He becomes difficult to trade because the cap-recapture penalties can come back to haunt Buffalo.
Really, this is the only window Buffalo gets to remove a player who doesn't want to be there and who they can't really trade anyways. Rangers would never have traded Brad Richards for the same reason - cap recapture. Buffalo is just making up for its' mistake of signing him when they tried to compete.
Let's wait until the season is about to start before we point at them while yelling "tankers!".

Actually Sabres already tanked last season so we don't have to wait before we called them that as they have a proven tanking record.
