Buffalo Sabres Sign Matt Ellis To One Year Contract

Forward Matt Ellis has signed a one-year contract with contract details yet to be announced. Ellis had 3 goals and 13 points while playing in 72 games last season. 

One would assume that this deal is a two-way deal, but we honestly can't confirm that at the moment. It would be a curious decision if the deal was one-way with all of the talk that Darcy has made this offseason about giving some players a chance, see Tyler Ennis and Nathan Gerbe. On a two-way contract, Ellis would be a great depth player in Portland and someone that could fill in easily if injuries occured.

Glad hes back. Good for Portland and the first 3rd or 4th line call up. Good job Darcy.

Where else would you rather be?

Grinders don’t need to hit, they need to grind, which he does well. Hitters hit, which Pat Kaleta does well.

Fear the Grier!!!!

According to the highly reliable CapGeek, it’s a two-way deal – http://twitter.com/capgeek/status/22675149119

Nice signing by the team – Ellis makes a great short-term call-up.

I think we can assume he’s in competition with McCormick for a fourth line spot with Kaleta and Gaustad.

On the Mike Weber bandwagon.
Everything wrong with the Sabres is Drew Stafford's fault.
