Satan's days numbered
"I'm just trying to wait and see what happens."
Miroslav Satan almost certainly has played his last game for the Buffalo Sabres.
Speculation of the streaky sniper's departure has swirled for much of his past few seasons. Now it appears he just costs too much to keep around.
The Buffalo News has learned Satan's tenure in Buffalo - sometimes prolific, sometimes tumultuous - will end either with a discharge or a trade, maybe within a few days.
The Sabres' leading scorer in six of his seven full seasons here is a restricted free agent who would make nearly $4 million this season, about 14 percent of the team's target payroll, and become an unrestricted free agent next summer.
The Sabres will either decline to tender a qualifying offer or retain his rights for the purposes of trading them away for as little as a draft pick.

We all knew this was going to happen sooner or later BYE BYE Satan
