I don't expect the ask on pesce to come down too much, but there's not much to debate about the Sabres being out of the running. Seems like we're seeing adams shopping style play out like this- Sabres have a glaring need, a big name comes up, adams is linked to the big name, the asking price is thought to be too high, adams walks away, adams signs a more cost efficient player to fill the glaring need. In a cap strapped league, a team like Buffalo should be on every sellers speed dial- cap space and a boat load of high end prospects, it's hard to say the sellers are wrong to ask for the moon, but when adams signs somebody else and essentially walks away, the sellers have one less team with cap space and assets to deal with. So the top teams that could use a guy like pesce don't have the space or the high end prospects, and the bottom teams don't have use for a high priced rental, especially if they are looking at a several year rebuild.
