The Buffalo Sabres locked up another member of their 2022 Draft class on Thursday with the signing of defenseman Vsevolod Komarov to a three-year, entry-level contract.

The 19-year-old Russian was selected in the fifth round (134th overall) after his first season with the Quebec Remparts of the QMJHL. Konarov more than doubled his offensive output this season, scoring 39 points (12 goals, 27 assists) in 62 games and is a key part of the Remparts being the Q’s representative in the Memorial Cup.
