And that's what happened as we get set for the 2025 NHL Draft. The Sabres dealt him to the Utah Mammoth, which means it's time for us to hand out some trade grades to see who won this one. MAMMOTH GET: F JJ Peterrka (and they immediately signed him to a five-year deal with an AAV of $7.7 million)

After all the rumors and speculation about what the Buffalo Sabres and high-scoring forward JJ Peterka were going to do with each other, things came to a head late Wednesday night/early Thursday morning.

The 23-year-old Peterka is coming off consecutive 25-plus goal seasons, including 27 this year with a career-best 68 points in 77 games.
