BUFFALO, N.Y. (July 17, 2016) — The Buffalo Sabres today announced the team has signed two restricted free agents not named Rasmus Ristolainen in forward Daniel Catenacci and goaltender Jason Kasdorfto two-way contracts.

Catenacci (5’9”, 191 lbs., 3/9/1993) made his NHL debut for the Sabres during the 2015-16 season, recording seven shots on goal in 11 games. Buffalo’s third-round pick (77th overall) in the 2011 NHL Draft, Catenacci also posted 24 points (12+12) in 50 games for the Rochester Americans (AHL) last season. In 196 career AHL games, the Richmond Hill, Ontario native has recorded 76 points (38+38) and 131 penalty minutes.

Kasdorf (6’3”, 172 lbs., 5/18/1992) also made his NHL debut in 2015-16, making 26 saves against Columbus on April 8 in his only appearance. Acquired in a trade from the Winnipeg Jets on Feb. 11, 2015, Kasdorf posted a 38-37-9 record with a .920 save percentage and a 2.39 goals-against average in 88 career games for RPI (NCAA) before turning pro last season.

Surprised Catanacci got another contract. I suppose he's good AHL depth that can fill in in a pinch.

That's exactly what he is.  I've got no problem with the signing.

I'd like to see Kasdorf beat out Nilsson to backup Lehner. Let Ullmark play 60 games in Roch.

Got two more done.  Now get Rasmus and Zemgus done!

Looks like Catenacci got a 1-year deal, and Kasdorf a 2-year.
