The Buffalo Sabres have agreed to terms on a one-year deal with forward Dennis McCauley.
Sabres confirmed the signing this evening.
McCauley, 24, played last year for the San Jose Sharks AHL affiliate in Worcester, Mass. where he appeared in 45 games, scoring 10 goals, four assists for 14 points with 84 penalty minutes.
It’s expected that McCauley will be in Portland when the season begins.
At 6-3, 225-pounds, McCauley, along with Tim Conboy, will give the Pirates some much needed size up front.
The Billerica, Mass. native played four years at Northeastern University where he scored 45 points (22g, 23a) in 129 games.
It does make the team better from the standpoint that his size will open up the ice area for the more talented players on the ice… He’s also not a dud. If he can net 25 points that would be a good season for him.
Does this make the team better?
