I know his contract is for 3.75 times as much, but the Sabres will get two years out of him. I don't really have a strong opinion about Montador vs. McKee, but it seems silly to compare them using math that isn't really accurate.

That would be DiPenta. In fact, I know so little about him I don’t even know how to spell his name!

He looked awfully slow and out-of-sync out there. I think lulu's right. If he's not a former Sabre, no one wants go near him. This discussion is completely wrapped up in sentiment which means it would not end well. Perhaps Jay and the Sabres both realize that.

He would not be a good signing for our future. Period. I give him 27 games next season. This discussion would not even take place if McKee wasn’t previously a Sabre.
