The Buffalo Sabres are actively considering trading forward Jack Quinn, who posted 20 goals and 51 points last season, and he is slated to become a restricted free agent next summer.
Summer negotiations reshape roster plans
The Sabres recently signed Zach Benson and Beck Malenstyn to long‑term extensions, a move that underscores the team’s intent to retain key young talent while evaluating options for Quinn.
Across the river, the New Jersey Devils are close to finalizing a contract extension with forward Arseni Gritsyuk, who contributed 13 goals and 31 points in 66 games for the club this year.
The Ottawa Senators did not extend a qualifying offer to goalie Samuel Ersson, a decision aimed at avoiding arbitration, yet the organization continues to express interest in re‑signing him for the 2026‑27 season and beyond.
