The NHL announced today that the 2007-08 salary cap will have a roof of $50.3 million and a floor of $34.3 million.

How interesting is it that the Buffalo Sabres are now the most important team in free agency. It’s hard to imagine they will lose both Briere and Drury. Briere is in Los Angeles because his agent, Pat Brisson, is based here. Drury also is supposed to spend the weekend in California, so…speculate away!
