## Resource

In this episode of the Expected Buffalo podcast, we introduce a new format for our show, moving away from the traditional offering name and style. We're excited to present shorter, quick-hitter episodes that offer concise insights and updates, ideally multiple times a week. Today, we focus on the recent eight-year contract Noah Ostlund signed with the Sabres, worth $6.6 million in average annual value. We discuss the contract's implications, including its bonus structure and no-trade clause, as well as Ostlund's performance metrics. Despite having played only 60 games last season, Ostlund showed promise as a two-way player, contributing significantly when on the ice. We acknowledge the potential risks, particularly regarding his injury history, but ultimately view this contract as a proactive and smart move for the Sabres' future.
