According to the anonymous insider Eklund, the Sabres are closing in on a top goalie, and the trade could happen this weekend!
The Sabres have playoff hopes this season, and for now, they're relying on rookie Devon Levi to lead them there. Getting a goalie would help their chances of being successful.
Thompson, the current goalie in Vegas who won the Stanley Cup last season, likely won't be traded by the Golden Knights. They have no cap space, and his cheap contract is an incredible asset for Vegas.
There have been many trade rumors this summer involving Connor Hellebuyck. Apparently, he wants out of Winnipeg, but the Jets are waiting for the right offer before moving him.
