From the Sabres:
The Rochester Americans announced today that the team has signed forward Patrick Kaleta to a one-year American Hockey League contract. Kaleta will attend Buffalo Sabres Training Camp on a professional tryout (PTO).
Kaleta, 29, appeared in 42 games with the Buffalo Sabres last season, recording three assists and 36 penalty minutes. A native of Buffalo, Kaleta has registered 54 points (27+27) and 542 penalty minutes in 348 career games with the Sabres over parts of nine seasons (2006-07 to 2014-15). He has also recorded five points (2+3) in 12 NHL playoff games with the Sabres. In 2009-10, he collected career-highs in goals (10) and points (15) in 55 games.
Kaleta recently told WKBW in Buffalo (http://www.wkbw.com/news/pat-kaleta-hopeful-to-stay-with-sabres-play-for-coach-bylsma) that he hoped to play under new coach Dan Bylsma.
"My plan right now is just to have a plan A and that's to be with the Buffalo Sabre," said Kaleta. "I look at it as if you don't have a plan B, you're committed to plan A and that's my job right now."
Oh, completely. You have to have a Plan A. You can’t go into it without a Plan A, or else there’s just an empty space where Plan A should be; a “Plan A hole,” as it might pertain to Kaleta.

This is good because he's from Buffalo (bet no one knew that) so he won't have to move far.

Everyone knows that since his first day in blue & gold.

At least when he was on the ice Sabres fans didn't have to root for losing.
