Sorry for the lame update, but things are pretty hectic.

Sabres sign defenseman Kostka

Kostka, 22, was named to the Hockey East second team after scoring a career-high nine goals for the Minutemen. The Ontario native completed his collegiate career with 15 tallies and 38 assists in 143 games.

Sabres sign former Bowling Green forward Whitmore

An undrafted free agent, Whitmore had a career-high 27 goals and added 10 assists in 38 games as a senior, A native of Rochester, he finished his NCAA career with 103 points (70 goals, 33 assists) in 143 games.

They couldn’t sign these guys before the Top 20 was figured?

    Are you saying that either would have made the cut? Not that I’d ask you to do it all again 😉

    I think both would be in the top 20, maybe top 10 because their stats look so promising. Koska could be ranked before Funk, and Whittmore before Byron cuz he needs to gain some weight. Good start to improving our depth. This may be a sign that we’ll be calling up some guys next year, which also means we’ll see some trades.
