Orpik: Forget I said anything…

From John Vogl at the Buffalo News:

I just got off the phone with Darcy Regier. The Sabres will not be in the final running for the services of Brooks Orpik.

“We did have conversations,” Regier told me. “I don’t expect to be a part of that going forward.”

Uh, I guess that leaves a trade still out there…or seeing how Weber/Sekera/Paetsch/Numminen maybe can fill the final two spots on the blueline.
