The Buffalo Sabres may have to move Casey Mittelstadt if they don’t want to pay him

NHL Watcher: Elliotte Friedman on Friday’s 32 Thoughts: The Podcast on Buffalo Sabres forward Casey Mittelstadt: “If you’re not going to pay him, he’s not going to be happy. And that doesn’t mean Casey Mittelstadt is a bad guy, but what it does mean is that he’s going to look at everybody around him and say, all these guys got paid and I didn’t.”

“If you’re not going to play him, you almost have to move him.”

Could the Buffalo Sabres be interested in Flyers Scott Laughton?

NHL Watcher: Jeff Marek on the 32 Thoughts: The Podcast on Philadelphia Flyers forward Scott Laughton: “I wonder about a team like the Buffalo Sabres as well for Scott Laughton, again, maybe the offseason, but that’s probably a team that’s looking for a little bit more snarl and some veteran presence”.

NHL Rumors: Who is the Better Option, John Gibson or Jacob Markstrom?
