According to Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet, the Buffalo Sabres have traded forward Sam Reinhart to the Florida Panthers in exchange for goaltending prospect Devon Levi and a draft pick.

Reinhart, 25, has spent his entire seven-year NHL career with the Sabres after they selected him second overall in the 2014 draft. The Vancouver, BC native was one of the only bright spots on a weak Sabres team this season. In 54 games, he had 40 points (25 G, 15 A), 10 penalty minutes, and was a -28. He's set to become a restricted free agent.

The deal will be official after a trade call with the NHL. Neither Florida GM Bill Zito or Buffalo GM Kevyn Adams would comment on the trade last night.
