Pointing Buffalo In The Right Direction

from Bucky Gleason of the Buffalo News,
Larry Quinn and Darcy Regier offered a few hints about their offseason plans during a news conference Thursday that was less clumsy than the charade orchestrated last summer. What they accomplish in the months ahead should reveal the direction of the organization for the next five years. Now, let’s do it right.
Doing it right means unloading Maxim Afinogenov, an enigma desperately in need of a change in scenery. Finally, Regier was prepared to shop him, and he should get a decent return while cutting costs. Dmitri Kalinin will be an unrestricted free agent. The Sabres wasted $5.75 million on them this year.
It means using the extra dough to reshape the roster with younger players who can grow together. If they’re convinced Daniel Paille and Steve Bernier are part of the equation, for example, get them signed to long-term deals with the idea they’ll be part of the future core.
