- Pierre LeBrun via twitter: The Buffalo Sabres are being sold for $189 million, $175 million cash and $14 million in liabilities.
- David Shoalts of the Globe and Mail: The Sabres will announce on Thursday that the team will be sold to Terrence Pegula. GM Darcy Regier said last week he plans on shipping some veterans out before the Feb. 28th trade deadline. Tim Connolly, Mike Grier, Rob Niedermayer, Craig Rivet and Steve Montador could be on their way out. The Senators would trade anyone not named Aldredsson, Spezza or Karlsson. Burke should hear this week if Kaberle would waive his no-trade clause and submit a list of teams he’d go to, which may only be 2 or 3 Eastern Conference teams. It’s unlikely Burke could move him to San Jose for under-achieving Devin Setoguchi. Burke is said to have a list of 12 teams Francois Beauchemin wouldn’t mind playing for.
