Sabres Re-Sign Forward Kaleta to One-Year Contract

The Buffalo Sabres have announced that they have re-signed right wing Patrick Kaleta to a one-year contract worth $552,500. Last season with the Sabres, Kaleta appeared in 51 games, scoring four goals and five assists for nine points and 89 penalty minutes. In 98 career games, all with the Sabres, he has seven goals and nine assists for 16 points and 151 penalty minutes. Not a bad signing for the team, as Kaleta is a very physical player who plays with lots of grit. It looks as if he and Adam Mair could take over the enforcer duties for next season, as Andrew Peters is still an unsigned free agent and may not be retained by the team.
