Chicago Blackhawks pull of trade with Sabres for $4 million forward

After months of speculation, the Chicago Blackhawks made a trade with the Buffalo Sabres to land an NHL player. However, the trade will underwhelm fans who were hoping that JJ Peterka would be in Chicago for the upcoming season.
Peterka had been the main focal point of trade rumors regarding the Blackhawks and Sabres. Peterka, 23, would have been a strong fit for a young Chicago team led by first-year head coach Jeff Blashill.
The Chicago Blackhawks made a trade with the Sabres
Per Charlie Roumeliotis of WGN Radio, the Blackhawks traded for forward Sam Lefferty. Chicago is sending a 2026 sixth-round pick for the veteran.
“Trade: Blackhawks acquire forward Sam Lafferty from the Buffalo Sabres in exchange for a 2026 sixth-round pick,” Roumeliotis posted on X. “Fun fact: Sam Lafferty was part of the trade package Chicago sent to Toronto that landed them a 2025 first-round pick (No. 25 overall). Blackhawks used that pick on Friday to draft Vaclav Nestrasil.”
