It's not a terrible offer out of context, but this doesn't suit the Blues' needs.

Poor teams shouldn't be at cap....and with Henrique the Sabres would be over it with bonuses and LTIR. A lot better ways to spend 5.875m for 3.5m
Soft team you say. That's what seasons of non contending will do to a team.

As a long suffering Leaf fan, I feel sorry for Sabres fans. The owners put in the money, but have hired the wrong people to run the team.
