You have to love the salary cap, Buffalo Sabres fans.
Well . . . actually, you don’t – the Sabres are going to find themselves with some difficult decisions ahead of them once it comes time to extend the contract of Jack Eichel and Sam Reinhart, thanks to the salary cap – but this year, that darn ol’ cap might wind up being the Sabres’ best friend.
More than once, we have discussed the possibility of the Buffalo Sabres making a deal with the Anaheim Ducks that send a top 50 blueliner into the 716. First, we were convinced that Sami Vatanen would be the player Anaheim would be most willing to deal; currently, it appears as if the odd man out in Anaheim might be LHD Cam Fowler, who was recently labelled the 10th most likely player to be dealt on Frank Seravalli’s TSN Trade Bait List.
