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.

Sabres Re-Sign Forward Matt Ellis to One-Year Deal
The Buffalo Sabres announced that they have re-signed left wing Matt Ellis to a one-year contract. Terms of the deal were not disclosed. Ellis appeared in 45 games last season with the Sabres, scoring seven goals and five assists for 12 points. He also played in 12 games last season with the Sabres’ AHL affiliate in Portland, scoring two goals and two assists for four points. In 115 career NHL games with the Sabres, Detroit Red Wings, and Los Angeles Kings, he has 10 goals and 10 assists for 20 points. Not a bad depth signing for the Sabres, as Ellis works very hard on every shift he plays. He doesn’t score a lot of goals or put up a lot of points, but his hard work makes him a very effective two-way forward on the checking lines.

Sabres Claim Ellis Off Waivers from Kings
The Buffalo Sabres announced on Wednesday that they have claimed left wing Matt Ellis off waivers from the Los Angeles Kings. In 54 games last season, Ellis scored three goals and added five assists for eight points with the Detroit Red Wings and Los Angeles Kings. The Kings claimed Ellis off waivers from the Red Wings in February. Claiming Ellis was likely done for depth on offense, especially with Paul Gaustad out for the next 3-4 weeks after having thumb surgery. When Gaustad comes back from injury, Ellis could get demoted to the minors, unless injuries start to mount for the Sabres on offense.
