The Buffalo Sabres, in their quest for a standout netminder, are supposedly casting longing glances at the reigning cup champs' squad for a potential fit.
Whispers Link Sabres to Thompson
The puzzle is not complete just yet following the Buffalo Sabres' ambitious rebuild. Their prized goaltending prospect,
Devon Levi, is still a season or two away from rising to the role of a starter, which is specifically why Buffalo might be looking at a goaltender.
The Sabres, a burgeoning force brimming with youthful vigor, possess a promising roster bristling with fresh top-tier talents both in offense and defense. Their goal? To morph into a formidable powerhouse in the coming years.
Logan Thompson might be the bridge to get there.

This looming void is why the Sabres are on the hunt for a capable player to keep the ship steady for the imminent seasons, giving rise to the current speculation.
First up on the to-do list would be to secure a trade for Thompson.
Hypothetical Trade Scenario
Buffalo Sabres acquire:
Logan Thompson
Thompson, a 26-year-old rookie, logged 37 games in the previous season and showcased impressive stats with a 2.65 GAA and a 0.915 sv% - a commendable feat indeed!
The goalie hailing from Calgary has a contract of $766,667 per season, which is considerably affordable considering his impressive performance last season.
