'Boulton, who led Buffalo with 178 penalty minutes last season, signed a two-year deal, which he agreed to before an arbitration hearing earlier in the day. The contract is expected to provide Boulton a raise over the $400,000 he made last season, his third with the team. Tallinder agreed to a one-year, $836,000 contract by accepting the team's qualifying offer. The deal represents a 10 percent raise for the second-year player.'
