Offseason speculation about a change of address doesnt seem to have any effect on Thomas Vanek, whose focus is on getting ready for next season in the only NHL jersey hes ever worn. Vanek, who is entering the final season of his seven-year contract with the Buffalo Sabres, has been the subject of several trade rumours over the past few weeks. But last seasons top scorer expects to remain as a member of the team when training camp begins in September. "As of right now, yeah - I havent heard anything differently," he told ABC affiliate KTSP in Minneapolis on Wednesday. "Im preparing myself like Im going back to Buffalo, so thats what Im doing." Vanek, 29, will earn $6.4 million next season with a team cap hit of $7.14 million. He has scored 20-plus goals in each of his last eight seasons. "Im not flattered by (trade speculation) by any means," Vanek continued. "Ive enjoyed my time in Buffalo and Im looking forward to going back. In this business you cant look into that stuff, read the internet or look at the papers too much. If something happens, Im sure my agent or the GM in Buffalo will call me and tell me where Im going." The Sabres struggled in the lockout-shortened 2012-13 season, finishing last in the Northeast Division and missing the playoffs. In an effort to begin rebuilding, general manager Darcy Regier traded veterans Jason Pominville, Robyn Regehr and Jordan Leopold, prompting speculation that Vanek and even long-time netminder Ryan Miller could be on the block. "Were rebuilding, and Im hoping we have the right pieces to accomplish something," Vanek continued. "Im not saying Im old. At 29, Ive still got many years left. But at the same time, you like to be on a team where you feel like going into camp youre contending. Youre not guaranteed to win a Cup, but right now in Buffalo I think were rebuilding which is not the best case scenario for me. But at the same time, theres a lot of good young players and hopefully we pick the right ones." Files from KTSP in Minneapolis were used for this report. Adidas Superstar Womens Australia .

GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Florida coach Jim McElwain ended up making a quarterback change after all.He had no choice this time.The 22nd-ranked Gators will be without quarterback Luke Del Rio for a while, maybe even the rest of the season, because of a right shoulder injury.Its bad, man, McElwain said Monday. When you cant lift your duffel bag up, chances are somethings hurt, right?The banged-up Gators (6-2, 4-2 Southeastern Conference) also will be down three more starters Saturday against South Carolina, and two of those are out for the year. Center Cam Dillard (knee) and linebackers Jarrad Davis (ankle) and Alex Anzalone (arm) wont play against the Gamecocks. Dillard and Anzalone are out for the season.Losing Davis and Anzalone would seemingly create huge holes in Floridas defense, which ranks second in the SEC in yards allowed. David Reese and fellow freshman Kylan Johnson are expected to fill in for them.Those guys have played, McElwain said. You know what? Theyre going to play a bunch this week.There was speculation Del Rio was going to get benched after another sub-par performance. He threw two interceptions in a 31-10 loss at Arkansas on Saturday, looked uncomfortable in the pocket and showed little accuracy or arm strength on deep passes.Turns out he was playing in pain.He was banged up, said McElwain, who considered pulling him at halftime against the Razorbacks and acknowledged Monday he should have made the switch. Played that way. And, you know, looking at myself in the mirror, we should have made a change at halftime, and yet part of the reason we didnt, obviously, we didnt know the severity of it.McElwain said Del Rio was getting more tests to determine the extent of the injury.You could tell that he was in some pain at times, but I mean that kid is a fighter, receiver Ahmad Fulwood said. Even if he was (hurt), he was going to make sure that he was going to finish that gamme.dddddddddddd He gave us all that hes got.Purdue transfer Austin Appleby probably will get the nod Saturday, although McElwain left open the possibility of going with Kyle Trask or fellow freshman Feleipe Franks against the Gamecocks (5-4, 3-4).Appleby completed 42 of 67 passes for 440 yards, with three touchdowns and an interception, in two starts in place of Del Rio earlier this season. Appleby was at his best in the first half at Tennessee, but he was fairly pedestrian in six quarters since.Del Rio returned from a sprained left knee against Missouri on Oct. 15 but wasnt the same against the Tigers, Georgia and Arkansas. He had two touchdowns and six interceptions in those games.His shoulder injury happened in the second quarter against the Razorbacks. He landed awkwardly on it and was holding it before halftime and icing it afterward.Hes a tough guy. Never said anything, McElwain said. It speaks for him and the guys were ready to come out. And yet, you know, we didnt execute. Like I said, had I known the severity, probably wouldnt have done that.The injuries could hinder Floridas chances of winning the SECs Eastern Division. The Gators can clinch the division if they beat South Carolina on Saturday and Kentucky upsets Tennessee. Florida also could secure a spot in Atlanta for the second straight year by beating the Gamecocks and then winning at LSU next week.Its not about the East, McElwain said. Its about getting yourself a little bit better every day. At times we do that. This last week, we didnt. ... It was my responsibility to build on the different blocks that help you be successful, not only as a player but successful in life. When you take a look at (that), like I said, its very humbling.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
