The Buffalo Sabres have announced the signing of defenseman Tyson Strachan to a one-year contract. The former 5th round (137th overall) selection in the 2003 NHL Entry Draft has played for St. Louis, Florida and Washington, totaling 138 career games.
Strachan has also accumulated 155 career penalty minutes and 15 points (1 goal, 14 assists). He is expected to help bolster the blue line in Rochester and give the Sabres a little more depth on the backend.
