'Paille said he was unaware that the Buffalo brass — including Director of Player Personnel Don Luce — were in the stands. The Welland native was a first-round pick of the Sabres in the 2002 NHL entry draft but remains unsigned…Paille had hoped to have signed an NHL contract before the OHL playoffs started. The Sabres and his agent have had some discussions, but nothing is imminent. If he is not signed prior to June's 2004 NHL draft, Paille would go back into the pool of available players.'
