BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — The Buffalo Sabres have made things official for their 2024 first-round draft pick Konsta Helenius.
Monday, the team announced the signing of Helenius to a three-year entry-level contract.
Helenius' signing marks the first entry-level deal for Buffalo's 2024 draft class.
The 18-year-old made a lasting impression at the Sabres Development Camp.
