Olen Zellweger News: Inks three-year contract

Updated on July 1, 2026 at 8:48am

Zellweger signed a three-year, $9.3 million contract with the Sabres on Wednesday, per PuckPedia.

Zellweger was a restricted free agent before signing this deal. Buffalo acquired him from Anaheim on Friday. He had seven goals, 22 points, 34 PIM, 33 hits and 85 blocks in 76 regular-season outings with the Ducks in 2025-26. The 22-year-old is likely to begin next season on Buffalo's third pairing, but he has untapped upside and could grow into a bigger role over the length of this new contract.
