Inks three-year contract Zellweger signed a three-year, $9 million contract with the Sabres on Wednesday, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.
Impact Zellweger was set to become a restricted free agent before signing this deal. Buffalo acquired him from Anaheim on Friday. He had seven goals, 22 points, 34 PIM, 33 hits and 85 blocks in 76 regular-season outings with the Ducks in 2025-26. The 22-year-old is likely to begin next season on Buffalo's third pairing, but he has untapped upside, so he could grow into a bigger role over the length of this new contract.

Dealt Friday Zellweger was traded to Buffalo from Anaheim on Friday in exchange for Anton Wahlberg and the No. 45 overall pick in the 2026 NHL Draft, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.
Impact Zellweger had seven goals, 22 points, 34 PIM, 37 hits and 85 blocks in 76 regular-season appearances with Anaheim in 2025-26. He's set to become a restricted free agent Wednesday, so the Sabres will need to work out a contract with him. Zellweger will probably start next season as part of the Sabres' third pairing, but the 22-year-old has the potential to develop into a top-four blueliner.

Forces overtime Tuesday Zellweger scored a goal in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Golden Knights in Game 5.
Impact Zellweger has a goal and an assist over his first two playoff outings. He's added three blocked shots and a plus-2 rating. The 22-year-old defenseman is filling in as a bottom-four option for now, but he's making a decent case to stay in the lineup for Game 6, which is a must-win situation for the Ducks to keep their season going.

Earns helper in playoff debut Zellweger notched an assist, three blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Golden Knights in Game 4.
Impact Zellweger got into the lineup over Tyson Hinds in this contest, as Hinds' regular defense partner, Drew Helleson, was sidelined by an undisclosed injury. Zellweger delivered his first playoff point, a secondary helper, on Ian Moore's game-winning goal at 3:43 of the third period. In the regular season, Zellweger produced 22 points, 119 shots on net, 85 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over 76 outings. He has a path to playing time as long as the Ducks are dealing with some injuries on the blue line, but he may not be an everyday option for the rest of the postseason.

Impact Zellweger has earned two points over his last four outings, though he was a healthy scratch once in that span as well.

With the helper Monday, Zellweger has a career-high 21 points over 72 games, and he's added 117 shots on net, 79 blocked shots, 34 PIM and 31 hits this season.

Impact Zellweger ended an eight-game point drought with this tally, which tied the game at 4-4 early in the third period.

He's at seven goals, 19 points, 93 shots on net, 59 blocked shots, 24 PIM and a plus-6 rating over 56 appearances. That production is in line with his 20-point effort in 62 games in 2024-25, though his ice time has dipped a bit this season.
