Sabres Secure Key Defenseman Connor Timmins in Surprising 2-Year Deal—What This Means for Their Future
Ah, the Buffalo Sabres are making moves and dodging the drama—no salary arbitration showdown this time around. They’ve locked in Conor Timmins, the defenseman they just scooped up, with a fresh two-year deal worth $4.4 million. Not bad, right? Timmins, just 26 and already familiar with the trade winds, was snagged alongside Isaac Beliveau in that June swap that sent Connor Clifton packing to Pittsburgh. Hard to believe Timmins is already onto his fifth NHL team since bursting onto the scene with Colorado back in 2019-20. Last season, he managed a personal best—three goals and fifteen points across 68 games for Pittsburgh and Toronto combined. Overall? Six goals, 46 points in 159 games; not eye-popping, but steady and reliable. This signing trims down Buffalo’s list of unsigned restricted free agents to just goalie Devon Levi. In any case, this move signals a pretty clear message: the Sabres are gearing up and tightening the roster as they look ahead. LEARN MORE
