The Sabres have now locked up their back-up goaltender, as Jhonas Enroth, a restricted free agent this Summer, to a new multi-year deal on Thursday. No financial terms have been disclosed as of yet, but with the Sabres cap situation being where it is, I would expect the dollar figures to be slightly lower than market value.Enroth ended up becoming the back-up to starter Ryan Miller in the 2011 season, making trips down to the farm team when he wasn't getting his starts and then sitting on the bench for Miller during the 2011 playoffs.
During the regular season, Enroth picked up 9 wins and 1 shutout for 20 points for the hockey pools, ranking him 51st among goalies. With a full season as back-up to Miller, the Sabres may be ready to put Enroth in for more starts, which makes him an attractive player for a late round back-up goalie.
