Pominville, a well kept secrecy of the LNH
La Presse reports: [Rough English translation from French language newspaper]
'“I do not know yet how much years exactly but in our discussions, it forever be one duration question of less than five years. It is sure that the fact that Ryan Miller signed a five year old contract encourages me to remain. Ryan, it is our best player and a team, that starts in front of the net. They put under contract Ryan, Vanek, Derek Roy, Gaustad. If they make me sign a contract, the core of guy which were in Rochester, which grew together, we all will be there. That could convince some of others to come in Buffalo.” (Submitted by: Spun)

Sabres hope to build off strong finish
Sabres.com reports: 'Vanek is far and away the Sabres' most expensive player after Buffalo was forced last year to match an offer from Edmonton. Vanek was the Sabres' third-leading scorer with a team-high 36 goals and 64 points. That was a seven-goal, 20-point decline from the previous year. He also dropped from a league-leading plus-47 to minus-5. Getting Vanek back on track will be one of the Sabres' top priorities.'
