To me that makes no sense. I feel like the Sabres are fully invested in their best pieces being prospects and picks. Lindholm would represent likely the most valuable piece of the deal which doesn’t fit what Buffalo wants.
Monahan is mostly for cap purposes in these deals or repurposed for more futures. Friedman has been clear that Buffalo wants futures so a 26 turning 27 year old who won’t help their rebuild and will need a big deal by the time they might compete makes no sense to me
