The Buffalo Sabres are in the market for a forward
TSN: The Buffalo Sabres lost out on Patrick Kane but GM Kevyn Adams could continue looking for a forward according to Darren Dreger. They going to be getting two forwards back from injury.
“The good news for the Sabres though, is that they don’t have to be in a rush. If they’re adding that piece, they got Jack Quinn coming back in the near future, they’ve got Tage Thompson who isn’t that far away. So, you’re talking about two top six forwards. They’re open for business in Buffalo to add a forward, but it’s not an intense search.”
