The Buffalo Sabres are shopping yet another player, ahead of Friday's trade deadline. The team is struggling to find wins this season.
Dylan Cozens, Dennis Gilbert and Henri Jokiharju are gone, and their departures to Ottawa and Boston, respectively, are clearly felt in the dressing room. But the NHL schedule leaves no room for any pity parties.
Florida’s first big deadline move sent goalie Spencer Knight and a first-round pick to Chicago for defenseman Seth Jones. Saturday will mark the third game with the Panthers for Jones, who’s skated on a pair with Niko Mikkola and averaged 20:40 of ice time in two wins.
Buffalo Sabres general manager Kevyn Adams has been under a ton of pressure in his fifth season on the job. The team is again in last place in the Eastern Conference, fans have been chanting for his job and a handful of his key players were the subject of trade rumors throughout the season.
The Buffalo Sabres were expected to be busy at the NHL Trade Deadline, but they took an unexpected route, re-signing pending free agents Jason Zucker and Jordan Greenway to two-year contract extensions.
