Five Buffalo Sabres Who Could Be On Trade Block

With the NHL trade deadline fast approaching, could the Buffalo Sabres be ready to make some changes?

It sure seems like it, at least based on comments from Buffalo Sabres general manager Tim Murray, quoted by ESPN’s Pierre LeBrun.

Here’s what Murray said, per that LeBrun article:

"“The approach is the same. We’re in 29th place. I do stress that we think we’ve improved greatly everywhere but in the standings. This is the process. If I can acquire younger assets or future assets for some of our veterans, especially veterans on expiring contracts, I’m going to pursue that for sure.”"

That’s pretty straight-forward for the Buffalo Sabres GM. It’s clear that he knows what he wants – younger assets, future players, prospects, etc. – and clear he knows what he has to give up – veterans, especially those on expiring contracts.

So who are these players that could potentially be on the move over the course of the next month and a half?

Let’s take a look. I’ve plucked out five, a few of which LeBrun mentions in his extrapolation on Murray’s comments, many of whom are on contracts that are expiring at the end of the season.
