Sabres Linked With Avalanche in Trade Rumours
The Buffalo Sabres have been linked to the Colorado Avalanche in trade rumours. The Sabres are, and have been, shopping elite goalie Ryan Miller and centre Steve Ott. The Sabres are looking for Colorado's 2014 1st-round draft pick and possibly a talented winger to replace Ville Leino with. Colorado is currently the 3rd-worst team in the Western Conference, in need of many positions.
But goalie is a good place to start: Ryan Miller is only 33, good for another 5-6 years. He currently has a sub-2.50 GAA, a .915 + save percentage and most of Buffalo's wins.
Buffalo is currently in a state of flux. Their premier talent is not yet NHL ready, but Zemgus Girgensons, Rasmus Ristolainen, and Nikita Zadorov will be a dangerous trio when called up. To this mix the Sabres look to add the 3rd overall draft pick (Sam Reinhart, anyone?). The future awaits them.
