Sabres sign Peyton Krebs to four-year contract extension

The Buffalo Sabres have agreed to a four-year contract extension with forward Peyton Krebs, securing him for $3.5 million per season. The deal comes after negotiations surrounding Krebs' status as a restricted free agent. Krebs, who played all 82 games last season, recorded 12 goals and 27 assists while establishing career highs in hits and blocked shots. He has developed into a reliable player since being acquired in the Jack Eichel trade and will remain a key part of the Sabres' roster as they build on their recent playoff appearance.
