Yesterday we got some unexpected news with the Buffalo Sabres announcing they’ve suspended indefinitely forward Patrik Berglund for failure to report. Roughly 24 hours later, we’re starting to get some clarity on what is happening.
The veteran Swede was acquired by the Sabres on July 1st as one of the pieces in exchange for Ryan O’Reilly. According to Elliot Friedman of Sportsnet, the relationship never got off on the right foot.
On Hockey Night in Canada’s ‘Saturday Headlines’ segment, Friedman, discussed the latest Berglund. He stated that he had a full no-trade clause that expired on June 30th and it switched to a modified no-trade clause.
