Sabres Re-Sign D Byram to 2-Year Deal

BUFFALO, NEW YORK, JUL 15 – The Sabres secured defenseman Bowen Byram with a two-year, $12.5 million deal to avoid arbitration and maintain roster stability ahead of his unrestricted free agency in 2027.

  • The Buffalo Sabres re-signed defenseman Bowen Byram to a two-year, $12.5 million contract on Monday night to avoid salary arbitration.
  • The deal followed the Sabres electing salary arbitration earlier this month amid trade speculation and offering both short- and long-term contract possibilities.
  • Byram, 24, was acquired from Colorado at the March 2024 trade deadline for center Casey Mittelstadt and set career highs playing all 82 games last season.
  • The two-year deal carries a $6.25 million cap hit annually and features a $1 million signing bonus included in the 2025-26 season, securing Byram's stay with Buffalo.
  • This signing stabilizes the Sabres' defense corps amid cap space constraints while general manager Kevyn Adams left open the possibility of trades if beneficial.
