Sabres Turn a Rosen Flip Into a Head-Scratcher

Buffalo moved Isak Rosen for two players who never even saw the ice in Game 7, and that is the kind of transaction that follows a front office around. In this league, every asset has a paper trail, and trades that look tidy in the moment can age like milk if the return never gets into the lineup. The Sabres are left explaining the logic while everyone else is doing the easy math on what they gave up and what they actually got back.
