Sabres sign defenseman Louis Crevier to four-year extension

The Buffalo Sabres have extended defenseman Louis Crevier’s contract for four years at an average annual value of $4 million, the team announced on October 1, 2026. Crevier, standing 6 feet 8 inches tall, is entering his fourth NHL season and is projected to play with captain Rasmus Dahlin on the top blue-line pair. His extension comes prior to the Sabres' season opener against Columbus, in which they also called up defenseman Dennis Gilbert from the minors. Crevier has previously recorded 10 goals and 32 points in 134 NHL games. He was acquired in an offseason trade with the Chicago Blackhawks and was due to become a restricted free agent next year.
