		John Muckler might indeed be around Buffalo a while longer, as promised, but it wouldn't be as coach.
		Buffalo opted not to sign either player, partly because Muckler was under orders to cut payroll and partly because it didn't think Hawerchuk and Presley were worth their new salaries ($2.5 million and $850,000 per year respectively).
		Muckler did listen to Nolan's advice on Feb. 1 and gave up a low draft choice for Bob Boughner, a rugged defenseman who had spent most of his career in the minors.

		Muckler conceded he would not be able to sign talented but injury-prone right wing Martin Havlat to a long-term contract, and instead shipped him to Chicago as part of a three-way deal that brought back defenseman Tom Priessing from San Jose.
		Muckler also signed free agent defenseman Joe Corvo, but he will miss at least the first two weeks of the season with a broken foot suffered in the preseason.

	Dominik Hasek Ready to Sign Deal in Ottawa
		Hasek and his agent have been speaking with Senators GM John Muckler, who was Buffalo’s GM for much of Hasek’s stay there, for some time now, and perhaps the only surprising part of this process is that Hasek’s deal has taken this long to finalize.
		His past is well documented, and Muckler is very familiar with most of it, having experienced a good portion of Hasek’s antics first-hand from their days together in Buffalo.
		However, Muckler knows that a Hasek with wounded pride is a motivated Hasek; his pride will compel Hasek to do everything in his power to ensure that next season, whenever that may be, will not be a repeat of his last season in Detroit.

	Ottawa Senators' success makes GM John Muckler feel vindicated
		OTTAWA (CP) -- John Muckler says he could have listened to his critics and split up the Ottawa Senators when the team struggled out of the gate at the start of the NHL season.
		As recently as January, they were in doubt to even make the playoffs let alone get this far after several of Muckler's off-season moves appeared to be bigger busts than boons.
		The 23-year-old has always been chided for being poor defensively, but he's been given the green light in these playoffs to play head-to-head against the opponent's top-scoring lines and is often on the ice protecting the lead in the final moments of a game.

		Muckler, who had arrived from Charlotte in the 1959 expansion draft, put in $5,000 of his own.
		Muckler went on to coach the Edmonton Oilers to the Stanley Cup, then was the general manager of the Buffalo Sabres.
