During this past off-season, the Buffalo Sabres signed veteran forward Jason Zucker to a one-year, $5 million contract in free agency. The move was understandable, as the Sabres needed a boost in their middle six. Now, as the Sabres charge toward the end of the 2024-25 season, it is clear the decision to bring Zucker in is one they are very happy about.
Zucker has been one of the Sabres' top forwards all season, posting 21 goals, 30 assists, 51 points, and a plus-4 rating in 67 games. Due to this and his veteran leadership, the Sabres signed him to a two-year, $9.5 million contract extension back in March. Now, with the season almost done, he is only continuing to show the Sabres they made the right call bringing him in.
Zucker has been red-hot as of late, as he has two goals, five points, and a plus-2 rating in his last four games. This includes scoring the Sabres' game-winning goal in their 6-3 win over the Boston Bruins on April 6.
Overall, Zucker is only continuing to make an impact with the Sabres, with the season just about over. While he may not have been considered one of the flashiest signings from this past summer, he has given the Sabres incredible value and has emerged as a part of their core because of it.
