PEARSON PICKED UP BY BUFFALO
The Buffalo Sabres acquired winger Tanner Pearson from the Winnipeg Jets for a seventh-round draft pick in 2027.
What does it give the Buffalo Sabres
The Sabres have been adding a lot of players before the deadline, including several from the Jets. That includes Pearson, a proven veteran who kills penalties and plays a solid game up and down either wing.
What does it give the Winnipeg Jets
The Jets are trying to get younger, while continuing to push for a playoff berth. The recent addition of Isak Rosen in another trade with Buffalo might have pushed Winnipeg to move on from Pearson here.
Fantasy impact
There is no fantasy impact here, since Pearson might be a part-time player for the Sabres.
