It depends whether or not they can resign him. Pittsburgh's window is not going to be very long with their current squad because of the cap. Between Malkn, Crosby, Whitney, and Fluery, their cap space will not be very high (unless they increase the cap).I loved Armstrong and Christiansen -- I don't know how I feel about that trade for Hossa yet..
I know, that would terrible if they traded all those assets just to have him leave after a year.It depends whether or not they can resign him.

He was gone come July 1st anways. The Sabres simply couldn't afford to sink that kind of money into Campbell...especially seeing as they're going to have to pay Miller some big money come this offseason.I am so mad buffalo lost campbell. we had such a good team and we've traded away our core. Very disappointed but at least we traded to a west coast team.
I don't like this trade one bit from a Pittsburgh point of view. Hossa is a very good player, but there's no way Pittsburgh is going to be able to keep him after the season. Also, he tends to disappear in the playoffs. Just ask Ottawa.I loved Armstrong and Christiansen -- I don't know how I feel about that trade for Hossa yet..
How about Huet for a 2nd rounder? Canadians putting all that pressure on the 20 yr old net minder, Price.Anyone listen

Unfortunately the Vanek deal really handcuffed the Sabres front office, and will cause issues with future signings. Edmonton really screwed them there. Honestly, I think if they were able to sign vanek for a reasonable deal then Campbell would still be here.
On the bright side, they picked up Bernier who's a hell of a player. He's a big banging power forward who can score. The sabres have been looking for a player like him for years and they've finally got one. He'll thrive under Lindy Ruff. In addition, they picked up another 1st round pick from San Jose in this years draft which figures to be an extremely deep draft.
In the long run, I think that this deal will really work out in the sabres favor. The Sharks really gave up too much for a rental player IMO as I don't see campbell resigning with them this offseason. Sharks fans had better hope that they win the cup this year.
