On the eve of their opening night matchups, the Buffalo Sabres and Montreal Canadiens complete a minor league trade. The Sabres send forward Nic Deslauriers to the Habs in exchange for defenseman Zach Redmond.
Deslauriers was acquired by the Sabres back in 2015 as part of the trade that saw he and Hudson Fasching come over from the Los Angeles Kings in exchange for Brayden McNabb and two second-round picks.
The Quebec native played 211 games with the Sabres and registered 30 points during that time.
