The news for the Buffalo Sabres continues to get better this week as we get closer and closer to training camp beginning.
First on Monday the news broke that the Montreal Canadiens had finally found a suitor for Max Pacioretty, and traded him to the Vegas Golden Knights. The Habs got back a 2019 2nd Round pick, 2017 1st Round pick Nick Suzuki and veteran forward Tomas Tatar.
Pacioretty is now in the last year for a reasonably cheap $4.5m/yr deal and was always expected to leave Montreal with the Habs continuing their rebuild.
