Pominville and Sabres Agree to Five-Year Extension
GM Darcy Regier announced the Sabres have agreed to keep Jason Pominville in Buffalo through the 2013-14 season. Pominville finished second on the team in scoring and posted career-highs in points and assists during the 2007-08 season.
“Not only did we draft him, but he is someone that has grown up in this organization… and continues to get better and better,” Regier said. “We look forward to a continued relationship and development of a very good hockey player at this time in the NHL.”
The Buffalo Sabres owner Tom Golisano announced the Sabres extended the contract of GM Darcy Regier until the 2010-11 season.
“I’m obviously thrilled to stay here,” Regier said. “I think back to when I was first hired… with all the turmoil back then, Lindy [Ruff] was hired shortly after, I didn’t know we would last one year let alone how many years this currently is. You move along not taking anything for granted.”
Regier and Ruff have become the longest-tenured GM/Head Coach tandem in the four major sports. This season is the 12th season that Regier has been the GM for the Sabres.
