Taylor Fedun, the Sabres depth defenseman that was set to become a UFA on Saturday, has agreed to a two-year, two-way extension, Buffalo announced on Monday.
Fedun, 29, appeared in 27 games for the Sabres last year, splitting time between the NHL and the club’s AHL affiliate in Rochester. He was a very productive player for the Amerks, scoring 23 points in 29 games.
Moving forward, most expect Fedun to continue in the same role he served this year -- a guy that can provide veteran stability at the minor league level, and fill spot duty at the NHL level when injuries strike.
