The Buffalo Sabres on Monday re-signed winger Linus Weissbach to a one-year, two-way contract worth $775,000 in the NHL.
Weissbach 25, was the Sabres’ last restricted free agent. The Swede has spent his entire two-year pro career with the Rochester Americans.
He scored 20 goals and 47 points in 69 games last season, offensive numbers that ranked third and fourth, respectively, on the Amerks. He added three goals and 10 points in 12 games during the Calder Cup Playoffs.
The 5-foot-9, 177-pound Weissbach will likely compete for a job on the Sabres’ third or fourth line during training camp.
He has compiled 36 goals and 84 point in 136 career AHL games.
The Sabres drafted him in the seventh round in 2017, 192nd overall. He enjoyed a strong four-year career at Wisconsin, scoring 34 goals and 114 points in 127 games.
