The Buffalo Sabres have locked up another of their restricted free agents. The team announced Monday morning that it has signed forward Brett Murray to a one-year contract worth $750,000 (league minimum).
With Murray’s signing, the Sabres have two RFAs left in the system: Arttu Ruotsalainen and Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen. None of the Sabres RFAs elected for arbitration, which is likely a good sign with regards to an upcoming contract.
Murray, who is about to turn 24 on Wednesday, spent most of last season with the AHL’s Rochester Americans. In his third pro season, he registered 15 goals and added 17 assists for 32 points in 52 games.
