Krebs Takes Sabres to Arbitration in Contract Dispute

Peyton Krebs isn't backing down in his negotiations with Buffalo, filing for salary arbitration as the two sides remain at an impasse. The Sabres forward is forcing the issue during a critical offseason when the team is trying to build around its core pieces. This move signals that Krebs believes he's earned more than what management has offered, and now an arbitrator will decide the matter. The outcome could set the tone for how Buffalo approaches its other pending negotiations.
