John Vogl of The Athletic: A massive effort expects to take place with the Buffalo Sabres in the next couple of weeks. Any pending unrestricted free agent and more may just get traded between now and then. Buffalo will have to eat a lot of salary cap, if necessary, to facilitate deals.
Players like Riley Sheahan, Tobias Rieder, Taylor Hall, and Brandon Montour among others will be heavily involved in rumors. Kevyn Adams will be on the phone frequently. Buffalo can retain cap money in two more deals.
