A face familiar to Jack Eichel will remain in the Buffalo Sabres organization.
The club signed Evan Rodrigues to a two-year contract Thursday, the first year of which is a two-way deal and the second of which will be of the one-way variety.
Rodrigues split last season between the Sabres - with whom he collected six points in 30 games - and the AHL's Rochester Americans, with whom he notched 30 points in 48 contests.
He spent his senior season at Boston University playing with Eichel in the latter's lone NCAA campaign.
Buffalo initially signed the undrafted Rodrigues to a two-year, entry-level deal in the spring of 2015, about two months before selecting Eichel second overall.
