The Buffalo Sabres had a great deal of issues last season, one of which was an enormous lack of depth at the forward position. This issue was primarily a lack in scoring depth in general, but with the new additions to the team at forward, this issue is a thing of the past.
Before the end of last season, the Buffalo Sabres were running out of NHL caliber players to ice for each game. Granted, they were having that issue from the start of the season, it was an even more evident issue towards the end of the year with many injuries in place.
