Varone was traded by Buffalo on Saturday along with Jason Akeson, Phil Varone, and a conditional draft pick. Ottawa sent Eric O'Dell, Cole Schneider, Alex Guptill, and Michael Sdao to the Sabres in the deal.

EDGE Analysis

Varone has made five appearances with the Sabres this season, tallying a mere two points to date. Although the trade may look large, for fantasy purposes, it shouldn't concern owners across the board. Expect Varone to spend most of his time in AHL Binghamton for the remainder of the season.
