According to Bob McKenzie of TSN the Buffalo Sabres and restricted free agent Sam Reinhart are closing in on a two-year deal.
McKenzie later tweeted that the money will come in above $3.5 million, but lower than $3.75 million in annual average value. Much lower than the rumored contract value that was being discussed.
AAV on Reinhart two-year deal in BUF is expected to be north of $3.5M, though south of $3.75M.
