Sabres Talk to Jason Smith

WGR550 reports that former Flyer and Oiler captain Jason Smith has had preliminary talks with Buffalo GM Darcy Regier:

Art Breeze said Smith has received a number of very aggressive offers since the signing period began, and his family is trying to figure out the best place to play. Breeze said Smith hasn’t received a firm offer from Buffalo, and that he must gauge the seriousness of the Sabres.

Breeze told WGR that Smith has a nine-point criteria for deciding where to sign.

I wonder if he’s use that ’seriousness’ crack about any other team.
