With 14 unrestricted free agents, the Buffalo Sabres will be working the phones for the looming NHL Trade Deadline
The Buffalos Sabres want to get younger, and to do so, odds are they will trade at least one if not a few seasoned veterans come the March 21st NHL Trade Deadline. While you can place a few players on the trading block, the Sabres will also want to trade someone who can bring value to the team.
Colin Miller seems to be the ideal candidate. Miller, who is out with an upper body injury, will be ready to go before the deadline rolls around, barring setbacks. A pending free agent, Miller makes for an outstanding half-year rental for a team ready to contend for the Stanley Cup Playoffs. And since the Sabres are struggling – they found a way to lose another one at home to the Blue Jackets – they can afford to move someone like Miller.
Also, Miller is still just 29, which also allows him to either sign an extension with a potential trade partner or test the free agent market in hopes of signing a more lucrative deal following the season. Here are three likely trade destinations for Miller.
