Ex-Sabres Forward Already Emerges As Trade Candidate With New Team

A former Buffalo Sabres forward has found himself right back in the rumor mill after being traded by the Atlantic Division club this off-season.

According to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman, former Sabres forward Jordan Greenway is "out there" in the trade market as the Chicago Blackhawks continue to struggle this season. 

"The Blackhawks have a lot of things out there," Friedman said. "They've been asked about some of their prospects. They've been asked about some of their guys that can play center. The other thing is, they've got Jordan Greenway out there. They've got Teravainen who's struggled out there. The Blackhawks are definitely active in terms of trying to help their team."

With Greenway being a pending unrestricted free agent and the Blackhawks being one of the NHL's worst teams so far this season, it makes sense that he is already creating chatter in the rumor mill. The former Sabres forward would have the potential to be a decent pickup for a playoff team that is looking for more size and physicality in their bottom six. 

Furthermore, the Blackhawks have young players in their system who could replace Greenway on their roster if traded. Thus, it would be understandable if Chicago moved the former Sabres forward if they are unable to get their season back on track.

In 16 games this season for Chicago, Greenway has posted one goal, 31 hits, and a minus-4 rating. This is after he had one goal, six points, and 57 hits in 40 games for the Buffalo Sabres last season. 

In 158 games over four seasons with the Sabres from 2022-23 to 2025-26, Greenway posted 18 goals, 28 assists, 46 points, 138 penalty minutes, and 326 hits.
