Sabres and Ottawa make blockbuster trade...of AHL players

The Sabres acquire four players for Rochester and bid farewell to three of their own.

For much of the weekend, Buffalo Sabres fans have watched team after team make trades, while Sabres GM Tim Murray patiently waited to deal impending free agents such as Jamie McGinn, Chad Johnson, and Carlo Colaiacovo.

Your wait is now over, Sabres fans, as Murray has completed a blockbuster, seven player deal with the Ottawa Senators. The only thing is, the trade is solely for AHL players.

The Sabres have acquired forwards Cole Schneider, Alex Guptill, and Eric O'Dell, and defenseman Michael Sdao, all of whom play for Ottawa's AHL affiliate.
