from Pierre LeBrun of ESPN,
We can’t help but harp back to the Edmonton angle. Not only would the Oilers not have Penner on their hands right now if the Sabres had not matched, but they would have an elite forward to play with star winger Ales Hemsky, something the local Edmonton media has pointed out as a major issue with right now.
For as much heat as former Oilers GM/now team president Kevin Lowe got around the league in the summer of 2007, give him credit on this point—he was right about Vanek being worth the money.
more and some Pogge talk too…

However - what if Buffalo hadn’t matched and Vanek got off to a slow start in Edmonton? Maybe he would have been ripped to shreds before he got a chance to show he was worth the money. Some fans are relentless in ragging on a player for any shortcoming, actual or perceived.
