BUFFALO, N.Y. — Sabres coach Phil Housley’s blue line received another injection of speed and offence with the acquisition of Brandon Montour in a trade with the Anaheim Ducks on Sunday night. 1 draft pick, who leads rookie blue-liners in points this season. The Ducks acquired defenceman Brendan Guhle, a promising play-making prospect, and a 2019 first-round draft pick in a deal struck a day before the NHL’s trade deadline. Anaheim conditionally acquired the first-round pick Buffalo acquired in trading Evander Kane to the San Jose Sharks a year ago. However, the Ducks will have the option to land the first-round pick Buffalo acquired in trading Ryan O’Reilly to St. Louis last summer.
