BUFFALO BRINGS IN BAYREUTHER
The Buffalo Sabres acquired defenseman Gavin Bayreuther from the Carolina Hurricanes for winger Viktor Neuchev.
What does it give the Buffalo Sabres
The Sabres are playoff contenders in the Eastern Conference this season, but injuries on defense have been unrelenting. Bayreuther has played in the NHL this season, so he might get recalled to Buffalo at some point.
What does it give the Carolina Hurricanes
Neuchev adds to Carolina's fertile stable of Russian prospects, but he is actually toiling in the AHL. Therefore, he might be a depth option on the wing for the Hurricanes during the 2025-26 campaign. He is an underrated prospect.
