For those wondering why Enroth chose to stay here for less over two years than what he was offered by Minsk for one year, it was because (according to Enroth) the Sabres decided to give him the one way deal he wanted when the threat of the KHL arose. Yes, he took less money to stay in the NHL, but it was never about the money - it was about getting the one-way deal. And he got it. So he stayed.

He didn't care about financial security. His reason for demanding the one-way deal is he feels he's finally become an NHL goaltender and doesn't want to go back to the AHL. He wants the NHL playing time, even if it's only 15/20/maybe 25 games.
