To Vancouver:
Riley Stillman
VGK 5th 2021
$784,582
To Buffalo:
Leo Loof
VAN 1st 2021
I have been after Riley Stillman since day 1 this year, and very happy to be the team that got him. This gives me another young and solid defenseman, with a favourable salary going forward. We haggled the cash right to the last dollar. We are sad to see Leo Loof go, as he was our up and coming SMASHER defenseman, and was a very important piece of the farm defense system, but in the end, the chance to upgrade our defensive depth on the pro team was worth Loof and the 1st all day long for us.
Thanks to Tom for excellent, kind, and cordial talks as usual.

Sabres agree. Of the D's we were looking to move, Stillman was the least preferred. However, with Marc Staal in the fold, and seeing as how we were able to land a 1st and a really solid D prospect here, it made a lot of sense. Stillman is a solid young D too, but we have a lot of those on the come up. Loof is a different type - mean, nasty, solid defensively, and with his continued development would be a really awesome future pairing with Wallinder in a couple years. Really excited to see how that turns out. Great talks Aaron - you finally found the right deal for him.
