Logan Stanley (born May 26, 1998) is a Canadian professional ice hockey player who is a defenceman for the Buffalo Sabres of the National Hockey League (NHL). He was selected 18th overall by the Winnipeg Jets in the 2016 NHL entry draft.
Playing career
Stanley played as a youth with the Waterloo Wolves in the AHMMPL, before he was selected in the first round, 12th overall in the 2014 OHL Priority draft by the Windsor Spitfires. On May 9, 2014, Stanley committed to the Spitfires of the OHL to play under Bob Boughner. Stanley has also been involved with IIHF tournaments and development camps.[1]
On December 7, 2016, Stanley was signed to a three-year, entry-level contract with the Winnipeg Jets.[2]
During the 2016–17 season, Stanley injured his knee in January and did not return to the lineup until April.[3][4] On May 28, 2017, Stanley won the Memorial Cup Championship with the Windsor Spitfires.[5]
On August 8, 2017, Stanley was traded to the Kitchener Rangers.[6] Despite his trade, Stanley was awarded the Scott Miller Extra Mile Award by the Spitfires at the end of the season.[7]
Due to his success, Stanley was invited to the Winnipeg Jets training camp before the 2017–18 NHL season, however, he failed to make the roster and was sent back to the OHL.[8] During the 2017–18 OHL season, Stanley received a two-game suspension for head-checking Akil Thomas during a game against the Niagara IceDogs.[9][10] The Jets assigned Stanley to the Manitoba Moose after the Rangers were eliminated from the 2018 OHL playoffs.[11]
After attending the Jets 2018 training camp, Stanley was reassigned to the Manitoba Moose to begin his first professional season.[12] After finally cracking the Jets lineup for the 2020–21 NHL season, Stanley achieved a couple of career milestones in his rookie season; he had his first career fight on March 24, 2021, against Zack MacEwen of the Vancouver Canucks, and would later score his first NHL goal on March 27, 2021, scoring on David Rittich of the Calgary Flames in a 4–2 Jets loss.
On August 4, 2021, the Jets re-signed Stanley to a two-year, $1.8 million contract.[13]
On August 19, 2023, the Jets re-signed Stanley to a one-year, $1 million contract. [14]
On July 6, 2024, the Jets re-signed Stanley to a two-year, $2.5 million contract. [15]
On March 6, 2026, Stanley was traded to the Buffalo Sabres alongside Luke Schenn, in exchange for Jacob Bryson, Isak Rosen, a conditional 2026 fourth-round pick, and a 2027 second-round pick.[16]
International play
Stanley played for Team Canada in the 2016 IIHF World U18 Championships.[2] Stanley was invited to Canada's 2018 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships training camp but was cut before the final roster was announced.[17]
Personal life
Growing up in Waterloo, Logan attended Northlake Woods Elementary School before attending Waterloo Collegiate Institute.
Stanley is a cousin to Michael Latta, a former NHL player for the Washington Capitals.[18][19]
