The Buffalo Sabres have re-signed defenseman Jacob Bryson to a two-year contract. The team announced the signing on Sunday evening, several days before the NHL’s free agency period opens.
The two-year deal comes with an AAV of $1.85 million, a nice raise from his previous three-year deal signed in 2019 that had an AAV of $925,000.
Bryson, 24, is entering his third NHL season. He made his Sabres debut in the 2020-21 campaign, recording nine points and 12 penalty minutes in 38 games. Last season, he skated in 73 games with the Sabres and recorded 10 points and 12 penalty minutes.
