A big shot of continuity
LEWISTON -- The Sabres hope they solidified their future this spring by signing Tim Kennedy, Chris Butler, Nathan Gerbe, Jhonas Enroth and Dennis Persson. Two of the talented guys, Kennedy and Gerbe, are occasionally skating on the same line at the Sabres' development camp. The skill is evident, but so is something else.
"I think combined we're about 6-foot-8, so that might not work too well," Kennedy said with a smile. "But we'll stay together, and that's a good thing for the future."
Gerbe continues to make fans, as I expected he would. The 5-5 forward is always one of the last guys off the ice (just like he was when I watched him at the Team USA world championship camp), and he's been signing autographs the longest for the kids gathering at Niagara University.
