The Buffalo Sabres have needed help on the blue line all year long, and, following the lead of our president, they may be looking to Russia for some help.
According to Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman, the Sabres are expected to sign Viktor Antipin, a left-handed defenseman who currently plays for KHL Magnitogorsk.
Here’s what Friedman had to say in today’s 30 Thoughts column:
7. Don’t know if the Rangers are going to get Kevin Shattenkirk, but there is one free-agent defenceman they could snare. His name is Alexei Bereglazov, a 22-year-old left-hand shot playing at KHL Magnitogorsk.
