We have some action on the NHL trade market.<\/p>\n
The Buffalo Sabres are clearly not done making moves.<\/p>\n
Jack Quinn<\/a>, a former first-round pick (8th overall in 2020), is now on the trade market.<\/p>\n The information comes from reliable sources.<\/p>\n Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports that Buffalo has placed the young forward on the trade market and is actively trying to find him a new home.<\/p>\n David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period is reporting the same.<\/p>\n According to him, the Sabres have been using Quinn as trade bait since before the draft.<\/p>\n Selected 8th overall in 2020, Quinn has just recorded 20 goals and 51 points in 82 games, along with a +4 rating.<\/p>\n He also delivered in the playoffs, posting seven points in 13 postseason games, including a game-winning goal against the Montreal Canadiens.<\/p>\n Quinn is also reportedly part of the Sabres’ offer to the Winnipeg Jets in an attempt to acquire star goaltender Connor Hellebuyck<\/a>.<\/p>\n Jack Quinn’s affordable contract makes him a compelling trade target for the Canadiens<\/p>\n His contract carries a $3.375 million cap hit per season and runs through the end of the 2026-27 season.<\/p>\n At that point, he will become a restricted free agent.<\/p>\n Trading Jack Quinn would fit with the major roster overhaul launched by general manager Jarmo Kekalainen since taking over in December.<\/p>\n
