And that's what happened as we get set for the 2025 NHL Draft. The Sabres dealt him to the Utah Mammoth, which means it's time for us to hand out some trade grades to see who won this one. MAMMOTH GET: F JJ Peterrka (and they immediately signed him to a five-year deal with an AAV of $7.7 million)

JJ Peterka says goodbye to Buffalo, to the Sabres and to fans on social media, three days after he was traded to Utah for Michael Kesselring and Josh Doan.

Trading Peterka can help the Sabres in the long run, but Kevyn Adams needs to complete the work of building this team.
