One of the Buffalo Sabres needs heading into the offseason is to add to their forward depth in the top six of the lineup. That need grows larger if they’re unable to keep Jeff Skinner from hitting the open market and signing with a new team.
Jason Botterill could explore the trade market to help find a scoring winger for his team, but the unrestricted free agent landscape offers him a few options as well. One such option is former Detroit Red Wings and current San Jose Sharks forward Gustav Nyquist.
