Peeke Extended / P3 @ Buffalo |

The Columbus Blue Jackets have extended the services of right-handed defenseman Andrew Peeke for the next 3 years, at a cap hit of $2.75M through the end of the 2025-2025 season.
The total comes to $8.25M million dollars. In 115 NHL games, the Florida native had 3 goals and 18 assists with a -17 rating and 68 penalty minutes. The second round pick of the 2016 draft is a Notre Dame alumni, and has been a middle pairing defenseman since his arrival into the Columbus system.
His size and shot are his strengths, though his price may have become inflated from the Gudbranson signing in July, plus losing one year of unrestricted free agency also may have added to the price. A guy like this is a playoff guy when he gets there.
GameDay Preview
The Buffalo Sabres a riding a high with the continuing development of their prospects, trust in coaching and management is great; and they had some decent additions in the summer to ensure depth to their roster.
Goaltender Eric Comrie comes on a healthy deal along with defenseman Ilya Lybushukin. Craig Anderson and Vinnie Hinistroza return. Riley Sheahan is back. Owen Power is here for the whole year. Matthew Savoie is a great add in the draft. A top six center for sure. The shocking move was snagging Kale Clague off Montreal. Great add.
Drake Caggiula and Dustin Tokarski went to Pittsburgh; Will Butcher and Colin MIller went to Dallas; Mark Jankowski went to Nashville; Mark Pysyk went to Detroit; Aaron Dell went to San Jose; and John Hayden went to Seattle. All free agent departures.
More has gone out the door, but younger blood is here. And that is what both teams are going with tonight.
