The Sabres would be willing to trade one of their young goalies who would certainly interest Kent Hughes

According to information reported by Jeff Marek of Sportsnet, the Buffalo Sabres are not expected to sign one of their top young goaltenders in Erik Portillo, the team's 2019 third-round pick.

The latter will become an unrestricted free agent at the end of the season if he does not get a professional contract. Obviously, instead of losing him for nothing, the Sabres wouldn't rule out trading him soon.

He clearly has a very interesting profile for the Habs, who are still looking for a forward-looking netminder for the organization. If the price is worth it, Portillo is definitely a great project for Kent Hughes to look at.

Remember that Buffalo already has Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen and Eric Comrie under contract. By parting with Portillo, they will certainly be getting along with Montreal's Devon Levi.
