Fly, Mair will be gone no matter what. I've always liked him, but both Ellis and McCormick are younger and cheaper replacements. All three are pending UFAs, but I suspect Ellis and McCormick will both stay.

Don`t sign him for two years, sign him long term more like 10 years

I'd rather have Mair over Ellis. I used to see what Ellis brought to this team, but this year I never heard a thing about his high motor or his effort. There was never a play I saw where I was thinking "Wow! He's outworking everyone right now!" He was refreshing a year ago, but now it's old. McCormick has plenty of experience in the NHL, and he's cheaper.

If we could sign Mair to a vet minimum, I'd be all for him coming back.

I'd start at 1.75; we'd all be liars if we didn't think the Sabres need to save money where they can so we can afford to ship dead weight.

Wow..you and I saw completely different games this year apparently. Dude hustled every damned second he was on the ice, very often making me think "Wow, he's outworking everyone!" I agree he isnt the MOST skilled guy ever, but he works hard ALWAYS, has good puck control, can keep the puck on his stick while pressured, is good on the boards, slings the puck at the net well (and it popped in more often than i'd have expected) and is not a defensive liability. I'd keep him over: Stafford, Mair, ....and I guess thats it. So i'd send him packing third, not first.

From Twitter:

Mike Grier's agent Jay Fee tells the Associated Press that his client has expressed an interest to re-sign with the #Sabres. No talks yet.

There better be some mother-EFFking talks, that guy deserves a new deal. With the money we save by tossing Stafford on some team.

I would take Ellis and Mair over Stafford.

"Grier coming in over the line. He leaves it to Gaustad. The shot. THEY SCOOOREE!! RING UP ANOTHER ONE FOR THE GOOSE!!! HONK IF YA HEAR THE GOOSE!! 3-0 BUFFALO!"

I hope we resign him, he was a huge veteran presence to this team.

I love Grier and am so glad we got him back this past year...so I sincerely hope we are able to resign him.

I'm also ecstatic that Montador will be here for at least another year...he was an absolute BEAST in the series against Boston...hands-down our best defenseman in the playoffs. He played with the tenacity and heart rarely seen in any of our other players.

I thought he only signed a one-year deal?

Yes!! 2 years is perfect, if he's still got some left in the tank after that sign him to whatever works and he can retire a sabre

Monty is here for one more year, he signed a 2 year deal, Grier only signed a one year deal.
