Peyton Krebs is ready to hit the ice with the Buffalo Sabres at training camp.
The restricted free agent has signed a two-year deal with an average annual value of $1.45 million, the team announced Tuesday.
“I love coming to the rink every day,” he said at the end of last season. “I love Buffalo, the city. I'm gonna have my first kid here and everything like that. Buffalo is home and it's exciting.”
Krebs, 23, is still searching to make a top-six impact at the NHL level, mustering just four goals over his 80 games with Buffalo in 2023-24.
The Calgary native was acquired by Buffalo as part of the Jack Eichel trade with the Vegas Golden Knights in 2021.
Vegas picked Krebs 17th overall at the 2019 NHL Draft.
Krebs has 20 goals and 46 assists in 215 career NHL games.
