‘There is an extra wrinkle to the Sabres’ situation, however. Their roughly $2.2 million in cap space is hardly enough to add any of the more sought after scoring options on the market, at least not without some help by way of salary retention. But what makes Buffalo an intriguing team moving forward beyond their possible interest in adding another option up front is that they also have a few players who are seeking trades. Defenseman Zach Bogosian and winger Evan Rodrigues reportedly want out of Buffalo, and with a combined cap hit of $7.14 million, shedding the salaries by selling for cheap or including both or either in a swap gives the Sabres the option to acquire more financial flexibility.’
