Sabres make offers to four RFAs: The Buffalo Sabres retained the rights to three key restricted free agents by extending qualifying offers to forwards Drew Stafford and Clarke MacArthur and defenseman Andrej Sekera. General manager Darcy Regier made the announcement on Monday, hours before a 5 p.m. deadline for teams to make offers to their restricted free agents. The Sabres will now be able to match any potential offer made to these players by another team when the NHL free agency period begins on Wednesday. Regier seemed confident that he would be able to sign all three to long-term deals this summer, but wasn't optimistic that it would get done before Wednesday. "We've had some conversations, but I think in most cases these players want to get into the restricted period and see what might be out there," he said. The Sabres also retained the rights to rugged second-year forward Patrick Kaleta, who had four goals and five assists in 51 games last season.

Fantasy Analysis

Of the three, Stafford could be a target for an outside offer. The 23-year-old 2004 first-round pick blossomed into an offensive threat this past season by scoring 20 goals, the third-most on the team. MacArthur, meanwhile, is arbitration eligible after posting 31 points in 71 games, while Sekera, 23, played in 69 games in his first full season with the Sabres. Stafford is probably the only player of the four that will be drafted in a decent amount of Fantasy leagues in 2009-10 as a low-end option. Sekera, MacArthur and Kaleta will have little to no Fantasy appeal.
