The offseason rumour mill continues to swirl as the Buffalo Sabres are reportedly still interested in making a blockbuster deal happen with the Winnipeg Jets.
The Buffalo Sabres have made plenty of huge offseason moves, but they don't plan on stopping anytime soon. Sources say that the Sabres still have strong intentions in acquiring Nikolaj Ehlers and top prospect Rutger McGroarty.
Nikolaj Ehlers is one of the top trade candidates for this offseason, but he has yet to be moved. The Sabres have been viewed as a solid potential landing spot for him, given their apparent need for a top-six winger. After not landing a top-six winger in free agency, GM Kevyn Adams should consider making a push for Ehlers.
On the other hand, Buffalo enthusiasts seem keen on also making a move for Winnipeg Jets top prospect Rutger McGroarty.
McGroarty wants to begin his NHL career elsewhere, and there certainly is a chance that the Jets will move him before the start of the season. When noting that he is an offensively skilled forward who plays hard and has a high hockey IQ, he would be a massive prospect for the Sabres to add to their system.
