Sabres sign Sekera before arbitration, also lock up Ellis

‘The Sabres now have the NHL’s No. 1 payroll, $66,695,357, putting them $2,395,357 over the $64.3 million salary cap, according to capgeek.com. They can exceed the cap by up to 10 percent during the offseason and have until opening night to get under. “I think in all likelihood we’ll be a little below the number,” Regier said. That means trades, buyouts or assignments to Rochester could be coming. Regier, who has said he would explore trades, said the market is “quiet” right now. “There are still a number of players out there that teams are trying to assess their situations and the unrestricted market,” Regier said.’

Four more years of blue and gold for Sekera

‘"The conversation with Allan Walsh, his agent, has always been focused on getting a deal done," Regier said. "I think the contract actually reflects the case that he had in arbitration. Statistically, for the points that he had, he was going to do very well in arbitration. What this provided us with was a longer-term contract at what we felt were very good numbers and the belief that he would step up and not only provide the consistency, but I think we’ll see a lot of growth in him as well."’

Sabres grant multi-year deals to Sekera, Ellis

‘Ellis, 27, failed to record a point in 14 games with the Sabres last year. He has posted 13 goals and 33 points in 201 career games with Detroit, Los Angeles and Buffalo since 2006.’

Sabres re-sign Sekera, Ellis to multiyear deals

‘Sekera is an offensive-minded player who is expected to have received a raise over the $1.25 million he made last year. He has four-plus years of NHL experience and had a career-best 29 points (three goals, 26 assists) in 76 games last season.’

Sekera and Ellis sign multi-year deals

‘Buffalo Sabres GM Darcy Regier today announced that defenseman Andrej Sekera and forward Matt Ellis have each agreed to multi-year contracts.’

Sabres prospect Schiestel returning to form

‘“You take two steps forward, one step back,” Schiestel said. “It’s just a long process that you have to be patient with. Sometimes it’s hard. I like to skate. I’m a skating defenseman, so when I do these tests, and I’m usually good at it, and now all of sudden it’s a little bit of a struggle right now. It’s pretty frustrating.”’
