Buffalo Sabres 2023-24 Player Outlooks: Riley Stillman

Riley Stillman came to the Buffalo Sabres via trade late last season and made an average impact at best. Does he stay in the Queen City for 2023-24?

When the Buffalo Sabres acquired Riley Stillman, I felt it was a good move considering the price, which involved moving a mid-tier prospect in Josh Bloom for the physical blueliner. But Stillman never made a major impact last season despite logging five hits in the first period of his first game in a Sabres uniform.

He only recorded 24 more the rest of the way, and averaged just 12:03 minutes of average time on ice per game, telling me that he was, along with Jacob Bryson, another defenseman head coach Don Granato had a tough time putting his trust into.
