BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Under-performing Sabres forward Ville Leino is on his way out in Buffalo. Two people familiar with the Sabres decision told The Associated Press on Tuesday that the team has placed Leino on waivers for the purpose of buying out the remaining three years of his contract. The people spoke on the condition of anonymity because the Sabres didnt announce the move, which was made a day after the NHLs buyout period began. Leino was set to make $11 million over the final three years of a six-year, $27 million contract. Should he go unclaimed on 24-hour waivers, the Sabres would buy out Leinos contract by paying him two-thirds of what hes owed. One of the people also told the AP that the Vancouver Canucks placed forward David Booth on waivers for the purpose of buying out the remaining two years on his contract. The Sabres decision on Leino did not come as a surprise. In April, general manager Tim Murray called buying out Leino as "a very good possibility." Leino was bracing for the possibility of being a buyout candidate after the season ended. Inconsistent play and a series of injuries contributed to Leino being a huge disappointment in Buffalo. The seventh-year player managed no goals and 15 assists in 58 games last season. And he finished with just 10 goals and 46 points in 137 games with the Sabres. That was a considerable drop-off from Leinos previous four seasons, in which he combined for 30 goals and 73 points in 149 games split between Detroit and Philadelphia. The Sabres had high hopes for Leino to be a fixture on one of their top two lines. They signed him as part of a series of big splashes in the summer of 2011 in owner Terry Pegulas bid to build an immediate contender. The Sabres also acquired defenceman Robyn Regehr in a trade with Calgary, and acquired the rights to defenceman Christian Ehrhoff, and signed him to a 10-year, $40 million contract before the start of free agency. The moves ultimately backfired. The Sabres have missed the playoffs in each of the past three seasons, and are coming off one of their franchises worst finishes. In placing last in the overall standings, Buffalo (21-51-10) set a post-NHL-expansion-era low by scoring 150 goals and a franchise record for losses. Mike Bossy Jersey .

Indeed, must be among the greatest challenges in all of sports. The pressure he applies, from set to set, game to game, point to point, shot to shot.CONCORD, N.C. - Hendrick Motorsports announced a three-year contract extension Thursday that keeps Kasey Kahne in the No. 5 Chevrolet through the 2018 Sprint Cup season.The deal removes Kahne from the free-agent market and raises questions about where Rick Hendrick plans to put Nationwide Series champion Chase Elliott in his stacked lineup. Kahnes current contract expired after next season, and many believed hed have to improve his results to remain with the organization.Hendrick is making changes to help Kahne, who needed a late win at Atlanta in August to make the 16-driver Chase for the Sprint Cup championship. He was eliminated from the Chase after the second round and finished 15th in the final standings.HMS this week said Keith Rodden, a longtime engineer on Kahnes team, was returning to the organization as crew chief of the No. 5 car. Kenny Francis, who had been crew chief for Kahne since the final race of the 2005 season — the second-longest active driver/crew chief pairing in the Cup Series — was moved into a design and development role for the entire organization.Ive found a home at Hendrick Motorsports, said Kahne, who signed with HMS in 2010 for a deal that began with the 2012 season. Its the right place for me, and Im looking forward to being here for a long time.But it puts Hendrick in a bind with Elliott, the 18-year-old phenom who won NASCARs second-tier series championship in his first season competing at the national level. Elliott won the title driving for JR Motorsports, which is co-owned by Hendrick driver Dale Earnhardt Jr., his sister, Kelley, and Rick Hendrick.Earnhardt has said the team has no plans to move up to the Sprint Cup Seeries, and Hendrick has only said the immediate future for Elliott is a second season with JRM.ddddddddddddHendrick fields the NASCAR-maximum four cars in Cup for Earnhardt, Kahne, six-time champion Jimmie Johnson and four-time champion Jeff Gordon. Although Gordon has hinted that retirement is coming, he said in a Twitter chat Wednesday its currently not on my radar.Johnson, at a Thursday event for the Jimmie Johnson Foundation, said hes working on an extension for his contract, which expires in 2015 and that Elliott was not a candidate for his No. 48 seat.I think someone else is in line for retirement before me, he joked of Gordon.Hendrick Motorsports general manager Doug Duchardt said Thursday on Sirius XM that Elliott will run a handful of Cup races next season — thats allowed under NASCAR rules — but ducked a question on where hell eventually land. He likened Elliott to a Triple A prospect in baseball and the pressure to bring him up to the big leagues.I understand its part of the fun and speculation of what could or should be done. I completely understand it, Duchardt said. Were going to try to make sure we put him in the best position to be successful when he does come here full-time.Kahne, meanwhile, has ranked among the top 10 drivers the last three seasons in Sprint Cup wins (five), pole positions (four), top-five finishes (26) and laps led (1,177). He has 17 career Cup wins and has three consecutive berths in the Chase.I think the world of him both as a driver with championship-level talent and an overall terrific young man, Hendrick said. Were committed to winning races and competing for titles with him for many years to come.
