Sabres lock Noah Ostlund into eight-year, $52.8M extension

Buffalo signed Noah Ostlund to an eight-year contract worth $52.8 million ($6.6 million per year), extending a rising forward who posted 27 points (11 goals, 16 assists) in 60 games as a rookie and had a goal and an assist in three playoff games before a lower-body injury. The deal cements Buffalo’s young core as the team enters next season with about $29 million in cap space, with Doan and Benson also on long-term deals; the arrangement unfolds amid CBA rules that limit maximum contract lengths to seven years, complicating long-term signings.

Bedard Eyes Kane Reunion as Blackhawks Hope for a Quick Turnaround

Patrick Kane is weighing his unrestricted free-agent options, with Chicago and the Buffalo Sabres as frontrunners. Connor Bedard says a Kane reunion would make the Blackhawks a much better team and he'd be excited to play with him. Kane’s decision timeline is unclear, and while he could serve as a veteran presence on a roster built around Bedard, his next destination remains undecided. Bedard recently signed a five-year, $75 million contract and is 21; Kane turns 38 in November and could influence Chicago’s short- and long-term outlook.

Sabres shore up blueline with Zellweger on three-year deal

Buffalo signed 22-year-old defenseman Olen Zellweger to a three-year deal worth about $9 million after acquiring him from Anaheim, hoping he can grow into a top-four role alongside Dahlin and Power and possibly boost the power play after Bowen Byram’s departure; Zellweger posted 7 goals and 13 assists in his first full NHL season and 7 goals and 15 assists last year, with reduced ice time, making this a bridge deal while he remains a restricted free agent with arbitration rights when it expires.
