Sabres Sign Defenseman Louis Crevier to a Four-Year, $16 Million Contract Extension

Crevier posted 25 points in 78 games last season and is expected to bolster Buffalo’s right side alongside captain Rasmus Dahlin.

  • The Buffalo Sabres signed defenseman Louis Crevier to a four-year, $16 million contract extension on Thursday, securing him through the 2030-31 season.
  • Buffalo acquired the 25-year-old Crevier in June as part of a trade for Bowen Byram, following a career-best season where he recorded seven goals and 25 points in 78 games for the Chicago Blackhawks.
  • The deal carries a $4 million average annual value, with the Sabres expecting Crevier to serve as their top right-shot defenseman alongside captain Rasmus Dahlin.
  • Ahead of Thursday's season opener against the Columbus Blue Jackets, the Sabres recalled Dennis Gilbert and placed Olen Zellweger on injured reserve.
  • Keeping their core group together, the Sabres aim to rekindle their 2025/26 season success, with Crevier providing defensive stability to compete in the Atlantic Division.
