The Buffalo Sabres are on the verge of securing forward Josh Doan with a seven-year contract extension valued at $6.95 million per season. This major agreement includes $7 million in signing bonuses spread across the initial two years and features a seven-team no-trade clause once Doan becomes eligible.
Doan, 23, was slated to be a restricted free agent this summer. He has emerged as a crucial offensive asset for the Sabres, tallying 15 goals and 20 assists in 49 games played this season. His extension marks a significant early move by new general manager Jarmo Kekkalainen.
This deal comes as the Sabres have experienced a dramatic turnaround, boasting an NHL-best 16-3-1 record since December 9th, positioning them strongly in the Eastern Conference playoff race. Doan was originally selected 37th overall in the 2021 NHL draft and is the son of Coyotes legend Shane Doan.
