Overview
- Buffalo signed Timmins to a two-year extension worth $2.2 million per season.
- The 26-year-old right-shot defenseman was acquired in June from Pittsburgh in exchange for a second-round pick and Connor Clifton.
- Last season he averaged a career-high 18:43 of ice time over 68 games, contributing 15 points split between Toronto and Pittsburgh.
- Timmins will bolster a defensive corps featuring Rasmus Dahlin, Bowen Byram, Owen Power, Mattias Samuelsson and Michael Kesselring.
- GM Kevyn Adams hailed the deal as vital for depth and culture building, with only goaltender Devon Levi left as a restricted free agent.
