Lance Lysowski: Buffalo Sabres GM Jason Botterill said that they will try to add some more scoring depth in free agency but adds the trade route is more “realistic.”
Jared Clinton of The Hockey News: Jeff Skinner‘s $9 million may be more than many estimated his value at. The Sabres did need scoring and still could use more.
The Sabres do have the salary cap space – still having over $20 million – so it doesn’t hinder their cap flexibility now and in the immediate future.
