The Buffalo Sabres could be one team that surprises at Monday’s NHL trade deadline.

New owner Terry Pegula, who wanted to win before he took over the franchise, has given GM Darcy Regier the green light to spend to the salary cap to win a Stanley Cup.

That’s not something the Sabres have always shown a willingness to do, so don’t be surprised if they are a player on either Dallas centre Brad Richards on Colorado’s Paul Stastny.

While the denials might be coming fast and furious out of the Rocky Mountains about Stastny’s future with the Avs, don’t believe them for a second. Pretty much every player on that roster is available.

The Sabres have the cap space to make a big move. They haven’t been the same since they lost Derek Roy to a quad injury earlier this season and need skill up front.

“If we’re going to do anything, it will be on the buy side,” Regier told Buffalo reporters Saturday.

Regier will have competition. Maple Leafs GM Brian Burke isn’t going to pass up the chance to get a good centre. Neither is Los Angeles counterpart Dean Lombardi. Both have the available cap space.

Regier has never been a big dealer. Stastny would require at least two young prospects and a top pick. But Pegula wants to shake the Sabres’ foundation. A major move would send a message.


Holy Jesus Christ andiajiiweraiujifasdijf.

Does anyone think this is legit? This isn't Eklund or anything.

Ottawa Sun is notorious for bullhonkey. If any center shows up in Buffalo, it won't be Richards or Stastny. That being said, I'd die if Stastny showed up here. Perfect center for Vanek.

I'm still waiting for anybody to give me a smart reason for trading Stastny. OMGZ his dad is upset let's get our volva lips all a quiver. He's 25, there's no logical reason to trade him.

Richards, if the Stars could be trading him, that would be interesting to see.

Sabres pretty much have to do something exciting after Darcy Regier made his transparent comments today about being buyers.

The mere fact that the title says that we're in on Stastny and Richards, and the article says "don't be surprised if" makes this bush league.

None of these moves happen unless there is an extension involved.

They're not going to chase rentals.

Note: IF - BIG IF - Stastny did happen, he's signed for three more years.

Stastny is already under contract with a 6.6 mil annual cap hit until the summer of 2014. There's nothing to conclude about it. Only Richards would be a rental as a pending UFA on June 1st.

They've been winning without him.

New guy to the Sabres blogosphere Scott Michalak has a pretty good take on this article by Garrioch

Stastny is the guy I'd prefer... simply because Richards is playing the concussion game currently, Ive seen enough of that with Timmy... AND Richards will want a BIG FAT new contract...

Stastny will be under contract for a bit longer and isn't he a bit younger...

Now... what do the Aves need... D men?... rental C?

"Two young prospects and a pick" - Im not going to speculate, but I will say NO to...

NO Giving UP - Ennis, Weber, Myers, Miller, ZAK, Foligno (sp), TV...

Stastny is not on the block. Period. If he moves, it's because COL gets a retarded overpayment for him.

great summary... I still kind of like the rampant speculation... its fun, kind of like picking out toys from the sears catalog... yes i grew up with no internet... or looking at a list of cars you can never afford and just wondering what you would do with a twin turbo Supra...

Quote of the article...
"I think it’s safe to say that Garrioch has a hedgehog in his gas tank."
