Sabres Re-Sign Matt Ellis, Add Colin Stuart

The Buffalo Sabres have announced that they have re-signed left wing Matt Ellis to a one-year contract. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. The team also announced that they have signed free agent left wing Colin Stuart to a one-year, two-way contract worth $550,000. These aren't bad depth signings for the Sabres. Ellis is a hard worker on the ice and has some two-way skill, making him an effective fourth line forward for the team. Stuart has good size and plays with lots of energy. However, he will likely spend most of next season in the minors, but could see some action with the team if injuries should start to mount.
