Buffalo extentions

The Buffalo Sabres extendClarke MacArthur a three year, 2.550M dollar contract (0.850M per year).

Reasons:
-MacArthur is an important future piece of our franchise and we want to show our commitment to him
-He will get time in the NHL starting next year
-Exact same contract with an extra year as the recently signed contract by Patrick Kaleta. Same "skills" and potential and the extra year will help him realize that since he does not have a permenent NHL spot yet.

The Buffalo Sabres would like to extend Andrej Sekera a 4.5 M (1.5 per year) 3 year contract extension. This is a similar deal to the one teammate Duncan Keith signed with Chicago after his entry-level contract expired but it has a little more money included.

The Buffalo Sabres offer Tuomo Ruutu a 2 year 4.8 M (2.4 M per year) contract.

He is the number 2 centre on our depth chart.
This contract both allows him to get a raise in 2 years when he is better and fits into our pay structure for length.

The Buffalo Sabres offer Jeff Woywitka a 2 year 1.800M (0.900M per year) two-way deal.

-he is important to our blue-liner depth
-There is a possibility for a raise if he plays well after 2 seasons.
