Winnipeg Jets trade Jordan Samuels-Thomas to Buffalo Sabres

Late this evening the Jets made a trade with the Buffalo Sabres. They sent Jordan Samuels-Thomas, a 7th round pick (203rd overall) of the Atlanta Thrashers at the 2009 NHL Entry Draft, for a conditional 7th round pick of Buffalo in the 2015 draft.

Jordan Samuels-Thomas spent last season with Quinnipiac University of the NCAA (ECAC) playing in 34 games and finishing with 13 goals and 16 assists.

According to Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Sun the Sabres have until Aug. 15 to sign Samuels-Thomas or he becomes an unrestricted free agent.

I also appear on the Illegal Curve Hockey Show every Saturday on our YouTube channel as well as the Illegal Curve Post-Game Show after every single Jets game. And I occasionally jump in the play-by-play booth at Canada Life to provide colour analysis during Manitoba Moose games.
