Sabres sign Sheahan to 1-year, 2-way contract

The Buffalo Sabres have signed forward Riley Sheahan to a one-year, two-way contract worth $950,000, the team announced Wednesday.
Last season with Seattle, the 30-year-old native of St. Catharines, Ontario recorded four goals and 13 assists in 69 games.

He ranked second on the Kraken in shorthanded ice time per game (2:06) and led the team in shorthanded faceoffs taken (187). He took 58.3 percent of his total draws in the defensive zone last year.
This will be Sheahan's second stint with the Sabres. In 2020-21, he posted 13 points (4+9) over 53 games played.
Sheahan, who was selected in the first round of the 2010 NHL Draft by Detroit, has amassed 194 points (74+120) in 635 career games.
