Hoss Posted July 2, 2015 Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 SABRES SIGN DEFENSEMAN SANGUINETTI BUFFALO, N.Y. (July 2, 2015) --- The Buffalo Sabres today announced the team has signed defenseman Bobby Sanguinetti to a one-year, two-way contract. Sanguinetti (6’3”, 190 lbs., 2/29/1988) spent last season as an alternate captain for the Utica Comets, scoring a career-best 16 goals in 61 AHL games. His 40 points (16+24) in 2014-15 led all Comets defensemen and tied for ninth among all AHL blueliners. The Trenton, New Jersey native led all AHL defensemen in 2014-15 with six game-winning goals and his team-high plus-24 rating tied for eighth in the league. During the Comets’ deep 2015 playoff run, Sanguinetti recorded 14 more (3+11) in 23 games, again leading all AHL defensemen. At the conclusion of the season, he was named to the AHL Second All-Star Team. Since becoming a first-round (21st overall) selection of the New York Rangers, Sanguinetti has appeared in 45 NHL games in parts of three seasons with the Rangers and the Carolina Hurricanes, registering six points (2+4) and eight penalty minutes. In eight AHL seasons, he has totaled 210 points (50+160) and 126 penalty minutes in 338 games. ### Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoss Posted July 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 Yeesh. Agreed. There is some potential there, but I don't want to be relying on them. Will be interested to see what else gets done on the blueline. We don't NEED to fill every single hole on the roster right now, but I wouldn't be nearly as confident in the team's potential success this year without it.

dudacek Posted July 2, 2015 Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 Gotta start to wonder if he or Donovan are going to be in blue and gold this fall I bet they will both see time in the NHL — hopefully as our 8/9 guys, not our 6/7. Basically they've replaced Strachan and Benoit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kas23 Posted July 2, 2015 Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 These signings may be minor (no pun intended), but I think our youngsters (whoever is left of them) should be taught to win and expect to win at all levels of the Sabres organization.

bob_sauve28 Posted July 2, 2015 Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 21st pick? That's interesting. Someone trying to make a statement out about the pick he traded away? I'm only half kidding... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
