Sabres Can Shop Pending UFAs Before July 1

Buffalo has trade options on the table with pending free agents, and this is exactly the kind of pre-July 1 window that front offices love to use before the market gets weird. The Sabres can squeeze value now instead of watching players walk for nothing, which is the kind of lesson every GM learns the hard way at least once. These discussions are rarely glamorous, but they can shape the rest of the summer in a hurry.
