Toronto Maple Leafs forward named 'quality' Buffalo Sabres NHL trade deadline target

The Buffalo Sabres' quest to add another offensive threat before the 2026 NHL trade deadline may lead general manager Jarmo Kekalainen to consider making a high-profile deal with the Atlantic Division rival Toronto Maple Leafs.

Matthew Fairburn of The Athletic listed Leafs winger Bobby McMann among the Sabres' potential forward targets in the coming weeks, saying the 29-year-old veteran would be a "quality addition to Buffalo's top nine."

"Considering the contract, fit and cost to acquire, McMann might be the best option on this list," Fairburn wrote. "And the Sabres could keep him around beyond this season depending on the type of raise he's looking for on his next deal.
