Zubrus off market
The Sabres lost another unrestricted free agent today, though this one was expected. The New Jersey Devils have signed center Dainius Zubrus to a six-year deal worth $20.4 million.
Zubrus, acquired from Washington at the trade deadline, told The News last week he didn't expect to be back in Buffalo. He was effective for the Sabres in the playoffs, getting eight assists while playing on the top checking line with Chris Drury. But he injured his knee against Ottawa and missed one game and most of another.
