Friedman: Sabres, Bruins to discuss Stewart trade possibility soon

Elliotte Friedman was on Calgary’s Sportsnet 960 on Tuesday afternoon.

On the NHL trade marketplace headed into Christmas:

“The one I think they’re kind of looking at is – I really think Buffalo would like to do something with Chris Stewart. He’s a healthy scratch today. Ted Nolan called him soft and that’s not good for a guy’s trade value, last I heard.

“I had heard – Peter Chiarelli wouldn’t talk on the weekend, but I heard there was nothing imminent in Boston. And then down at the BOG today, the word I got was I think the Sabres and Bruins are finally going to decide if there’s a deal to be made here. So I wouldn’t be surprised if sometime in the next week or so, before the deadline kicks in on the 19th, I think the Sabres and the Bruins are going to maybe decide do we have a match here or not.”
