Buffalo Sabres Already Adding Defence

Buffalo Sabres general manager Jason Botterill is already hard at work to improve his new team. Many reports are on going on who potential coaching candidates can be, as well as players on their way over.

The first that is all but official. KHL defender Viktor Antipin will sign with the Buffalo Sabres. Jason Botterill has also not yet confirmed the signing, but is meeting with him to finalize the deal soon.

Antipin has the style of a puck moving defenceman, who is also a strong skating player to get back and break-up plays.

This was seen strongly at the IIHF World Championship with Russia.
