Sabres Trade Sardarian for Tuch Replacement | Buffalo Sabres News

The loss of key forward Alex Tuch—traded to Washington and re-signed there—has left a gaping hole in their offense. To plug the gap, they’ve pulled off a savvy trade with the reigning Stanley Cup champs, the Carolina Hurricanes, sending promising prospect Stiven Sardarian (a 3rd-round pick who lit up Michigan Tech with 44 points) to Carolina. With preseason kicking off Sept 21 against Pittsburgh, fans will be watching closely to see how the Sabres adapt and reload.
