A solid move for Buffalo right before facing the Montreal Canadiens tomorrow night.<\/p>\n
The Sabres have bolstered their blue line with two affordable additions who give them much-needed depth.<\/p>\n
Jones, 29, is a left-shot defenseman with 255 NHL games of experience.<\/p>\n
He opened the season with three points in four games for Wilkes-Barre\/Scranton in the American Hockey League.<\/p>\n
Sabres trade Ryan Johnson for two defensemen as Rasmus Dahlin’s injury tests Buffalo’s depth<\/p>\n
Laatsch, 24, also shoots left. He played 10 AHL games last season after four years at the University of Wisconsin. He was a seventh-round pick in the 2021 NHL Draft.<\/p>\n
Johnson, meanwhile, leaves Buffalo after four seasons with the organization.<\/p>\n
A first-round pick by the Sabres in 2019, he has appeared in 47 NHL games.<\/p>\n
It’s an interesting trade-off.<\/p>\n
Buffalo parts ways with a former first-rounder who never secured a regular NHL spot, landing an experienced defenseman and a promising young prospect in return.<\/p>\n
Dahlin, 26, has four points in six games and carries an $11 million cap hit. Losing him would leave a significant hole on the blue line, making this trade especially timely.<\/p>\n
All eyes will be on Tuesday’s game!<\/p>\n
“The Sabres acquired defensemen Caleb Jones and Daniel Laatsch from the Pittsburgh Penguins on Monday in exchange for defenseman Ryan Johnson.”<\/p>\n
– Buffalo Sabres<\/p>\n
Both newcomers could suit up as early as Tuesday night!<\/p>\n
