Peca: I Would Love To Be A Sabre Again
21st July, 2007 - 12:36 pm
Buffalo News - Michael Peca can?t make the Buffalo Sabres want him.

Still, the popular former captain longs to return.

?I want it to happen,? Peca said Thursday from his East Amherst home. ?I do have a couple of options right now that are pretty exciting, but Buffalo has always been at the top of my list.?

Peca earned the nickname Captain Crunch for the fearlessly physical style he displayed during his five seasons in Buffalo, a tenure that ended with a wicked contract dispute.

Now he?s a 33-year-old unrestricted free agent coming back from a serious leg injury that limited him to 35 games last season for the Toronto Maple Leafs.

The two-time Selke Trophy winner insisted his injury has fully healed, the animosity between him and the Sabres front office evaporated once the Rigas family lost control of the team and his presence could help the Sabres fill the void left by co-captains Daniel Briere and Chris Drury. [READ]
