Zellweger’s Sabres Debut | Buffalo Sabres News

Buffalo Sabres just pulled off a bold move, trading for 22-year-old defenseman Olen Zellweger — a speed demon with elite offensive instincts — in a deal that sends forward Anton Wahlberg and a second-round pick to the other side. Signed to a three-year, $3.1M deal, Zellweger slots into the second-pair role vacated by the departure of Bowen Byram, and GM Jarmo Kekäläinen sees him as the perfect fit: fast, puck-possession savvy, and capable of making plays. Zellweger, already a three-season NHL vet with career highs last year, knows the competition is fierce — especially with Louis Crevier in the mix — but he’s ready to battle, eager to prove he’s the answer Buffalo needs on the blue line.
