Sabres Sign Butler

Buffalo signed D Chris Butler, a 2005 4th round pick out of the University of Denver, on Sunday.  He had 3 goals and 14 assists this season, which was his junior year.  He quarterbacked their number one power play, and blocked 110 shots.  His college point totals were 20 goals, 46 assists in 115 games.  Those are numbers I like.

Buffalo is also looking to sign diminutive BC forward Nathan Gerbe (5th rounder of 2005), who came up HUGE in the Frozen Four, and Tim Kennedy (a 6th round pick), who led the Spartans to the title last year.  Guess who’s filling their own AHL team this year?
