Ex-Sabres Blueliner Is NHL's Top Defenseman Free Agent Left

Logan Stanley, a 6-foot-7 defenseman and former Buffalo Sabres and Winnipeg Jets player, remains the top available unrestricted free agent defenseman in the NHL. The 28-year-old had the best season of his career in 2024-25, posting career highs of 9 goals, 17 assists, and 26 points across 76 games split between the two teams. Despite his strong performance and physical presence, Stanley has yet to sign a new contract as the offseason progresses.
