Wow...Buffalo had some pretty threatening and some not so nice words for Lowe & the Oilers.
It's a business...it's not like they have to sleep with Lowe's wife to get back at him. Just get over it; he was trying to make his hokcey club better.

Though, Buffalo must be feeling pretty bitter after loosing the core of their team.

Yeah, but it was a bush-league move by Lowe. After losing their top two players, Buffalo had no choice but to match, and Lowe knew they had no choice but to match, but he did it anyway, knowing that they were going to match.

To me it was nothing more than a PR move by Lowe, trying to show the Oil fans that he's trying to do something, even though there is no way in hell that the "something" was going to happen.

If you are serious about getting a restricted free agent, you do it to a team that is already bumping up against the cap and therefore, can't match.
