PLAYERS CURRENTLY UNDER CONTRACT
The following players are under contract with the Rochester Americans (AHL) or Buffalo Sabres (NHL) for the 2024-25 season:
*Please note that this list is not the actual or implied Amerks roster for next season — this list includes players on entry-level or two-way contracts with the Buffalo Sabres.
CONTRACT + PLAYER TERMINOLOGY
A player that is a restricted free agent (RFA) has reached the end of their initial entry-level contract but is not yet an unrestricted free agent. Their rights are still held by the NHL team.
A player is an unrestricted free agent (UFA) if older than 25 (or after 7 years, whichever comes first) and his contract ends. UFAs can sign with any team.
All new players, under the age of 25, are required to sign an entry-level contract. Entry-level contracts are three years if the player is age 18-21, two years if age 22-24 and one year if age 24.
If a player signs an AHL contract, then he is not eligible to play in the NHL.
If a player is currently on a two-way contract, then his pay is dependent on if he is assigned to the NHL or the AHL. All entry-level contracts are two-way contracts.
If a player is currently on a one-way contract, then he is paid the same amount of money regardless of whether he plays in the NHL or AHL.
