With almost 50 seasons in the books, the Buffalo Sabres have obviously made a slew of trades and have acquired hundreds of players. The trade acquisitions start with Ted Hodgson, who was acquired from the New York Rangers for cash and never laced up the skates for the Buffalo Sabres, no any other NHL team for that matter. The trade acquisitions end with Jeff Skinner who was picked up from the Carolina Hurricanes.
This list will be a little different as we will not be looking at top trades, but top trade acquisitions. We are going to be ranking the top players based on their impact on the team, not whether or not the Sabres won the the trade.
