Nearly seven hours have passed since the NHL’s free agency period officially opened, and thus far, the Buffalo Sabres have added new five pieces to their organization. Over the past few days, they also re-signed a handful of players & are undoubtedly talking with others, including RFA Ukko-Pekka Lukkonen’s camp.
No, the Sabres certainly haven’t made as much of a splash in free agency as some of their divisional rivals. The Detroit Red Wings added Andrew Copp (5 years, $5.63 million AAV) and David Perron (2 years, $4.75 million AAV); the Florida Panthers added Colin White, Marc Staal and Eric Staal (1 year each).
