Date de création initiale: 10 juill. 2019

Publié: 10 juill. 2019

Mode - plafond salarial: Basique

TRADES:
AZ-BUF:
Coyotes add veteran depth that Housley's familiar with as part of blueline corps; Sabres gain cap space and mid-round pick.

LA-BUF:
Teams swap 27-year old wingers on expiring contracts with Kings upgrading speed and a defensive prospect; Sabres gain a 2-way winger with finishing ability for 1st line. Returning to his Toronto roots, Toffoli flourishes like Skinner did as Eichel's winger.

WPG/BUF:
Jets add top 4 RHD to replace Trouba's TOI and offense at cost-controlled term not adding to their cap issues, as well as 2 prospects; Sabres add a top 6 winger with offensive ability to strengthen scoring depth.

VAN/BUF:
Canucks add bottom 6 winger for mid-round pick.

ANA/BUF:
Ducks add RHD for depth in exchange for mid-round pick.

DET/BUF:
Wings add veteran 4C for PK role in exchange for mid-round pick. With Rodrigues a faster and better 2-way center, Larsson becomes expendable with the team's retention of Girgensons.

Sobotka and Hunwick are waived and demoted to Rochester. Both clear and Hunwick reports; Sobotka rejects demotion and returns to KHL, voiding his cap hit.

FREE AGENCY:
Having already added Johansson, Sabres re-sign their 3 key RFAs.

Botterill leaves himself with $3.4M of cap space.
