NHL Rumors: Sabres and Skinner Close On An Extension … Yzerman on free agency and Kronwall

WGR 550: Darren Dreger this morning on contract talks between the Sabres and Skinner: “It feels like it’s reaching a breaking point, which could come in the next day or two. Skinner has made it clear that he has a number in mind, which is around $9 million-plus per-year.”

WGR 550: Dreger continued: “Maybe Jason Botterill is drawing a line in the sand or calling his bluff a bit. It’s going to be interesting. I want to say it’s leaning towards Buffalo getting a deal done, but I’m not so sure.
