He just signed a new contract, four years times 4.5 million

So Sabres fans love him
His opponents certainly don’t
He’s got that great sandpaper to him
Mike Augello, good deal for the Sabres, good deal for Peyton Krebs
What do you think of this?
I think it’s a good deal for both
I mean, if you look at the free agent signings on July 1st and the type of players, you know, fourth line, but flexible, can play wing or center like Colton Sissons or Jack Roslovic with Toronto, they made over $4 million or around $4 million
And the Sabres got Krebs for four years at 4.5
Lindy Ruff calls him the Swiss Army knife
He moves up and down the lineup, as you said

He, in certain situations late in the game, he plays on the top line because he’s really good defensively
It’s weird
He was a scorer in junior and everybody expected him to be a big scorer at the NHL level, but he has morphed into an antagonist, sort of a Darcy Tucker type of pain in the butt type of player
And he’s really good at it
And he’s good on, good, as a defensive player as well
So it was a good signing for both
