No I'm saying there was no one else but Connolly to fill that position. Also never said that Golisano was cheap but there was no way in hell the team was dumping bargain contracts (at the time) just to shake up a core that didn't need shaking up yet.Are you trying to tell me Regier didnt have control over who was on his roster? To say Golisano and QUinn forced Regier to spend $4.5 million on Connolly so the Sabres would make him playoff revenue makes very little sense to me.
