Buffalo Sabres GM Tim Murray is in full sell mode right now. While he hasn’t ruled out another deal like the Evander Kane trade, he set the odds at 80 percent that he'll sell his rentals compared to 20 percent that he'll make a pure hockey trade before the deadline.

“I don’t foresee a hockey trade, but then again, I didn’t foresee the Winnipeg trade until we did it,” Murray said when we chatted this week.

The interesting question for the Sabres is -- what happens next? At some point the selling ends and the building begins in earnest.

When the dust settles, the Sabres will be loaded with draft picks.
