Wiles had not signed after becoming a restricted free agent. Trade rumors began to swirl after the Bandits picked up two right shooters via trade; Aaron Wilson and most recently, Derek Hopcroft.
Wiles had a career year with Buffalo last season scoring 70 points in his first year with the Bandits after being traded from the Washington Stealth.
In the off season Buffalo had acquired Wilson from Edmonton, another righty shooter who has scored more than 80 points in a season and Hopcroft from Colorado. The moves for righties has raised concerns as whether Buffalo would re-sign Wiles.
