Buffalo Sabres consider trade of Jordan Greenway to ease salary cap issues

Summary

The Buffalo Sabres face challenges as they aim for contention due to a tight salary cap. With key players like Alex Tuch and Zach Benson needing new contracts, the Sabres have nearly $12 million in cap space. Possible relief may come from trading Jordan Greenway before the offseason starts. Moving him could create about $4 million in flexibility, a critical figure for their negotiation process. Teams like the Chicago Blackhawks and Vancouver Canucks are potential trade partners as the market for veteran players evolves.
