Elliotte Friedman Drops Bombshell On The Teams That Will Shake Up the Trade Deadline

Elliotte Friedman recently spoke about the trade deadline on his 32 Thoughts show and named the Winnipeg Jets, Philadelphia Flyers, and Utah HC as shocking buyers.

The trade deadline is still a month away, and blockbuster moves are already being made across the league. Yet, says Sportsnet insider Elliotte Friedman, the biggest shocks are still to come.

Winnipeg, Utah and Philadelphia will be surprise buyers, per Friedman

On Friday's 'The Fan Hockey Show', Friedman identified the Philadelphia Flyers, Utah Hockey Club, and Winnipeg Jets as surprise contenders before the March 7 deadline.

The Sabres will make the biggest splash

But the shocker? The Buffalo Sabres might be the team that makes the biggest splash in the NHL.

Recent rumor has it that Sabres GM Kevyn Adams is getting interest in forward Dylan Cozens. According to insider Kevin Weekes, four teams, three of which are Canadian teams, are going after him hard.

The Montreal Canadiens, Toronto Maple Leafs, Calgary Flames, and Detroit Red Wings are the interested suitors willing to make a trade.

The Flames have already been active, picking up Morgan Frost and Joel Farabee from the Flyers last week, but they are not finished yet, it seems. Alex Tuch is another Sabres player who is generating trade rumors.

Buffalo sits last in the Eastern Conference with a 22-26-5 record, 12 points from Detroit for the last wild-card position. Most think as deadline time approaches that the Sabres will be sellers and can get a big return on Cozens.

Will it be the blockbuster to shake up the league? We will find out in less than one month.
