Montour suffered an undisclosed injury in Monday's World Championship clash with Slovakia, Brent Wallace of TSN.ca reports.
The obvious concern for Sabres fans is the long-term implications of Montour's injury, especially considering Zach Bogosian (hip) and Lawrence Pilut (shoulder) could miss the start of the 2019-20 campaign. After joining Buffalo at the trade deadline from Anaheim, the 24-year-old notched three goals and seven helpers in 20 appearances and figures to be a consistent contributor heading into 2019-20 if he is healthy.
Its unfortunate for Hunwick. Sounds like it probably will be career ending, and neck/head problems are something you never want to see someone carry on from their playing days.
I guess LTIR? That should put us back under the salary cap.

UPL recovering: Sabres top goalie prospect Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen will not be on the ice with the Sabres when training camp practices begin Friday, Assistant General Manager Randy Sexton told The Buffalo News.
Luukkonen, 20, underwent hip surgery in April and has spent much of the summer in Buffalo working with goalie development coach Seamus Kotyk and Dennis Miller, the team's head of rehab and development.
Luukkonen is "on track" in his recovery, according to Sexton, and is expected to be ready when games begin in October. Luukkonen is expected to spend much of the season in Rochester.
