The Buffalo Sabres announced today that they have signed left wing Michael Ryan and center Paul Szczechura to one-year contracts. The financial terms of both deals were not disclosed. In 58 games last season with Springfield and Adirondack of the AHL, Ryan had 26 goals and 18 assists for 44 points. This will be his second stint with the Sabres, where he previously played from 2006 to 2008. In 79 games last season with Norfolk of the AHL, Szczechura had 21 goals and 30 assists for 51 points. These are really just depth signings for the Sabres, as both players will likely spend the majority of next season in the minors.

Lightning Re-Sign Jones, Thompson, Szczechura
The Tampa Bay Lightning have announced that they have re-signed centers Blair Jones and Paul Szczechura to one-year contracts. The team also announced that they have avoided arbitration with left wing Nate Thompson and re-signed him to a one-year deal. The financial terms of all three contracts were not disclosed. These aren't bad depth signings for the Lightning. Jones has some offensive upside and can play a physical game when he needs to. Thompson plays with lots of energy and brings plenty of grit and toughness to the lineup. Szczechura has a little offensive skill and is good on the faceoff. Thompson and Szczechura will likely play fourth line roles on the team next season, whereas Jones may have to fight for a roster spot at training camp.
