Peyton Krebs SIGNS EXTENSION creating expensive bottom-six for the Buffalo Sabres

The Buffalo Sabres and Peyton Krebs have avoided arbitration, agreeing on a four-year, $4.5M extension, almost exactly the same deal that Jack Drury got in Nashville this offseason. With the signing, the Sabres now have a lot of money tied up in bottom six forwards, especially Krebs, Beck Malenstyn, and Jason Zucker. Three players Sneaky Joe believes the Sabres should've been willing to say goodbye to in order to keep Alex Tuch this offseason.

With Krebs now paid good money, will his role expand? Krebs already has become a forward that can play center or winger on any line at 5-on-5, but is there more coming? Krebs has not taken on the role of penalty killer nor faceoff specialist, two jobs that are available for him to grab, if he can improve big time in both areas.

Also, an update on Connor Hellebuyck makes it look even more likely that he'll ultimately end up in Buffalo.
