"Basically, we want a contract before I go to camp. If not, I'm not going to go."Clarke and Sauve talked yesterday, but the two sides reportedly remained far apart and Clark said that his latest offer was final."If Clarkie said that, I don't know, but we're comfortable with what we're asking," Gagne told the Inquirer. "I'm not sure we're that far apart, but it looks like on their side they don't want to move."We moved a little bit a couple of weeks ago, and, like I said, we're comfortable with what we're asking when you look around at what other players around the league have signed for. My agent and Clarkie talked today but nothing really improved."Sauve told the paper that the length of the contract, a three year deal, had been worked out, but the two sides remained "a ways away" when it came to salary.Sauve also conceded that time was running out. "Do I feel good about still having a week to negotiate? Not really," he told the Inquirer.Earlier in the off-season, another Sauve client, Alex Tanguay inked a three-year deal with the Calgary Flames with an average yearly salary of $5.25 million.Gagne is reportedly asking for $5 million to $6 million a year.With files from the Philadelphia Inquirer.</blockquote>
