The Buffalo Sabres have announced that they have re-signed defenseman Marc-Andre Gragnani to a one-year contract. The financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. In nine games last season with the Sabres, he had one goal and two assists for three points. He also added one goal and six assists in seven playoff games. He also appeared in 63 games with Portland of the AHL, scoring 12 goals and 48 assists for 60 points. Not a bad depth signing for the Sabres, as Gragnani has plenty of offensive upside and is effective on the power play. However, with the off-season additions of Robyn Regehr and Christian Ehrhoff, it may be tough for Gragnani to secure a roster spot for the 2011-12 season. Look for him to start the season in the minors and be one of the first defensive call-ups if injuries start to mount on the Buffalo blueline.
