A major rumour is going around about a potentially significant trade on the horizon for the Buffalo Sabres.

According to trusted hockey insider Eklund, the Sabres might just be on the brink of landing a top goalie, and it could happen this weekend!

"Sabres Closing in on a 'serious goalie' THIS Weekend. This is from a source... The names, I would imagine, are limited to likely Hellebuyck or Logan Thompson. Stay tuned"

Currently, with their eyes set on a playoff berth, the Sabres are leaning heavily on their young talent, Devon Levi. Adding an experienced goalie to their roster would certainly boost their odds.

Hellebuyck: The Top Contender?

As Eklund mentionned earlier, Logan Thompson and Connor Hellebuyck seem to be the frontrunners for this move.

Logan Thompson, who played a pivotal role in Vegas's Stanley Cup victory last season, would be agreat candidate. However, the Golden Knights, dealing with cap issues, might not want to part with Thompson, especially given his entry-level contract salary.

Meanwhile, the rumor mill has been buzzing about Connor Hellebuyck wanting a change of scenery from Winnipeg. But the Jets are in no rush to making it happen, and could very well wait until the trade deadline if the right offer doesn't come.

Do you think Hellebuyck will be traded to Buffalo?
