Former Erie Otter Josh Vatri, 20, is one of 41 players attending the Buffalo Sabres’ 2008 Conditioning Camp. The week-long begins today at Niagara University’s Dwyer Arena in Lewiston, N.Y.
Vatri had 18 goals, 24 points and 148 penalty minutes in 111 games with the Otters from 2005-07. The club waived him before the 2007-08 season began. Kingston later claimed Vatri, where he had no points in five games. The camp includes current Sabres Drew Stafford and Andrej Sekera, 2008 first-round pick Tyler Myers and recent signee Nathan Gerbe.
