Now we all know that the Vanek offer sheet was crazy. What do you think?
We also know what the crew thinks in Buffalo. Here are some quotes from yesterday
Larry Quinn, Sabres Managing Partner: "If there's an opportunity for us to put an ofer sheet on a player; as long as we're alive, we'll be very comfortable doing it. They can expect it if it's in our best interest."
Lowe responded, "I think that was rather juvenile on their part." "It's a business. It was right for the Oilers and obviously right for the Sabres".
Interesting... looks like this could have been the first strike it what may soon rival the greatest war between the five families.
this was an actual scene from yesterday press conference.
Meanwhile, Steve Bartlett, agent to Thomas Vanek said, " It's relly a win-win situation for Thomas but Kevin and I worked diligently on this to make it a possibility."
I may be reading this wrong but is he implying that he worked with Oilers GM Kevin Lowe and this was a plan of attack they created together. If so, are there rules against this? Could this be the newest route to forcing a team into a contract favorable to your player? Are they even allowed to have contact? Someone please find an answer. Quote was in today's Montreal Gazette.
