The Buffalo Sabres have signed top draft pick Rasmus Dahlin to a three-year Chris Wideman Jersey , entry-level contract.
Buffalo selected the 18-year-old defenseman from Sweden with the first pick in last month’s draft.
The signing was announced by the team Monday. Terms of the deal were not disclosed. The maximum value of an entry-level contract for a No. 1 pick is $11.325 million over three years.
Dahlin is expected to make an immediate jump to the NHL after playing two seasons with Frolunda in the Swedish Hockey League.
The 6-foot-3, 185-pound Dahlin’s skating and playmaking abilities have drawn comparisons to elite Swedish defensemen such as Ottawa Senators captain Erik Karlsson and former Detroit Red Wings star Nicklas Lidstrom.

The 49ers had two decisions to make about fifth-year options on 2015 first-round picks by May 3 of this year.
They exercised the option on defensive lineman Arik Armstead‘s contract, but Womens C.J. Mosley Jersey , as expected, they will not do the same with guard Laken Tomlinson. That doesn’t mean Tomlinson will be out the door after the 2018 season, however.
General Manager John Lynch Mark Giordano Jersey , who traded a 2019 fifth-round pick to the Lions for Tomlinson last year, said on KNBR that he’d like to work out a deal that keeps Tomlinson with the team.
“Those options are tricky deals … I actually聽pulled Laken in here yesterday and had a great talk with him —聽we’re gonna work towards making Laken a part of us for the long-term future,” Lynch said http://www.officialducks.com/authentic-adidas-antoine-vermette-jersey , via NBC Sports Bay Area. “The numbers are different at each position. Offensive guard was a little skewed because they include all offensive lineman — tackles get paid a lot so that number was extremely high. But we’ve already been talking with Laken’s guys about trying to make something happen, and we’ll see if that聽goes into next year.”
Tomlinson started 15 games at left guard for the 49ers last year.
