Finally - with two preseason games under their belt - the Buffalo Sabres have signed forward Sam Reinhart. It’s a two-year bridge deal with an AAV of $3.65 million, which upon first glance, seems like a steal for the Sabres.
Reinhart’s new contract falls along the lines of some other comparable contracts that have been signed with restricted free agents across the NHL.
The Edmonton Oilers signed Darnell Nurse to a bridge deal worth $3.2 million AAV, while the Winnipeg Jets penned a two-year deal with Josh Morrissey worth $3.
