Trust me, Buffalo had the money ... they were just too dang stubborn and waited WAY too long to negotiate new deals with these guys. It got to the point where Briere and Drury said "f-u" and jumped ship.
I work with 2 hard-core Buffalo fans and they assure me that they had plenty of money to spend.
