‘It worked out really well for all involved as Hannan spent parts of five seasons with the Sabres as a key defensive forward and sound penalty killer. He only played one full season while with the Sabres, as injuries and coach’s decisions limited his playing time at times, but he was a nice contributor in a very quiet and unheralded way.’

‘Where he will be doing it next year, of course, is an arresting question. Biron didn’t play this year and his contract is up. Noronen played well back home in Finland. Miller not only delivered his best season in the best hockey league going, he got a year of new rules — including fat blue lines and puckhandling restrictions –under his belt. “Ryan has evolved,” Cunneyworth said, “and I don’t see him backsliding.”‘

'In a year's time, assuming the NHL lockout ends, Buffalo Sabres fans will know all about Gaustad (GOSS-stad). The 23-year-old former Winter Hawk has developed into one of the most feared forwards in the American Hockey League.'

Ted Nolan is finally stepping out of the shadows and into the spotlight.’

'"Ted Nolan is here today because I want to bring a winner to Moncton and Ted Nolan is a winner."'

‘”You learn from the past and the only thing I have to say now is I’m back,” Nolan said. “I’m excited, probably more excited than I was when I first started coaching.”‘
