| Sabres sign Numminen 1 year $1.1 million contract.
He missed the first 81 games of the season recovering from heart surgery (he played 16 minutes in Buffalo’s regular-season finale against the bruins). In three seasons with Buffalo, Numminen has scored 69 points (4+65) in 155 regular season games.
the deal also dealt with teppo's grievance over the Sabres suspending him without pay in September after doctors ruled he required surgery following a routine checkup. The Fin said the Sabres owed him a portion of his $2.6 million salary once he was allowed to practice with the team on a non-contact basis in November.
