Loading…Louis Crevier projects as a depth defenseman for now, with a 22.6 overall that ranks 271st of 327 rated defensemen.
His best component is finishing at 59, with defensive impact (16) trailing the rest of his game.
He surged from 24.7 in 2024-25 to 52.7 in 2025-26, one of the bigger jumps in his 3-season card history.
The contract, $900K through 2026-27, grades Fair: the model's expected value of $912K is within $12K of what he is paid.
An extension worth $4M a year for 4 seasons (2027-28 to 2030-31) kicks in after that, which the model grades Overpaid.
His cap hit is the 16th-largest on the Buffalo Sabres NHL roster and uses 0.9% of the $104M ceiling; the club currently has $2.43M in cap space.

How we rate players: each skater's overall is a percentile (0-100) built from offense, defense, play driving, finishing, power-play and penalty-kill impact against players at the same position; goalies are rated on goals saved above expected. Contract value compares the cap hit with the salary the model expects for that level of production, age and position. Figures are updated as new games and signings arrive.
