Imagine what you would do if $5 million suddenly landed on your doorstep. Certainly a splurge would be in order. Traveling the world and telling everyone to keep the change sounds rather appealing, as does paying off the house, ignoring the 401K and hiring Miss July as a personal masseuse.

Instead, the new deal bought him and the Buffalo Sabres something far more valuable to their relationship. It bought them time.

I sure hope Briere steps up and earns that pay check, Buffalo lost a few key pieces and will need him to be the go-to guy.

I still think he kinda got overpaid but they really had to keep him.
