Balancing a team’s young players and their development is not an envious job. The Buffalo Sabres have a lot of young players on their roster, so it’s a tall order for head coach Don Granato, GM Kevyn Adams and staff to find the right balance to help these players prosper.
As we get deeper into the 2022-23 NHL season, one Sabres player who warrants a bit of discussion is forward Peyton Krebs. The 21-year-old has appeared in 18 games this season for the Sabres and is still searching for his first goal. He’s notched three assists, and has found himself watching a handful of games from the press box as the team uses a rotation of forwards.
