Sabres Re-sign Jack Quinn to Two-Year $6.75M Contract

The Buffalo Sabres have re-signed 23-year-old forward Jack Quinn to a two-year contract extension worth $6.75 million, with an average annual value of $3.375 million, avoiding his entry into restricted free agency on July 1. Quinn, the Sabres’ eighth overall pick in the 2020 NHL Draft, had a challenging season due to injury setbacks but still managed to post career highs with 15 goals and 24 assists for 39 points in 74 games. He showed improvement in the latter half of the season, tallying 34 points in his final 50 games and ranking fourth in team goals over that span. Known for his offensive upside, Quinn is expected to play a regular role in the Sabres’ top three lines moving forward. The extension follows Buffalo’s trade of JJ Peterka to Utah and leaves several other restricted free agents, including Bowen Byram and Ryan McLeod, still unsigned. Overall, the Sabres are betting that Quinn can build on his late-season momentum and regain his pre-injury form.
