Sabres Acquire Funk in Trade | Buffalo Sabres News

Buffalo Sabres pull off a savvy trade, acquiring 22-year-old scoring prospect Zac Funk from Washington in exchange for forward Tyler Kopff. Funk, a 6-foot-1, 210-pound forward, lit up the WHL with 67 goals before bouncing between ECHL and AHL, finishing last season with 19 points in 23 games. Kopff, 23, signed as an undrafted free agent and contributed 5 points in 30 AHL games. It’s a young talent swap — Sabres get a goal-scoring threat, Capitals get a different developmental piece. How they develop? We’ll have to wait and see. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
