It's been a busy couple of days for what appears to be a new-look Buffalo Sabres team.

The Sabres announced that they have signed former Flyers forward Ville Leino to a multiyear contract. While the Sabres don't have the details of the deal on their website, TSN is reporting the deal is a six-year contract worth $27 million.

Leino is a familiar face for Sabres fans, as he scored the game-winner in overtime of Game 6 for the Flyers in their first-round series against Buffalo.

The 28-year-old posted career highs across the board last season with 19-34-53 totals in the regular season, and he then added five points in 11 playoff games.

The Sabres have also already signed former Canucks defenseman Christian Ehrhoff to a 10-year deal.
