I can explain it to you if you like....Short answer, management thought they were close.....throw money at BIG UFA´s to win the cup. UFA´s said no ie, Doan, Richards....I am guessing but then management sat down and said no superstar center wants to play in the town of Buffalo so lets try to draft one and build from there.(Of course one with the first overall pick)
Pretty simple if you ask me.
Vanek - Richards - Doan
Pominville - Roy - Stafford (coming off a 31g season)
Hecht - Goose - Ennis
Gerbe - McCormick - Kaleta
x Ellis, Mair
Could have done damage. To say nothing if they landed Suter and Parise. Basically they would be where the Wild are now. A good team looking to add not rebuild. But it didnt work out that way so we are going the other way.
