The last few weeks I’ve spent some time reviewing bottom six options to improve the depth on the Buffalo Sabres roster. In fact, one of the previously mentioned ideas came off the board over the weekend. Jordan Weal signed a new two-year contract to remain with the Montreal Canadiens.
This week we’re going to change it up and look at a top-six forward option, at a position the Sabres are in desperate need of improvement. After trading Ryan O’Reilly and Casey Mittelstadt not being ready to step in as a second line center, they need an upgrade at that position.
