    The Buffalo Sabres have signed defenceman Erik Johnson to a one-year, $3.25 million contract, Sportsnet's Jeff Marek reports.

    The former first-overall pick will add Stanley Cup pedigree to a young Sabres squad after he won the championship with the Colorado Avalanche in 2022.

    The 35-year-old notched eight points in 63 games for the Avs last season.

    The Sabres also signed former Avalanche teammate Tyson Jost to a one-year deal on Saturday afternoon.
