The Buffalo Sabres have been connected to pretty much every available top-six forward throughout the NHL offseason and now you can add another name to the list: Chicago Blackhawks winger Tyler Bertuzzi.
Michael Augello of The Hockey News noted Monday that Sabres general manager Kevyn Adams would "definitely be attracted by a veteran with years remaining on his deal," which is the case with Bertuzzi as he enters the second season of a four-year, $22 million contract.
The Hawks will likely aim to get off to a better start in 2025-26, however, so Augello reported the "odds are" a trade between Chicago and Buffalo wouldn't occur until the season is underway.
