Is he the same as that Danforth guy?

It looks like he actually had a good last season as a senior citizen.

It’s just weird to me.

Future considerations usually means nothing.

If so, why do Carolina a favour?

It’s a whatever move.  He is never going to see the NHL what does it matter?

However, his becoming an unrestricted free agent hinged on him telling the NHL Central Registry that he was no longer an undergraduate student. He never did.

That effectively put Sardarian in contractual limbo. His signing rights remained with Buffalo, but he had not chosen a place to play for the 2026-27 season, as he is out of NCAA eligibility. His choice not to notify the NHL Central Registry may stem from the Sabres informing him they were negotiating a trade.

my guess is the sabres tried to get something back for him... failed.. and then just did the player a favor and let him go wherever he wanted

Now... watch Sardarian gel with Stankhoven and Marjala help the Oilers win a Cup and just plain hit as top-6 stalwarts. The entire scouting staff gets inducted into the HHOF. Adams gets a recycled-GM-for-life card and turns around 5 different franchises.

Because they previously sent them Pu.

Probably because they’re doing the player a favor, not the team.

Maybe Carolina doesn’t have a full roster yet. 

couldn’t be us..

It was a ***** trade for them

I sat behind his father and kid brother at a Harbor Center prospects camp.  Talked to them for a moment.  They were really supporting him strongly.   He is still a long shot but best wishes to him.

Yeah, thats where I am at... this is about the fact we have no plans for him, another team wants a look... awesome, let him go there, he does something great we get a 6th rder in 2031 or something...  its a move for the player.

I miss the days when the Hellebuyck thread had meaning... 😢
