Multi-year deal is all I see so far.

BUFFALO, N.Y. (Sept. 29, 2003) -- Buffalo Sabres General Manager Darcy Regier announced today that winger Miroslav Satan has signed a two-year contract. As is club policy, terms of the contract were not disclosed.

"We are very pleased to have Miro signed for the next two years," said Regier. "He has been an integral part of the organization for the past six seasons both on and off of the ice."

Acquired from Edmonton on March 18, 1997, the 28-year old Satan has led the Sabres in goal scoring the last three seasons and has been the teams' top overall point producer the last four years. Satan led Buffalo in goals (26), assists (49) and total points (75) last season and his 75 points set a career high. Since the 1998-99 season, Satan has scored 165 goals to rank 13th in the NHL in that timeframe.

A two-time NHL All-Star (2000, 2002), Satan was also a member of the 1998 and 2002 Slovakian Olympic Hockey Teams.

At last I can let go of my anxiety over this. While I haven't been truly worried a deal wouldn't get done, there is always that nagging feeling of doubt until it is finished.

*Big Sigh*

Let's win some hockey games!

Ta,

If Biron plays to his full capacity all year we may be all right. Mika wasn't sharp last night and I might possibly see Rochester in his near future.

Ta,

I can relate. I didn't think they wouldn't get a deal done but until it was complete, it nagged away in the back of my mind. A small doubt, now laid to rest.

I can't wait to see what sort of powerplay unit they can put together with Miro back...

i am pretty sure noronen would have to clear waivers to be sent down to rochester
so i don't think rochester is in noronen's future

That's correct. Same with Biron.

That's correct, he would. Well Noronen will be sent somewhere before the end of the season IMO. I forgot that aspect, thanks bas for that correction.

Anybody else notice that they just added Satan's name to the poll on the sabres.com website about who will be the captain?

Y'know, I just thought of something ...
So, Buffalo comes to an agreement with Satan ... is that what they mean when they say "a deal with the Devil"?!? ;)

That's awesome to have Miro back in the fold.

Can anyone else confirm the terms of the deal? I think Bob MacKenzie from TSN stated it was a 2 year - $10 M deal. 4.5 in year one and 5.5 in year two?
