  "summary": "The Buffalo Sabres have extended defenseman Louis Crevier's contract for four years with an average annual value of $4 million, according to Yahoo Sports. Crevier, a 25-year-old 6-foot-8 defenseman, is entering his fourth NHL season and is projected to be a part of the team's top blue-line pair alongside captain Rasmus Dahlin. The contract extension comes as Crevier has tallied 10 goals and 32 points with 224 hits and 194 blocked shots in 134 NHL games, while also battling injuries that have affected other Sabres defensemen such as Mattias Samuelsson, Olen Zellweger, and Connor Timmins. The extension was necessary as Crevier was set to become a restricted free agent next season.",
