Orpik to BUFFALO?

While it appears that the Penguins continue to actively pursue resigning Brooks Orpik as discussions with his agent continue, the Buffalo Sabres are looking to sign him to their team according to the Buffalo News. This was obtained from The Insider on Pittsburgh Sports (TIOPS) today:

"Buffalo is a place he'd definitely want to come," Andrew Orpik, Brooks' brother and a Sabres prospect, told The News. "He grew up here, and he's got a special bond with the place."
