Peyton Krebs signed a four-year, $18 million contract with the Buffalo Sabres on Monday, avoiding an arbitration hearing. It has an average annual value of $4.5 million.

The 25-year-old forward, who was restricted free agent, had an NHL career-high 39 points (12 goals, 27 assists) in 82 regular-season games for the Sabres last season and six points (two goals, four assists) in 13 Stanley Cup Playoff games.

Krebs filed for arbitration July 5; the date of his scheduled hearing was not announced.

Selected by the Vegas Golden Knights in the first round (No. 17) of the 2019 NHL Draft, Krebs has 133 points (42 goals, 91 assists) in 378 regular-season games for the Golden Knights and Sabres. He came to Buffalo in the trade that sent Jack Eichel to Vegas on Nov. 4, 2021.
