Enroth the front-runner to back up Miller

Seven goaltenders found new homes today, but none took up residence in Buffalo. It's quite possible none of the remaining free agents will, either.

"I spoke with Patrick Lalime’s agent. We’ll meet again tomorrow," Sabres General Manager Darcy Regier said. "As I said at the season-ending time, we have a goaltender in the minors now [Jhonas Enroth] that’s very close to playing. I believe he can play in the National Hockey League, at least play some games in the National Hockey League. The question for us is whether we’re going to put him in that backup role or we’re going to find someone else in that backup role."
