Sabres Extend Greenway, End Trade Speculation

The Buffalo Sabres have finalized a two-year contract extension with forward Jordan Greenway, removing him from trade discussions ahead of the NHL trade deadline. The deal, reportedly worth $4 million annually, extends Greenway's tenure with the Sabres, who acquired him from the Minnesota Wild in 2023. Despite being a pending unrestricted free agent, the Sabres prioritized retaining Greenway over potential trade offers, valuing his size and physical presence. This season, Greenway has been limited by injuries, recording three goals and five assists in 26 games. The Sabres, who remain in last place in the Eastern Conference, aim to solidify their roster, with Greenway playing a significant role on the second line alongside Dylan Cozens and Alex Tuch. With the extension, the Sabres aim to bolster their team while managing a period of non-playoff performance spanning 14 years.
