BUFFALO, N.Y. -- The Buffalo Sabres have re-signed defenseman Marc-Andre Gragnani to a one-year contract.
Gragnani was a restricted free agent whose rights were retained by the Sabres in June. He's an offensive-minded player who had a goal and six assists in seven games to lead Buffalo in a first-round, seven-game playoff series loss to Philadelphia in April.
He added a goal and two assists in nine regular-season games with Buffalo last year. Gragnani was also named the American Hockey League's outstanding defenseman last season after 12 goals and 48 assists with Portland.
