According to TSN, however, the Sabres have been quietly shopping Briere throughout the arbitration process and could be involved in a "sign-and-trade."
TSN claims the two sides are working on a 5-year, $25 million deal that would then see Briere dealt immediately. Montreal, Los Angeles and Atlanta are among the interested parties.
Briere only played 48 games last season due an abdominal injury that required surgery. Before getting hurt, Briere was on his way to a career-year, scoring 25 goals and 33 assists for 58 points.
If you ask me thats pretty good. I say trade Bonk and Ribs to free up the cap space
