Sabres trade Stiven Sardarian to Hurricanes for future considerations

Summary

The Buffalo Sabres have traded forward Stiven Sardarian to the Carolina Hurricanes for future considerations, as confirmed by the team's PR account. This move comes on the heels of the Sabres losing Alex Tuch, who joined the Washington Capitals after a trade. Sardarian, a former third-round pick, had an impressive season at Michigan Tech, scoring 44 points in 37 games and earning CCHA Forward of the Year honors. The Sabres aim to fill the gap left by Tuch's departure as they prepare for their preseason games starting September 21 against the Pittsburgh Penguins.
