Sabres trade Bailey to Flyers

January 17, 2019

The Sabres announced on Thursday night that they traded Justin Bailey to the Philadelphia Flyers in exchange for forward Taylor Leier.

Leier was a fourth round pick (117th overall) in 2012 and has bounced back and forth between Philadelphia and the Lehigh Valley Phantoms of the AHL.

I founded Buffalo Hockey Central in 2008 and have poured hours and hours into this site. Luckily, we have a great team of writers and designers who have helped keep this up and running despite a ton of out-of-pocket costs. We do this because we enjoy it, and we're desperate to see the Sabres win the Cup someday, but they have to make the playoffs first.
