Sabres would accept that I'd think

Brandon Saad would be a perfect player for them, though, in my humble opinion, it might take more than 3 x $4.5 to get him. He's a bigger burner who has won before and who's underlying numbers scream a fit for the Canadiens' system. He's also a former Blackhawk and I am certain that Bergevin knows him.

I'd be open to giving him more. I'd be willing to go up to 5.5 since we would still have ~2 mil in cap space
