The Buffalo Sabres acquired forward Jordan Greenway from the Minnesota Wild for a 2023 second-round pick and a 2024 fifth-round selection, the teams announced.
The 2023 pick initially belonged to the Vegas Golden Knights.
There's no salary retention in the deal. Greenway is under contract at $3 million per season through 2025, and his agreement includes an eight-team no-trade list in the final year.
Greenway was a second-round pick of the Wild in 2015. The 6-foot-6 left-shot has managed only seven points in 45 games this season. It's the worst offensive pace of his career by a considerable margin.
Greenway played under Sabres head coach Don Granato on the U.S. National Team Development Program Under-18 team in 2014-15.
The Sabres are in pursuit of their first playoff berth since 2010-11. Buffalo currently sits four points back of the second wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference but has four games in hand.
