The Buffalo Sabres have re-signed restricted free agent defenseman Bowen Byram to a two-year, $12.5 million contract that comes with an average annual value of $6.25 million.

In coming to terms on a new deal, the team and Byram have avoided arbitration.

Byram, 24, appeared in all 82 games for the Sabres in 2024-25 and posted career highs in average time on ice (22:42), assists (31), points (38), plus-minus (+11) and shot blocks (116).

A native of Cranbrook, British Columbia, Byram was originally drafted fourth overall by the Colorado Avalanche in 2019 and won the Stanley Cup with the Avs in 2022.

The Sabres acquired Byram from the Avalanche on March 6, 2024.
