The Buffalo Sabres have announced that they signed center Konsta Helenius to a three-year, entry-level contract.
The 18-year-old center was drafted by the Sabres with the 14th overall pick in the first round of the 2024 NHL draft last month.
Helenius made a great first impression in a Sabres uniform at Development Camp this past week, scoring 3 goals in the annual 3v3 tournament, including a game-winning shootout goal.

Helenius will likely play for the Rochester Americans this season, but he could surprise us all and earn a spot on the Sabres roster by the end of the season.
