on several occasions.
Gogulla was drafted in the second round, 48th overall, by the Buffalo Sabres
in the 2005 NHL Entry Draft
. He signed an entry-level contact with the Buffalo Sabres on June 1 2007, to prevent him from re-entering the NHL entry draft in 2007, although there was some confusion as to whether he had signed. NHL rules state prospects must be signed before 5:00pm EDT on June 1 or the team's rights to the player expire and he is free to re-enter the draft or become a free agent. Gogulla was signed by this deadline, but the contract had to be approved by the NHL. There was a delay in the approval process meaning the deal could not be announced and so it was assumed that the management had failed to sign Gogulla in time. On June 2, 2007, the deal was approved and announced as a three-year entry-level contract.
In the first two seasons of his deal, Gogulla remained in Kölner on loan from the Sabres. In the 2009–10 season, Philip stayed in North America after attending the Buffalo Sabres' 2009 Prospect camp held at Dwyer Arena
, home of Niagara University Purple Eagles
, from 6-10 July 2009. Upon completing his third NHL training camp he was re-assigned to AHL affiliate, the Portland Pirates
.
Gogulla spent the entirety of the season with the Pirates and contributed 15 goals and 35 points in 76 games. Gogulla was recalled by the Sabres to their taxi squad for the playoffs following the conclusion of the Pirates post-season. Despite being unable to make his NHL debut, Gogulla was still named to the German extended squad to take part in the Vancouver Winter Olympics.
On June 8, 2010, as a restricted free agent from the Sabres, Gogulla opted to return to Kölner and the DEL and signed a three-year deal to start in the 2010–11
season.
