You got to think Risto was eyeing that Ekblad contract pretty hard.

Citing information he heard from an agent, former NHLer Georges Laraque told WGR radio in Buffalo Thursday that the Buffalo Sabres are trying to trade talented forwardEvander Kane, who is the subject of a police investigation.
"It seems now they want to pull the plug on it," Laroque said. "I don't know if you could give that guy away with all his baggage."

Sabres also sign Derek grant. Has played 40 games with 3 assists, but don't be fooled. This is an AHL signing

Re: Sabres news and notes

There's a few other signings on the Sabres front, most of it Amerks-related...

*They picked up 2 defensemen: Justin Falk, who played last season for the AHL champion Lake Erie Monsters(what, you thought the Cavaliers were the ONLY Cleveland-based team to win a title this year? ) and Taylor Fedun, formerly with the Utica Comets. They both signed 1 year, 2-way contracts.

*And...just in, they also added Mac Bennett(ANOTHER D-man; he played last season for the St. John's IceCaps)and F Daniel Muzito-Bagenda(who played last season with the Mississauga Steelheads)to 1-year AHL contracts.

Re: Sabres news and notes

Initial word is Foligno simply accepted his qualifying offer, an equal to last season's salary of $2,250,000. #Sabres

Re: Sabres news and notes

With Foligno in tow, #Sabres are just under $7M of cap space with Risto and Girgensons yet to go. Getting interesting.

Re: Sabres news and notes

Another #Sabres cap point: They're on the hook for $1.5M this year for Cody McCormick but a LTIR settlement could help if they exceed cap.

Re: Sabres news and notes

NHL deadline has passed for RFAs to accept qualifying offers. We know #Sabres doing long term w/Risto. Girgensons situation remains unclear.
