A week after filing for arbitration, forward Peyton Krebs avoided a hearing by signing a four-year, $18 million deal with the Buffalo Sabres on Monday.
Krebs, 25, is coming off his best season, posting a career-high 39 points (12 goals, 27 assists) while playing all 82 games. In his first NHL postseason, he contributed six points (two goals, four assists) in 13 games.
Krebs, a restricted free agent before signing a new deal, had filed for arbitration July 5.
A first-round pick (No. 17) of the Vegas Golden Knights in the 2019 NHL Draft, Krebs was part of the trade that sent superstar center Jack Eichel from Buffalo to Vegas in November 2021. In 378 games with the Golden Knights and Sabres, Krebs has 133 points (42 goals, 91 assists) in 378 games over six seasons.
