LYUBUSHKIN LANDS IN ANAHEIM
The Anaheim Ducks acquired defenseman Ilya Lyubushkin from the Buffalo Sabres for a fourth-round draft pick in 2025.
What does it give the Anaheim Ducks
In Lyubushkin, the Ducks add a solid defensive defenseman with plenty of experience at the NHL level. He should provide more stability to Anaheim's back end in 2023-24.
What does it give the Buffalo Sabres
The Sabres had a surplus of defensemen after adding both Erik Johnson and Connor Clifton this off-season, so it makes sense that they parted ways with Lyubushkin at this time.
Fantasy impact
There is no fantasy impact here, as Lyubushkin will continue to work as a stay-at-home defender at the NHL level.
