Carter Hutton is expected to sign a three-year deal with the Buffalo Sabres, worth around $2.75 million per year, according to TSN Senior Hockey Reporter Frank Seravalli.

Hutton, 32, posted a 17-7-3 record with the St. Louis Blues this past season with a .931 save percentage and a 2.09 goals-against average - both career-highs.

He was listed at No. 10 on the TSN Top UFA list and first among goalies.

In 138 career games with the Chicago Blackhawks, Nashville Predators and Blues, Hutton has a 63-39-17 record with a .915 save percentage and 2.42 goals-against average.

The Sabres were in need of goaltending help after deciding against issuing last season's starter Robin Lehner with a qualifying offer.

Hutton is coming off of a two-year contract worth $2.25 million.
