We’re roughly a month away from free agency beginning and with it the hope that comes with a new Buffalo Sabres season. There was a time when the Sabres were concerned about how they would manage to stay under the salary cap (it was the 2019-20 season but never mind that), but splashing the cash is old and busted and being frugal and wise is the new hotness in Western New York and now GM Kevyn Adams has to find ways to reach the salary floor.
Spending money in the NHL is easy but with Sam Ventura and the Sabres analytic staff providing better insight, being punished financially for mistakes may be a rare occurrence.
