Buffalo Sabres still in the market for defenseman
By JOHN WAWROW, AP Sports Writer
BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) - The Buffalo Sabres aren't done shopping after securing a backup goaltender in free agency. Next on general manager Darcy Regier's list: A reasonably priced defenseman.
"We're still working and have been on the phone this morning and will continue to work," Regier said Wednesday, a day after signing Patrick Lalime to a two-year, $2 million contract to back up starter Ryan Miller. "We're still exploring, really looking for a defenseman, so I remain hopeful."
What encourages Regier is that rather than reaching out to players' agents, as he did Tuesday when the NHL's free agency period opened, agents are now calling him.
"That for me is positive news," Regier said. "It tells me that players are looking at it and saying, 'Hey, Buffalo would be a nice place to play.' It tells me that it's a possibility."
Just don't expect the Sabres to spend so much they upset the team
