The Sabres have extended qualifying offers to five restricted free agents: Drew Stafford, Clarke MacArthur, Pat Kaleta, Mark Mancari and Andrej Sekera. The deadline to make the offers and retain the rights to restricted free agents was 5 p.m. Monday.
MacArthur is scheduled to have a salary arbitration hearing.
As of Monday afternoon, General Manager Darcy Regier would not comment on the players they chose not to extend qualifying offers to because the players had not yet been notified of their status.
With the qualifying offers in place, the Sabres have the right to match any contract offers made to these players when Free Agency begins on Wednesday. The Sabres would also be compensated in the event that they lost Stafford, MacArthur, Mancari, Kaleta or Sekera to free agency.
i think he can play either.I believe he's listed as right wing though

?
Why does it say "three qualifying offers" but they mention five names?
06/29/2009 5:39PM

Because it was a rushed article written in sloppy fashion.

I'm gonna break you!
Greg there killing you here.. Defense, Defense, Defense! OK, on to my point. As soon as it is realistic to have Kassian play in the NHL he should center a "Break your Face" line on this team. Kassian, Kaleta, (Free agent?).

Trash
I'm not really sure who writes this crap but i'm surprised that WGR posts it,i mean i understand that we're clammering for a winning team here however talent like like Spacek should not be compared to a slow skater like Kaleta.No ofence to him because i like him,he is an assetto our team no question about it but business is business.The big guys coming up from this draft-and future ones will take over the duties that guys like Kalettaperform but guys with excperience like Spacek do'nt grow on trees and they're not cheap,so who ya gonna go with? So yeah yer right pretty sloppy article and poor journalism. maybe you should learn something about hockey before atemting to comment about it!

"Trash" response
Hmmm perhaps you should proof your own comment that happens to be ridden with errors before chastising the integrity and professionalism of WGR. I mean its pretty much the epitome of hypocrisy. Quite laughable.

McKee was placed on waivers. Come back to Buffalo!! And for a good price

Bandwagon HaterThere
Their is a reason McKee was bought out. Unless that price was around $1 Mill a yr its not worth it there are much better defensemen out there we could go after.
