UPDATE: 6:39 PM CST: Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports that Deslauriers will make $775,000 per year for two years.
After trading for the rights to Jimmy Vesey, the Buffalo Sabres have also re-signed forward Nicolas Deslauriers to a two-way deal, according to the team site. Deslauriers was a useful bottom-six piece for the Sabres the past couple of years, putting up 25 points over 162 games. While he’s not an offensive threat, he plays an up-tempo game and has logged over 200 hits in back-to-back seasons.
