The Buffalo Sabres resumed play tonight, fresh off their bye week, but at this point of the season, the real story coming out of Buffalo is not centered on wins and losses.
Instead, all eyes are on the handful of Sabres players who could conceivably be traded before the NHL trade deadline date of February 26. Two players on Buffalo’s roster have cracked TSN’s Trade Bait List, Robin Lehner and Evander Kane, and while we still do not know whether anyone is interested in Lehner’s services, it is clear that there are a number of teams who have already considered adding Kane to their rosters as they gear up for a deep playoff run.
