BUFFALO, N.Y. — The Buffalo Sabres have signed general manager Tim Murray to a multiyear contract extension.
The team announced the move on its Twitter account Thursday, about an hour before opening the regular season at home against the Montreal Canadiens. The team did not reveal details of the contract.

The architect of the team’s rebuilding plan, Murray was entering the final season of his contract after being hired in January 2014. He replaced Darcy Regier, who was fired two months earlier.
In that time, Murray has undertaken a top-to-bottom overhaul of the Sabres’ roster, purging high-priced and aging veterans.
