Louis Crevier signs four-year extension with Buffalo Sabres

Louis Crevier, a 25-year-old Canadian defenseman, has signed a four-year contract extension with the Buffalo Sabres. The deal is valued at $4 million annually and will take effect starting next season.

Crevier joined the Sabres as part of a major offseason trade involving Bowen Byram and Jordan Greenway. In that transaction, Buffalo acquired Crevier along with the fourth overall draft pick and a second-round selection in exchange for Byram and Greenway. Crevier, a former seventh-round pick, established himself as a reliable NHL player last season with the Chicago Blackhawks, appearing in 78 games.

Sabres captain Rasmus Dahlin praised Crevier’s hockey intelligence and puck skills, noting his ability to play effectively across all zones. Following recent injuries to other Sabres defenders, Crevier has already seen significant playing time during the preseason and early regular season, rotating through the top and second defensive pairings.
