One of those players that's already on the move is Buffalo Sabres top prospect Matthew Savoie.
Savoie, who was playing for the Western Hockey League's Wenatchee Wild, has been traded to the Moose Jaw Warriors in exchange for seven draft picks including two first-rounders in 2024 and 2027.
‼️BLOCKBUSTER TIME ‼️
