"The Sabres' prospects are on the ice for the third straight day at Niagara University, while the organization remains busy off the ice. The Sabres have announced one-year deals with three players, including goaltender Drew MacIntyre and Rochester-area native Derek Whitmore.

MacIntyre, 28, led Montreal's AHL team in Hamilton to Game Seven of the Western Conference finals last season. He went 11-9 with a 1.95 goals-against average in the playoffs after posting regular-season numbers of 24-11-3 with a 2.37 GAA. He could compete with Jhonas Enroth for the backup job in Buffalo but more likely will split time with David Leggio in Rochester."
