It took until roughly 48 hours before the NHL trade deadline, but Jordan Greenway and the Buffalo Sabres were able to reach a contract extension. And despite it happening so close to the deadline, Greenway said Thursday he was always confident the two sides could come to an agreement.

Jordan Greenway is staying in Buffalo after the team re-signed the 28-year-old winger to a two-year contract extension worth $8 million. Greenway is now under contract with the Sabres through the 2026-27 season.

The Buffalo Sabres have agreed to a two-year, $8 million ($4 million AAV) extension with forward Jordan Greenway, the team announced Wednesday. Greenway, 28, has only managed to suit up for 26 games with the Sabres this season due to a middle-body injury suffered in December that required surgery.

The Buffalo winger doesn’t pay attention to trade rumors, even those involving his name, and doesn’t use social media.
