Sabres hope to re-sign Spacek

The Buffalo Sabres are negotiating with Jaroslav Spacek in an attempt to re-sign the veteran defenseman before he's eligible to become a free agent next week. General manager Darcy Regier said he's made Spacek an offer and plans to have further discussions with the player's agent, Stephen Freyer, before the start of free agency on July 1. Freyer said his client is interested in staying in Buffalo, but said it's too early to predict what will happen.
