‘The Sabres have to also dump salary in two years to re-sign centres Jack Eichel and Sam Reinhart and trading Kane to address other roster needs could also work in the Canucks’ favour. If Vesey goes elsewhere, the Sabres may want a left-winger in return, such as Baertschi, or a prospect like right-winger Jake Virtanen in a possible package deal. The Sabres also need a veteran defenceman to play in their second pairing and could be interested in Luca Sbisa.’
