Peyton Krebs received a B+ grade for his performance in the 2025-26 season, a year where the Buffalo Sabres reached the second round of the Stanley Cup playoffs. Krebs achieved career-highs with 12 goals, 27 assists, and 39 points in 82 games played.
Following his strong season, Krebs signed a four-year contract extension valued at $4.5 million annually. Although not a dynamic game-changer, he has proven to be a smart, steady bottom-six forward. During the playoffs, Krebs added four assists and six points in 13 games, a valuable contribution for his $1.45 million salary.
Krebs is expected to be an important player as the Sabres aim to advance further in the Eastern Conference. While not a natural scorer, he makes the team harder to play against and could reach the 50-point mark in the upcoming season, potentially earning an 'A' grade.
