Nearly ten hours after NHL free agency opened, the Buffalo Sabres finally signed a goaltender, a position they desperately need to fill. Craig Anderson will join the team on a one-year deal worth $750,000.
The 40-year-old has 18 seasons of NHL experience across a myriad of clubs. He spent this season with the Washington Capitals, where he appeared in six games. The previous 10 seasons were spent with the Ottawa Senators, but he’s also played with Colorado, Florida and Chicago. Originally drafted by Calgary in 1999, Anderson was drafted again by Chicago in 2001 with the 73rd pick.
