Sabres Sign Free Agent Forward Mark Parrish

The Buffalo Sabres have added some offensive depth by signing free agent right wing Mark Parrish to a contract and then assigning him to their AHL affiliate in Portland. The exact length and financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. He attended the Sabres' training camp on a tryout basis. In 16 games last season with the Tampa Bay Lightning, Parrish had two assists. He also appeared in 56 games with Norfolk of the AHL, scoring 17 goals and 21 assists for 38 points. This is really just a depth signing for the Sabres, as Parrish will likely spend most of the 2010-11 season in the minors, where he will provide plenty of offensive depth for Portland. If Parrish does play with Buffalo this season, it will likely be on the fourth line as a depth winger.
