And we’re off.
The Buffalo Sabres jump-started the final 24 hours before Monday’s 3 p.m. ET trade deadline on Sunday night by dealing forward Taylor Hall to the Boston Bruins. According to TSN’s Darren Dreger, Hall and forward Curtis Lazar will go to the Bruins in exchange for a second-round draft pick and forward Anders Bjork.
Hall, the former MVP for the New Jersey Devils, signed a one-year contract with the Sabres last offseason, and Buffalo wanted to move him before he becomes a free agent again this summer.
