‘While in Buffalo, Vanek wanted to hear exactly what Darcy Regier’s plan was for the Sabres and he really heard nothing so that’s why he didn’t re-sign. Vanek said, “Buffalo is awesome, I always say to other people, like before Kyle signed here I talked to him and said, ‘you’re going to love it, it’s a great place’, you know did I want to leave? No, but at the time, I didn’t know which direction this franchise was going, I had a few questions and none of them got answered, so I guess I was a little selfish and wanted to move on.”’
