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.
