The Sabres have traded Brendan Lemieux, Drew Stafford, Tyler Myers, Joel Armia and a 1st round pick to the Jets for Evander Kane, Zach Bogosian and Jason Kasdorf.
Lemieux, 18, was a second-round pick (31st overall) of the Sabres in last summer’s draft. The son of former NHLer Claude Lemieux, Brendan is a gritty forward who can put the puck in the net. He has 35 goals and 15 assists (50 points) in 46 games with the Barrie Colts (OHL) this season.
