To BUFFALO:
Alexander Radulov
To DETROIT:
Brandon Saad (and his $2 mil retained salary)
Sabres agree. This ended up being basically the best of all worlds for us. We LOVED what Brandon was doing in Buffalo thus far, but his pending UFA status made him sort of the asset we were using to try to make a final improvement at forward.
Radulov is pretty much the same type of player, but has a bit more of an edge and comes with an additional year on his contract. This pushes us up toward our internal salary limit, but we think it's worth it in the end.
Good talks Mathias!
