavid jersey made directly in the throat. I cant wait until all the articles come out talking about how the sabres blew it and did'nt draft mcdavid. There is going to be a picture of one of those a$$hats as the cover photo

Bills agreed to terms with WR Percy Harvin, formerly of the Jets, on a one-year contract.

Harvin is headed to his fourth club in as many seasons. For Harvin, going to a team quarterbacked by Matt Cassel and E.J. Manuel is a risky way to rehab his value on a one-year deal, but it's a shrewd signing for the Bills. Despite his recent injury woes, Harvin remains a moveable chess piece, one who's especially explosive over the middle of the field and after the catch. He'll make for a game-breaking tandem with Sammy Watkins. Harvin has been in the league since 2009, but still doesn't turn 27 until May
