BREAKING: Buffalo Sabres & Calgary Flames Announce Big Trade

Moments ago the Buffalo Sabres acquired a 4th round pick among other assets in a trade deal with the Montreal Canadiens. They have given this 4th round pick to the Calgary Flames for an absolute steal of a trade.
The Calgary Flames have traded Michael Frolik to the Buffalo Sabres in exchange for a 2020 4th round draft pick. There are no other assets or players in this trade. Frolik has scored 5 goals and 5 assists in 38 games this season. Frolik's $4.3 million annual cap hit is set to expire on July 1st, 2020. His contract also includes a modified no trade clause, therefore we may presume that Frolik had agreed to be traded to the Sabres' organization. This seems to be a win-win deal for both the Flames and the Sabres.

We have acquired forward Michael Frolik from the @NHLFlames in exchange for a fourth-round pick in the 2020 Draft (originally owned by the @SanJoseSharks).
