Sabres Sign Cody McCormick to Three-Year Extension

The Buffalo Sabres have announced that they have signed center Cody McCormick to a three-year contract extension worth $3.6 million. The deal will average out to $1.2 million per season. In 81 games last season, he had eight goals and 12 assists for 20 points and 142 penalty minutes. Not a bad signing for the Sabres, as McCormick is a hard worker on the ice, plays with lots of grit and toughness, and is versatile enough to play on the wing. He should be a good fit on the checking lines for the next three years.

Sabres Re-Sign Forward McCormick

The Buffalo Sabres announced today that they have re-signed center Cody McCormick to a one-year contract. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. He appeared in 66 games last season with Portland of the AHL, scoring 17 goals and 12 assists for 29 points and 168 penalty minutes. He also appeared in three playoff games with the Sabres, scoring two assists and 14 penalty minutes. This is really just a depth signing for Buffalo, as McCormick doesn't really have a lot of offensive upside at the NHL level and is just a physical forward. However, at the minor league level, he has had some success at scoring points, so he will provide some offensive depth for Portland next season.
