The Anaheim Ducks have traded defenseman Brandon Montour to the Buffalo Sabres in exchange for defenseman Brendan Guhle and a first-round pick, the team announced Sunday.

The first-rounder going to Anaheim won't be Buffalo's. The Ducks will receive the first-round pick of either the San Jose Sharks or the St. Louis Blues (both owned by the Sabres) based on the final order of the 2019 NHL Draft. Buffalo received San Jose's first-rounder in last year's Evander Kane trade, and collected St. Louis' in the Ryan O'Reilly deal.

Montour, 24, is a puck-moving blue-liner with a right-handed shot. He's collected 25 points in 62 games while averaging 22:40 of ice time per night.

Guhle has skated in just two games with the Sabres this season, but the 21-year-old has registered 27 points in 50 games in the AHL.
