Game Recap
Sabres Dodge $6.5M Parayko Bullet
The Sabres thought they had their top-four defenseman locked in with Colton Parayko, but the Blues vet just invoked his no-trade clause and sent Buffalo back to the drawing board. GM Jarmo Kekäläinen was ready to ship out prospect Radim Mrtka and a first-rounder for the $6.5 million cap hit through 2030, a massive swing to end that playoff curse. Parayko's loyalty to St. Louis, where he won a Cup, trumps a trip to the Queen City, leaving the Sabres to pivot on deadline day.
