That would be very good news if they can ink him long term.
But I still suspect that him going for the shorter deal was just a ploy to get more money from the Sabres. I think that it's possible that when Regier heard that he might want to test free agency in two years, Regier got scared and started offering a longer contract with more money.
The cost of doing business has become much more expensive for the Buffalo Sabres - and it won't stop with goaltender Ryan Miller.
The Sabres and Miller continue negotiations on a new contract. Miller is a restricted free agent.
Miller's agent, Mike Liut, tells WGRZ that discussions are taking place on both long, and short term contracts. What's signficant is that earlier in the summer, Darcy Regier had indicated Miller was interested in a shorter term deal, with the ability to become an unrestricted free agent in two seasons. Monday, Liut said Miller would potentially be interested in going long term with Buffalo.
Liut did not indicate how close the sides are to reaching an agreement.
