Another member of the Buffalo Sabres has requested a trade out of the city. According to TSN Insider Darren Dreger, Evan Rodrigues has told Buffalo's management he wants to leave and his name has been on the market for a while.
Rodrigues, 26, signed a one-year extension with Buffalo at the end of last season. To put it mildy, he's not having a good year. In 24 games this season, the forward has no goals and three assists. He had his best season in 2018-19 when he put up nine goals and 29 points in 74 games.
Rodrigues was never drafted. He signed an entry-level contract with Buffalo in 2015 after completing his college career at Boston University.
Rodrigues is the second member of the Buffalo Sabres to request a trade this season. Dreger revealed that blueliner Zach Bogosian also wanted out of Buffalo earlier this month. Bogosian has played 12 games with the Sabres this season, recording no goals and three assists.
